Add me on Goodreads here! One of the things I missed during the early, sleep-deprived days of being a new mom was READING! I was an English major and have always been a voracious reader. My most favorite days in school were when those little Scholastic flyer-booklets would be passed out. Nothing smelled better to … Continue reading
The sun is hot. The sun is yellow. The yellow sun is over the house. “It is hot out here in the sun.” “It is not hot here under the house.” –Go Dog Go, by PD Eastman (It was my favorite book, and now it is V’s as well.) I love summer. It’s my favorite … Continue reading
Sometimes I think that I want another baby, but then I’m like, Am I crazy? Still pretty raw over yesterday, I started the day puffy-eyed and went to work. After work, C and I made “the switch,” which is me taking Violet and him going to work. We see each other four about four minutes … Continue reading
Today we said goodbye to Sophie, our ten year-old mini schnauzer. It was a really difficult decision my mom and I made together after considering the amount Sophie was suffering, and the amount she’s suffered her whole life. Being in the presence of someone/something who dies isn’t something I’ve done a lot in my life, … Continue reading
The way a place smells can really take me back. I look back sometimes and honestly can’t remember what it feels like to be a teenager. Or to be so heartbroken in my mid-twenties. Today I walked into the gym that I spent years in. It’s had two different owners since I’ve been there and … Continue reading
I can’t believe it’s already been a week since I went to Purpose & Practice. What is P&P? Well, it’s a personal development retreat/yoga + meditation experience/purpose-definining, persona-changing, uplifting weekend of connection. Put on by lululemon, including airfare, food, and accommodations. For free. I’ve been working for lululemon for six years and I am still … Continue reading
I repeated that to myself like a mantra when V was little and cried all the time. The days are long, the years are short. And sure enough, that’s still true. I mentioned yesterday that she’s been feverish and super needy. Today was more of the same. There is nothing longer than a full day … Continue reading
The best laid plans. I had all of these ideas for the blog today, and instead my kid had a 102-degree fever and cried most of the night and definitely cried all of today. C came home around 1:30 and I had to be at work at 3. So here I am, on my ten … Continue reading
The words “Rise up” are following me recently. First, Hamilton, which I fell in love with and saw in May. Then, at Purpose & Practice, a yoga/meditation retreat for lululemon employees that I attended last weekend. On the final day, we talked about rising up and living our purpose, and they played an acoustic song … Continue reading
Hello! In yoga the other day, it came to me that I should blog for 100 days. There are a lot of reasons I am inspired to do this, much of which I’m sure I’ll talk about in the next 100 days! But one of them came from meeting Ben Nemtin the other night. Ben … Continue reading
