Well, hello! Contrary to popular belief I am still alive and kicking. (Actually, the baby is doing most of the kicking these days, but you know what I mean.) I’ve had a hard time getting going again since we returned from our two week mini-vacay in Anchorage. I never thought that just hopping on a plane, […]

Don’t you guys love those moments in life where you get all philosophical and life just starts throwing these deep thoughts your way? Maybe it’s the island fever lifting, but that’s how I’ve felt the last several days. Having time to sit in silence while Noah naps and Josh is in class have led me […]

I’m already amazed at how much I’ve grown to love this tiny little baby growing inside me. I know that she (or he…I’m just using the general she terminology) is no bigger than an olive right now and wouldn’t even fit fully in the palm of my hand, but knowing that this little person is […]

These last two weeks have been a bit of whirlwind around our house. The husband made rank and found out he was advancing in May or June; which is such a blessing. He works so hard and loves what he does so much. It makes me happy to see him succeed doing something he loves. […]

I haven’t done one of these posts in a while (the whole tagging someone and answering questions thing, that is). But, since I seem to be lacking in creativity lately and I’m pretty sure my readers are bored to tears, I thought I’d give this a go. Who doesn’t love a good interview now and […]

I feel like everything on my blog lately is the same: confessions about my lack of time to do much of anything… expressions of how utterly exhausted I am most days… excitement for all of the things that I want to do… and happiness over the design waiting list that continues to grow. Let me emphasize […]

I have a million things that I could talk about today. I could talk about the tears I shed when someone I consider to be a dear friend, though we’ve never met in person, messaged me on Twitter to let me know that she was expecting. She wanted to tell me, personally, before announcing it […]

I’m a dreamer by nature. I was born that way, I guess. Even when I was little, I was constantly envisioning myself living somewhere else…somewhere far away. Exploring the world, experiencing life and all that it had to offer. Traveling from place to place. Learning new languages, eating exotic foods, exposing myself to culture and […]

You see the world in black and white. Good and bad. Hot and Cold. Bed time and Play time. Mommy and Daddy. There’s no complications. No middle ground. It’s either or. I admire your innocence. Your sense of certainty about the life you live. There’s no confusion. No doubt. No hesitation. Just simplicity. A little […]

  Being a business owner scares me. Not because of money. Or liability. Or fear of messing up someones blog or website. Those things could be bad; cataclysmic even to my business or my reputation. Those things worry me, but they aren’t the things that I dwell on. Those things that leave me antsy here […]
