I like James May’s title of “Our Man in Japan” way too much for having never watched that show... I don’t consider myself to be much of a globetrotter. I’ve crossed the Atlantic Ocean only once. But very soon, I’ll be crossing the Pacific. It started in earnest with going to Germany with my family …

More Friends and Family are Having Children!
We've gotten a lot of unexpected news that a lot of people we know are expecting! In this past week alone, we learned that three more couples are expecting babies! Two of those pairs are friends who will be first-time parents. One of them is my sister- and brother-in-law, who will be having another child! …

I’m Back!
I forgot to mention: not only did I travel for most of August, I even had a wedding to travel for a couple of weeks ago. So, this time for sure, I really am back! I'll start from to the beginning. We did indeed do the 10-hour drive up to Glacier National Park and headed …
I’m Traveling for the Next Three Weeks!
Three trips in the next three weeks or so! August got really busy in a hurry! First, it's a road trip to Glacier National Park in Montana for camping and hiking, with a little jaunt over the U.S.-Canadian border for fun. Once we're back from that, the very next day, my kids and I fly …
South Carolina
I'm going to try not to make this entire post about traveling with two toddlers and save that for another time -- because there is a lot to say on that topic. So I'm going to skimp on some of those particular details and keep things pretty general in that regard. But man! It's been …
This is a Test
I'm trying a thing, and if you can stand how I sound, then you can listen to me read my own blog posts. Hopefully very soon!
I’m Turning 30
This is it, people. This is the year, and it's my time. I'm now Patrick getting roped by Sandy in that one Spongebob meme. I'm now Joey Tribbiani literally screaming, "Why, God, why?" at the ceiling, surrounded by all of the Friends. I can now play Bo Burnham's "30" on repeat, but only if I'm …
My First Garden
Have you ever tried growing your own food? Have you ever tried growing anything, period? Well, my friends, I hadn't made a serious attempt at an actual garden in my life until this year. And, well, regardless of whether your endeavor ends in success or failure, you learn some pretty good lessons. I thought I'd …
Mother of Two Comin’ Through
I've been meaning to write this since I was 13 weeks pregnant... the first time. A few summers ago, during a road trip through California for our anniversary, my husband and I had a lot to talk about. You find yourself with plenty of time to kill when you’re on an extended trip, especially when …
My Parents’ Divorce
I can’t erase that copy of Divorce For Dummies from my mind. It’s been over 10 years since I saw it for the first and only time. I had just come home from school one day, and that black and yellow cover was impossible to miss. It sat on the kitchen counter next to my …
