(Don’t worry, this isn’t turning into a Disneyland blog.) I had the best time with V at Disneyland last week, and ever since I’ve been talking to all of my coworkers about buying an annual pass. “But the cost,” I moaned. “And even if you get the cheaper pass, parking is $25 per trip. So … Continue reading

Small Life, Slow Life: Evaporating Color.
The truth is, since I stepped into my new role, I haven’t written a single word. (Well, that is, other than work emails and business recaps and community plans.) I did all that work last year clearing out the channel, scrubbing off the rust and corrosion, wrote 100 days in a row and then some…and … Continue reading
Small Life, Slow Life: How I became happier. {So much worked in 2018.}
We rolled in today slowly, gently, in comfy clothes. We spent a long time at the park with V’s cousins, had lunch, ran around the mall, and mostly stayed at home on the couch, snuggling and having snacks. When that got boring, we asked Alexa to play upbeat 80’s music and had a dance party. … Continue reading
Small Life, Slow Life: Weekly recap, plus thinking about next year, reading, and loss.
This week, I had a date with Matt and James, we showered our team with gifts at our holiday staff meeting (matching red plaid pajamas), we went to the funeral for C’s grandma and the memorial today at the home of C’s parents, I got sick, and I finished three books. All in all, a … Continue reading
Small Life, Slow Life: Connected to my body? I don’t think so.
Today in CardioBarre, I tried for the umpteenth time to get my toe pointed, foot at the right angle, leg moving in the right direction, with my back flat and holding onto the bar equally with both hands without gripping and/or rotating my body too far in one direction. It didn’t work. “You have to … Continue reading
Small Life, Slow Life: 100/100!!!! {Highlights from the 100 days.}
It’s here. It is over. This is Day 100; I have written here every single day for one hundred days. I can’t believe it. I feel fulfilled, alive, and sad. (I also still haven’t decided if I’m breaking up with the Oxford comma, or not.) Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma? –Vampire Weekend … Continue reading
Small Life, Slow Life: 77/100 {You’re already doing it.}
Today, I led some of our new hires at work through writing their vision and setting goals. Which is my favorite thing to do, like, ever. You take a group of people who have, up until that point, usually had crappy jobs, and teach them all about stretchy pants and education and how to connect … Continue reading
Small Life, Slow Life: 50/100 {Halfway there! What I am learning.}
When I started the goal of blogging 100 days in a row, I didn’t think it was that big of a deal. But ten days in, I was like, Holy shit — how am I ever going to make it to 100? It was a much bigger goal than I originally anticipated. It takes a … Continue reading
Small Life, Slow Life: 49/100 {What it’s really like to work for lululemon.}
I got a comment yesterday asking me about my job, what a typical day is like at lululemon, and how I knew it was the right career for me. Well, I can start out by saying that I didn’t know it was the right job for me, at all! I applied at lululemon because I … Continue reading
Small Life, Slow Life: 40/100 {Gluten-free In-n-Out burgers + oven-baked crispy French fries!}
Today was the second Monday in my “make dinner four Mondays in a row” goal! I’ve been thinking about what I would make today for over a week. I wanted to make something that felt like a treat, but with much better ingredients. My daughter loves French fries, but we never give them to her … Continue reading
