I work for a mom community website where moms come to ask each other for advice from other moms. We’re recently working on a project that has me spending lots of time reading, classifying and sorting these questions and answers. It is fascinating. Our community skews ultra right wing Christian, and so it is not […]
Years ago the piping on one of my sofa cushions blew out. I’d long ago forgotten until the kid’s spilled something on that cushion at a time when I couldn’t just toss it into the wash, and so I turned it over, rediscovering the blow out. This is a sofa I’ve had since college, so […]
It is amusing to me how children change your life. Before we had kids, a romantic weekend involved a few long runs, home cooked meals or fancy restaurants, and a day walking on the beach or hiking in the woods.

From Will, to all his ladies. (That would be ALL of you reading this): For the school card exchange, we made stamps the old fashioned way – with potatoes we bought at the farmer’s market. [eye roll] Will helped me stamp the construction paper, and then hot glue hearts in place. Delusional, I thought he […]
