taking a self-portrait a day in 2015. This is a quiet project which means no hashtag (gasp!) and not all are getting shared on Instagram (what?!?!). We'll see how it goes. Could burn out. Could succeed. Like everything I do.
feeling OH SO WORDY these days. I have way too much to say. I think it's because of the holiday blogging "break." (I took off four days total.) I start to miss the act of typing, apparently.
getting over a sinus infection that has plagued me since way-back-when in 2014. Daycare is amazing, but the germs are so real.
loving listening to stories about Paul's workday. Sometimes I am jealous of couples who have similar careers and/or work together and other times I am so glad our day lives are so different so we can properly be shocked by what the other goes through and are able to be each others' voice of reason.
reading Being Mortal and feeling all the feelings. It's an intense one.
watching the #habitprogress hashtag grow. Make29 eleven was my first product EVER to really sell outside my Internet bubble and that's been really exciting. I'm so optimistic about what this could mean for the planner.
speaking of the planner…it's officially on my editorial calendar to give you an update about it on 1/21. I am sorry for the much hyped and then delayed post. People have been asking about the launch, the first version will be an academic planner meaning it will hold July 2015-June 2016. I hope to open pre-orders towards the beginning of May and ship it in early June.
trying a lot of new meals. So far this, this and this are huge hits around here. I'd love to get a longer post together highlighting a few more plus what we're feeding Ellerie these days (spoiler alert, quesadillas and bites off mom and dad's fork.).
finishing True Detective. Now, that was A Show. Paul and I are also watching Justified, which is great, but feels like a cartoon compared to the gritty violence of True Detective. It's like popping in a romantic comedy to relax after a horror film.
attemping to give up Candy Crush…again. Seven days cold turkey and holding strong.
listening to so many podcasts. I've mentioned Serial and StartUp but now I'm hooked on Reply All which has made me go back and listen to many random episodes of TLDR. I am also a new fan of Grace's After the Jump…I just pick an episode (from the 100!) and it's always a gem. I admire many things about Design Sponge's Grace Bonney, but mostly I appreciate her ability to articulate.
knitting this cardigan in white before I start on my second sock. Instagram has already warned me about Second Sock Syndrome (which is a serious and real condition) and I am going to do my best to not succumb.
drinking tea again! Fellow black licorice fans (we're a small but mighty crew), this is the best tea hands down.
finding Ellerie to be the most hilarious human on the planet. Everyday I stare at her and wonder how this child grew out of that tiny newborn baby. I use the word rad way past the point of it having any meaning but that's what she is. So rad. Being her mama feels like more of an honor every day.
heading to Disneyland on Friday! Ellerie is probably way too young but we're excited anyway.
wanting to say thank you so much for your comments on Tuesday's post. It's really easy (for me, at least) to only hear the negative noise sometimes. I am in the process of reading each kind word and it has been a tremendous reminder of why I think this – sharing bits of our lives and all of my work online – is so worth it. Really. Thank you. The random giveaway winner will be announced at the bottom of that post (and emailed) this afternoon.
enJOY it
