I hardly ever do stuff like this, so bear with me, okay? Unless this is the very first time you’re reading my blog, then you know I’m having a baby very soon. Literally, sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas, we’ll be welcoming an adorable, pooping, crying, time-consuming bundle of joy into our home. Some of my [...]

Now more than ever I need to remind myself that as challenging as my days can be lately, I am very very lucky.

There is nothing I hate more than the instability of moving, and I especially hate the long, arduous process of finding a new place to live. I’m not usually a procrastinator when it comes to this sort of thing. But we’d just moved, spent two weeks in Europe, and I was struggling with morning sickness [...]

Disclaimer: I plan to be pretty open about baby stuff here. If you’re not into the baby thing, please feel free to skip these posts. I’m trying to keep baby posts down to one a week since I know I have readers who don’t have children. I realize that with posting so light lately, it [...]

My friend Kacie is thinking about getting a smart phone. She’s been asking me lots of questions about my iPhone, and she requested that I share some of my favorite apps here. Okay! As someone who doesn’t talk on the phone a lot, I use it more for browsing the Internet and applications than I [...]
