Happy Wednesday, friends. It's good that I'm doing this because I sincerely need to focus on the positive... I'll leave it at that. Here are some random photos from my hanging-on-by-a-thread phone: Reading material that makes me happy. We found all the pieces! Y0u guys, I feel like I'm in the Twilight Z0ne (Please try … Continue reading What’s Going Well Wednesday — In Photos

In Case You’ve Ever Been Curious About Feline Genitalia…
Wallace: "Mom, are cat balls also called testicles?" Me: "Hmmm...that's a great question, Wal." I'm a pro at buying myself time. "I'm not sure, but I assume they are." For the moment, I'm regretting being so forthcoming with my children about sex and body parts. My goal was to normalize bodies and explain things in … Continue reading In Case You’ve Ever Been Curious About Feline Genitalia…
What’s Going Well Wednesday
It's busy around here, y'all, so this will be brief. The kids and I went to our local water park yesterday around 4, but they closed early due to a problem with their weather detecting system. We were hot and irritable but decided to stop at the nearby playground anyway. I'm glad we did. I … Continue reading What’s Going Well Wednesday
I Dream of Tiny Houses…
And now that dream is coming true. Sort of. Honestly, I'm completely kidding. Gil and I signed a contract on a house in Savannah. It's 1500 square feet but a significant downsize for us. I'm sincerely jazzed. Gil...is a builder. He grew up with a dad who was a builder. He's always been the bigger … Continue reading I Dream of Tiny Houses…

The World According to Piers and Wallace
Happy weekend! I'm fighting a sinus infection and enjoying the opportunity to be utterly unproductive. There is so much I want to write but it's not happening. The pounding head. The pressure in my face. It's beyond distracting. I spent most of yesterday afternoon in bed, counting the minutes until Gil walked through the door … Continue reading The World According to Piers and Wallace
Travel Anxiety and Pontificating on My Marriage
I am a nomad. I live and breathe any and every opportunity to travel the globe and immerse myself in new places and cultures. Traveling is what makes me feel most alive. At least I USED to feel this way. I've been on adventure-travel hiatus since Piers and Wallace came on the scene, though I'm … Continue reading Travel Anxiety and Pontificating on My Marriage
Christmas Makes Me Want to Downsize
I have felt this overzealous need to reduce the amount of stuff in my life for a long time. Maybe forever. I've just never needed a lot of material possessions to be happy. In fact, less for me has always meant more in terms of feeling peaceful and content. But then, I've never been all … Continue reading Christmas Makes Me Want to Downsize
