We've chatted about how the child and I ran off for some alone time. We've established Ive not been my usual ... Continue Reading
RAOK: Take What You Need Day!
I stumbled upon this image right before our move to Oakland. Pre-great decluttering of 2012 and post-knowing where we'd soon reside. When I shared the with social media friends I found *great* solace in their sentiment of Your new hometown would totally embrace that!! Ive printed. Ive copied. Ive made nice, messy, cut-marks at the bottom of the papers. (And Ive ... Continue Reading
I got bored.
I was never, ever bored as a child---or so I told my parents. You see, we were raised on the belief only boring people get bored. Anytime I'd grow close to lamenting boredom to one parent or the other Id quickly remembered this fact. I imagined what their cure to my boredom might be. I feared what project or chore they'd offer to lessen my current state of ... Continue Reading
View from the backseat (guest post).
In life, there are no guarantees. No matter how much we set goals, focus, commit, plan, and forge ahead, the detours still happen. It’s about the journey, not the destination is a good metaphor but hard to appreciate, especially traveling in the fast lane. A core belief of mine is the words we use and the meanings we attached to them, guide our path. I start each year with a single word. This ... Continue Reading

Depression is no joke.
It's April Fools day (which to my chagrin the child has discovered. lately everything has included APRIL FOOLS!!! shouted at random intervals), but since we be silly every OTHER day around here Ive skewed serious.

Add a little love to your exercise routine (guest post)
Long determined slogs on the treadmill . . . the stalwart morning warrior up before anyone else . . . is there something wrong with this picture? You bet! Nothing fits better with fitness than family. While sometimes a solitary swim or solo hike soothes the soul, fitness was made to be shared. Since my oldest was in utero, my husband and I have made fitness an integral part of our ... Continue Reading
