Friends, we got the house. WE GOT THE HOUSE. We are freaking and geeking over here, big time. It’s perfect for us. Can’t wait to tell you all about it. And now we can move on to properly obsessing about furniture placement, all the ways we can make it our...

(XO letters made by my dad. My mom sells them in her etsy shop for those of you who are interested!) We fell in love with a house. A bigger house, but still charming, still in a historic neighborhood super close to where we live now. We put an offer on it, and...

Been thinking a lot about what my word for 2014 will be. This year’s word has been unleash. I wrote about declaring it as such here and it’s actually been a really great word for me this year – lots of unleashing myself from untrue stories I...

(I’ve always loved this one.) People are surprised when I tell them that just about every week, sometimes several times a week I get nasty, mean-spirited comments that come through my email, my Facebook page, my blog. Ever since I made the decision to step into...

I’ve written this post in my head countless times. I kept waiting to get to the other side of this particular struggle before I shared. And then the other side never came, even with lots of effort. I often wondered if I’d ever get to the other side at all....

Dear Life….available here Today is my birthday. I’m 37 years young. Since having True, we’ve been getting all our life business in order. Living wills. Last will and testaments. Durable power of attorneys. As I was completing the last part of my will...

True, 18 months today! He is often described as relaxed, good eater, even better sleeper, and hilarious. Love this kid. I was thinking the other day that it’s been many many MANY years since I’ve had an everyday life that revolved around family. I left for...

I created a little satellite office for myself up in a small nook in our attic master bedroom. I still mainly work in my closet office, but I like to chase the sun when I’m working, moving here and there from one little space to the next. This desk came from my...

Teetering on the edge of burnout, my instincts are telling me to stop everything I’m doing and build in space and time for piddling around the house. I love piddling. I find it extremely relaxing, creative, and energizing. I love rearranging furniture, creating...

True and I were on a walk today and came across a poetry post in someone’s front yard. These poetry posts are all over Portland, by the way. It’s such an awesome concept. You can read/see more about them here, here and here. I so want one – someday....

I made a big error the other day. Like big, big. Like booking a trip during a week that I’m supposed to be somewhere else for work, somewhere where other people were depending on me to be there. The funny thing is is that I overbooked the first obligation with...
