The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]

This weekend was a whirlwind. I spent most of it riding in a car keeping my 23-month-old Passenger Princess equipped with sticker books and snacks. But I did see a few things worth sharing. Here are the goods. Have you watched The Bear?  I haven’t started the new season, but after three years working in […]

This weekend was spent in a hectic frenzy. Gone the previous two weekends for work, and leaving to visit family this week, I did nothing but laundry, cleaning, and trying to keep Sloane from harming herself due to her new fixation on pulling things down from high shelves. #toddlerlife But, yesterday, for 45-minutes, I did […]

This weekend, I traveled out of state for work. My second work trip in two weeks. The thrill of being able to do whatever I choose without worrying about my daughter, my dogs, or my husband is kind of nice. But I miss Sloane so much, that I really can’t wait to get home. This […]

My second apartment building where I bounced from unit-to-unit as my salary rose and I was finally able […]

Last week was the week when all the spinning plates hit the ground…again. And now, toiling under the dual tyranny of a bad cold and a toddler who has decided that eating dinner is optional, I am trying to pick up all of the shards before leaving for D.C. on Saturday. I think I’d rather […]

This morning, I woke with the realization that my birthday is just over two weeks away. This year has snuck up on me. I feel like I blinked in February and magically transported myself to May like Samantha on Bewitched. So let’s recap my weekend.

This weekend was a tricky one. The warm weather and bright sunshine of last weekend disappeared in a flurry of wet snow trapping our very active 18-month-old in the house with us. Plus, our babysitter cancelled, so neither of us feels ready for the week ahead. But in between making mac-and-cheese and watching Aristocats for […]

January seemed to last forever. February will likely fly by. But my life is in transition, and I’ve decided to focus my energy on building for spring. As a result my window shopping is looking toward the future.
