The Baby is in the hospital again. There will be lots of people who will be mad that they’re finding out again this way, but it has been a terrible, busy time and so I’ve been spotty with communication. On Friday, I took him to meet a new doctor and the doctor performed the medical … Continue reading

The Secret to My Athletic Prowess
(If you just received a blog email update with a picture of baby legs and the word, “WHY?” in your inbox, you don’t need to read any further. You got the gist of it. That, and I don’t know how to use the WordPress App.) I haven’t gone running in about eight months, since The … Continue reading
DIY or Die: Vertical Garden
(Sidenote: Not attempting this DIY project will not actually result in death. You will still live, even if you don’t do it) So, I have a Pinterest account, but I mostly just use it to store links.

I had a meeting a few weeks ago with my executive director (the big enchilada at our non-profit). It was about my office space at our satellite campus, where I just spend … Continue reading

Dear Sabrina
Hi there, Cheerbrina- I first met you and your mom when you were a fuzzy-headed, anime-loving, Bratz-doll-playing about-to-be-6th-grader (Note to readers: The dolls she is holding are not Bratz dolls. Those were dolls that she received at a White Elephant Christmas party that will haunt her nightmares forever.) I loved hanging out with you because, … Continue reading
