One Of Those Days

I’m wearing one white and one black sock and though I’d love to say it’s a part of some larger plan, it’s sadly because they’re the only clean socks I could find this morning. Dillon’s been a complete ass, clingy and winey until I’m about ready to strangle him. And just as I’m […]

Le Tour. California style.

With many of the big Tour de France names riding the Tour of California this week, I’ve been following the stats closely as the teams rode through my hometown, before finishing in Redondo Beach. Though my parents are currently visiting my brother in Australia, my dad has been able to keep up with the […]

Home Again, Home Again

The weekend went really well and gave me some much-needed time away. Though Chris and I have left Dillon for a night a few times, and Dillon and I have left Chris for a weekend or two, this was the first time that I had been away from the both of them. Not […]

Road Trip

Heading to Willamette University this weekend to visit our Beta Chi chapter, where I’ll be facilitating IMPACT alpha chi omega, a leadership conference. As a former chapter advisor, I’m excited for the opportunity to work with collegians this weekend and help their chapter to take the next steps in leadership. Going into college, […]

Thirteen Months

Little Man,
It’s truly not funny. No more shitting in the bathtub.
Thank you for providing me the perfect reminder of why it is that I’m looking foward to this weekend. For a moment or two this afternoon, I was beginning to feel a bit apprehensive about leaving you with Daddy for the next couple […]

New Kicks

I’ve been mulling over an overhaul for a while now, never quite certain which direction I wanted to go but realizing that I was looking for something that reflected more of, well, me. Although I’ve got some clean-up left to do behind the scenes, things are pretty much complete.
The past couple of weeks have […]

The Periphery

Before Christmas, an overseas opportunity within Amazon came across Chris’ work email. Although we’d just recently begun to feel settled in Seattle, we both figured that it couldn’t hurt to put his name in the hat. The position would have relocated us to Dublin, Ireland and we were excited about the opportunity. […]

When the sun shines in Seattle, everyone is outside. It doesn’t matter if the temperatures are below freezing, people drop what they’re doing to get out and enjoy the sunshine. The truth is that Seattle doesn’t get near […]

My New Riding Partner

Looking to get out and enjoy the sunshine, Chris and I decided to hitch up the bike trailer yesterday afternoon and take a quick ride down to the Locks. Although pretty cold, Dillon was nicely protected from the elements inside our new Burley Solo. I had been looking for a break in the […]
