Back in Maui
Funny being here twice in one year. Day 1: Thankful for husband who loads car with luggage and carries Lincoln’s gear. For TSA Pre. For baby who flies really really well. For not feeling disastrous despite less than 4 hours sleep. For learning L slept through the night for first time in weeks. For landing…

My 100th Happy Day
After seeing inspiring posts from Jessica P and Maria B on Facebook, I decided to also take the 100 Happy Days Challenge. Each day I wrote one tweet describing what made happy that day. I’ve done a gratitude journal before but this was fun trying to convey my gratitude in 140 characters or less on…

Fourth of July Weekend
It doesn’t quite feel like summer in Seattle until the fourth of July. This weekend in the 80’s confirmed it. Thursday night kick off after work celebrating Marky’s birthday with beers and Thai food with his family. Friday morning brunch at our house with Zoë and Eric over. Paper shopping and a facial at U-Village.…

Moms Night

Spent dinner outside on their patio. Fire truck sirens equals urban ambiance. But again–we were sitting outside. White wine and tapas.…

My Retroactive To Do List for Saturday

It’s times like these that make me appreciate the retroactive to do list format I picked up from Jenn and Teresa. My list today: 1. Nurse Lincoln. 2. Practice yoga for the first time in weeks. 3. Stretch, plank, and raise…

Stabat Mater
At the Cross her station keeping, stood the mournful Mother weeping, close to her Son to the last. Through her heart, His sorrow sharing, all His bitter anguish bearing, now at length the sword has passed. O how sad and sore distressed was that Mother, highly blest, of the sole-begotten One. Christ above in torment…

A Perfect Sunday Morning
Awaken to the sound of babbling baby, earlier than desired. Take advantage of early wake-up and walk down the Hill with Angie and Ryan (Lincoln in stroller) to the highly-acclaimed Crumble and Flake. Marvel at sunshine in Seattle. File into small bakery and order all the things. Croissants with dark chocolate. Kouign amann, similar to…

Happy Tuesday
I know it’s now spring but it’s still so surreal coming home to sunshine. Lincoln was particularly boisterous and bouncy which was fun. Ryan insisted it was fajitas night and Lincoln’s titas joined us for dinner. They even made a fresh strawberry pie for dessert! Afterward, baby went to bed bathed and fed and I…
