July 27 I had to leave lovely San Jose and get back home. Unfortunately, the “getting back home” involved a four hour delay in Denver, but fortunately, one of my very best friends from college (and in general) lives very close to the airport and came to see me with […]
It has been so busy around here, which is funny, because we’re pretty much done with all of the summer plans we had. But braces, doctor’s appointments, eye appointments, conferences, school supply shopping, and a new puppy, it feels like there’s something to do every day. And school starts in […]
My parents have done a ton of work on their house in the last year, and still have a ways to go on their whole-house renovation. They have pretty much finished the upstairs, though, with three bedrooms and a bathroom, and my mom has been decorating the “grandkid room”, where […]
If we’re friends on Facebook, it’d be impossible for you not to know that we got a new puppy this week. My friend’s dog had a litter of them, and when we dropped by her house recently, we fell in love. (Thanks, Nikki!)

Ivy turns seven on Friday. SEVEN YEARS OLD. She’s so ready for second grade. She’s smart, she’s funny, she’s goofy, she’s protective. She tells me to be careful every time I climb up to the top bunk to give her a hug good night. She’s thoughtful, she’s […]
I know this is a day early, but I’m headed to the BlogHer conference tomorrow afternoon, and have some fun BlogHer news coming up tomorrow!

I’m heading to my first ever Blogher conference tomorrow, in San Jose California. I can’t really tell you how nervous I am, and I definitely can’t tell you how excited I am. I’m going to be meeting a lot of online friends that I’ve become close to, but only “in […]
This week was busy, even without many plans! July 13 We went out to eat for my dad’s birthday and my parents’ 40th anniversary, then came home and put up the girls’ early birthday present. July 14 I don’t really have words for this. He’s definitely got his own […]
“Cozy” during the summer is “Cold From Air-Conditioning”
Or Sick.
I like the picture of the girls because it’s kind of three layers….their “audience” of the Furbie and the Talking Penguin thing, then the girls snuggled up together, and finally, the leftover birthday balloons in the window (one of which you can […]
Today, our youngest girl turned five. FIVE. She is funny. She’s frustrating. She’s lovable and helpful, smart and sassy. She’s difficult, she’s SMART. She’s friendly and fierce. And she’s FIVE. Happy birthday, EB. We love you, Miss Sass.
