It's official, I'm a published author! The book came out last week ahead of schedule, so I was unprepared and unable to effectively promote it from my place under the dryer at the hair salon. And then, I had to prepare and pack for our big trip to Wisconsin, so the roll-out hasn't exactly been... Continue Reading →
Tania Says
Some people revere Confucius and quote his wise words to shape their lives. Growing up, we quoted the immortal advice of my great-grandmother: "Don't pick at it." These days in our house, we quote the wisdom of Mrs Tania. Tania is my son Jackson's teacher at school, and I hope someday we'll be best friends... Continue Reading →

Today I vacuumed, like, the really big vacuum you do once a month where you move the furniture and really get every crumb. The whir of the vacuum was a soothing white noise to the clang of toys and the squeal of toddlers, and it gave me time to think. I recently read an article... Continue Reading →
Bon Voyage
Hulu recently changed up their platform to make it harder to navigate and less user-friendly, which means when I have a free moment and want to watch a TV show or movie, I can't because it's too complicated. While I can't find shows I regularly watch on Hulu, or search for movies without offensive violence,... Continue Reading →

Tomorrow we will celebrate with the kids by splashing around in an inflatable pool and eating ice cream (sad dairy-free style for Archer) to commemorate the birth of our nation. It will be a fun day of playing with the kids, enjoying the almost oppressive sunshine, and eating the delicacies of our forefathers: hot dogs... Continue Reading →

As you may have gathered from the colorful, eclectic design of my blog, I'm both very artistic and excellent with computers. In truth, I can pretty much use Microsoft Word unsupervised, but one time the tab got all messed up and I cried until Robby helped me fix it. I don't know why electronics elicit... Continue Reading →

I'm spending some time alone to get the writing part of the book completed this weekend (!!) and I decided to choose an AirB&B in Texas this time, rather than New Mexico. NM is beautiful, and seems to have more places to stay, but if you look a little harder you can find amazing options... Continue Reading →

There are people who are competitive, and then there's me. Naturally competitive personalities seek out challenges like league sports or group activities to keep others abreast of their progress. They post weight loss photos, gym photos, and my-kid-is-reading-at-age-4 photos. The most driven and motivated find ways to compete with themselves, pushing their minds and bodies...

New content was promised, so new content you shall have! Mommy is on vacation. Yes friends, I have hung up my frilly apron and feather duster and blown out of town for some alone time. I have been wanting to write more, and the literal and mental clutter of the household were stunting my progress,... Continue Reading →

We have done the impossible. We went 30 days without grains, dairy, soy, sugar, and all things easy and fast. To the uninitiated, Whole30 is a slightly more strict paleo diet that you stick to for 30 days without cheating, in order to reset your body. I have obvious health issues (Crohn's), and less obvious... Continue Reading →
