Yesterday morning, I ran around our condo trying to remember what one wears for a December 5k in New England. I haven’t run much at all since starting physical therapy in September, and haven’t run in the cold since last November. Totally off my game. I couldn’t…

Today: An afternoon in the pumpkin patch.
Reasons why I am the least enjoyable person to be around this time of year (an abbreviated list): The only pumpkin-flavored things I like are pumpkins. I don’t want my coffee to taste like a gourd. I want it to taste like coffee. Same goes…

Today: My first Labor Day.
We’re heading into Labor Day Weekend, so why not talk about having a baby? (I couldn’t resist.) I know the holiday is technically a tribute to the American workforce (and feels mostly like a symbolic end to summer), but it’s nearly impossible for me to hear…

Today: Summer Bucket List and some sweet shades.
Let’s start with a question: Where did the expression bucket list come from? (Please pause while I Google…) Hmm. Not a fruitful search. Ohhhhh….. it must have something to do with kicking the bucket, and like… things you want to do before that fateful day. One thing…

Today: 100 days of Grace.
It’s been exactly 100 days since Grace was born. There are moments when it feels like she has just arrived, and others when I can’t believe she hasn’t been with us all along. Maybe it’s the sleep deprivation, but there are times when I cannot imagine life…
