On Saturday, I posted a photo similar to the one above on Instagram. The difference was nothing was crossed out in the first photo. I hashtagged it (as you do) with #augustmanifestoisboringbutnecessary and #makeitpublicmakeithappen. (Obviously that second one might have more traction.) We've been in our house for 1.5 years (already?! OMG.) and the thing…

HEY! I had a boring block of text written here but I'm changing it up…. I'm sort of in an odd "in-between" zone with work right now. August feels like a lull in the year. Too early to gear up for the excitement that is fall. Too late to be impressed by hot summer days.…

e & p, circa 2007ish. p was 24. e was 22. life was good. I was asked by my friend Sarah of Yes and Yes (listen to us chat in a podcast episiode about blogging here!) to share some wisdom with my 22-year-old self. Her fun idea for Notes To My Younger Self is helping…

I get questions often about how I organize my digital photos. I always respond that I really don't. This is what I do: I plug in my phone or my camera into my laptop. iPhoto pops up. I transfer all the photos there. I name the event something classy and super specific like like "mid-July…

I'm excited to share that the MAKE29 print pack is in the shop. To celebrate, I am offering free worldwide shipping on everything (click here to see what's available) this weekend only. Use code SHIPITFREE JUST KIDDING, my checkout system is having errors, so I have manually removed the shipping cost. No need for a…

Hey, long time no word dump. What a crazy July. Work hard (WDS), play hard (also WDS and a bachelorette party in Austin). Compared to that, August is going to be a breeze (unless an opportunity I cannot say no to is planning to fall from the sky). Thank you for your kind words these…

Do you want to know something HILAROUS? On my July editorial calendar I had planned to post a WDS recap on Tuesday 7/15. I thought I would be able to sum it all up in a post. HA! I'm in the middle of sharing the behind the scenes of actually speaking (hopefully the final two…

coming off an incredible high. feeling an overwhelming sense of relief. looking forward to sharing so much more about WDS. starting Drop Dead Healthy by AJ Jacobs. laughing outloud on the plane ride home. squeezing Ellerie to pieces. believing wholeheartedly that "the juggle" is possible. thinking if you want to set records on your fitbit,…

Headed out to Portland this afternoon. Paul's joining me tomorrow and we're both so excited for an awesome 3 day vacation with 30 minutes of amazing (and terrifying) speechmaking. I'll be Instagraming my life away, battling nerves, drinking coffee, breaking records, world dominating, eating doughnuts and probably putting a bird on it. READY? SET? GO.

One of our summer manifesto goals was to grill a pizza. We have this grill pan (it's great for cooking veggies too) and I used about 3/4 of our normal pizza dough recipe to fit the pan. Cheese on the bottom, toppings (onion, pepperoni and green olives) in the middle and red sauce and fresh…
