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 …

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 …
Happy (Belated) New Year!
It's only a week into 2023! It's fine to post this a little late. So with that, hello and welcome to another year on this planet! I'm happy we're all here. 🙂 I come to you live from underneath our TV stand because that's where my laptop resides during football season. Although using this location …
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 …
Seattle
So this time, I get to flip the script. I’ve written about places I’ve been to before that Kevin had never visited, and now, I can write about the opposite. Kevin’s dad’s family almost entirely resides in Washington. His dad was born and raised there. Kevin can remember the many times that, as kids, he …
The Other Big Move: Fall 2018
"Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" I've been asked this question in almost every job interview I've had, and I'm sure I'm not alone. I've worked on crafting the answer to that question for the past few years. Usually, I've kept it very broad. Sometimes, I've outright responded with "Working for your company". …
8 Airports
Let me tell you the tale of how my husband went through 8 airports in 4 days, and I in 5. It all began last Friday when we took off from our home base, the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. MHT is a small and simple place, with maybe a dozen gates making up a single terminal. …
Our 52 Weeks of Adventure, Part 2
It's Week 26 of 2018, folks! Kevin and I have now done 19 weeks of Outdoor Project's 52 Weeks of Adventure in total. While we're now at the halfway point of the year, we're just under halfway done with the challenge, which isn't bad at all. We've made up a lot of ground; we doubled …
