I have been wearing my Fitbit Flex for one full year. And by wearing, I mean I have worn it nearly 24 hours a day, seven days a week for one full year. Today I wanted to share a "review" and why I think this fitness tracking method has worked for me. First some basic…

photo by the Goodness Five years ago today, I was waking up in a hotel room with my mom. I had a pounding headache, thanks to a tremendously fun rehearsal dinner where an un-mentionable amount of wine was consumed. I tried to eat breakfast, popped some Advil, put on my red heart headband and favorite…

We are so thrilled to be expecting our second child! Yep! Ellerie will become a big sister in early November. We've had a long time to adjust to this news and it still feels a completely unreal. I found out the day before my 30th birthday, just five days after I turned to Paul one…

I've got three things on my mind right now (it's Thursday afternoon). Going out for breakfast with my crew tomorrow morning. There are tough parts of having a toddler that gets up at the crack of dawn and a husband who often works night shifts, but being first in line when Snooze opens is not…

coming home after a long beautiful weekend in Chicago with my girls. loving my new favorite photo of Ellerie with her globe. enjoying my first tea latte! so excellent. feeling happy about the final version of GTWB … that double cover and slightly larger coils made all the difference. finishing The Likeness (enjoyed it!) eating…

I have been meaning to get a post like this together for ages. It's taken forever because the act of "documenting my days" leaves less time to actually "do the work" of my days. There is a huge difference between our daycare days (currently T/Th) and my mama days (currently MWF). This is what a…

We had a low-key Easter weekend around here. My brother, Rob, came took the train down from LA Saturday afternoon. Ellerie has met him just a few times but this was the first time she said "Robbie!" to him, which was all kinds of adorable. Ellerie loves any adults that want to play so having…

trying to figure out what my next craft project is going to be. working on getting up the energy to finish a quilt I started last spring. eating egg salad. ('tis the season, I guess?) We really need to dye eggs next week. listening to the 99% Invisible podcast. I explained to Paul that it's…

When I moved into this house in February 2013, Paul was deployed and Ellerie was still on the inside (I was about 27 weeks pregnant). SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED IN THOSE TWO YEARS. Of least importance is the fact that we got the house decorated and functional. Today I thought it would be fun to…

around here it's 11:10am on Thursday. Daycare was cancelled due to a staff development day and Ellerie just went down for a nap. It's been awhile since I've written up a random dump of thoughts and since I've got the time, I'm going for it. around here we are spending that beautiful, extra light-filled 4…
