(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 almost never just peruse it to see what’s out there. Generally, DIY projects tend to stress me … Continue reading
Homecoming
Pro-Tip: This picture of a happy family, royal or not, cannot be real. Somebody photoshopped that picture. I’ll bet you a million dollars. Our Baby is home. Alleluia. When you have a baby in the NICU who is coming home on oxygen and a monitor and an entire pharmacy of medications, before you leave, you do … Continue reading

Thirty, Turdy, and Thriving
I don’t really like descriptive words that end in “y”, so I would never use the word ‘flirty’ to describe myself.

Welderbeth Gets an Office
(I wrote this last year but it never got posted last so I’m now sharing the saga and subsequent rescue out of the closet office.) 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
2014: A Year in Review
Well. Wow. Goodbye, 2014. What a year you have been. You will forever go down in history as the year I became a mother to a tiny tornado, a kid that never stops, the sweetest, funniest, most charming boy I’ve ever met. (Also…sassy). If I had to pick a theme for this year, I think … Continue reading
Great Wolf Lodge: A Suggestion
Dearest Great Wolf Lodge, We had the grand opportunity to visit your fine establishment this weekend with our son, at the behest of my parents who bequeathed unto us an early Christmas present. After spending some time at your hotel, might I suggest the following be posted at all entrances? WARNING, All Ye Who Enter … Continue reading
