When life hands you lemons. And snow.

I think I might have a bit of PTSD when it comes to snow in Seattle. It’s very hit-or-miss each year as to how much we get – one year, we might see a scant few flakes; the next, several inches for several days at a time, rendering the roads impassable and thus, shutting down [...]

1. What did you do in 2011 that you’d never done before? Outside of raising a 2-year-old and all the things that accompany this oh-so-terrible/terrific age, 2011 felt pretty uneventful compared to past years. I’m not complaining, but I hope 2012 is a bit more exciting. Highlights include: –Zumba –Finally going for a pro bra [...]

Dear Rowan, For weeks leading up to Saturday, your third birthday, you’d been telling everyone who asked that you were “still 2.” “Two-and-a-HALF,” you’d exasperatedly exclaim, as if to really say, “Come on, guys. Get it right.” But this weekend, you finally turned 3. And to borrow a phrase from you, “that’s the truth.” The [...]

Look, so I know that technically Festivus (yes, the made-up holiday from Seinfeld that people really do celebrate) isn’t until the 23rd, but we’ll be embarking on a 15-hour drive (OMG) to California that day, and I’m having a sort of shitty week wherein the only thing that might make me feel better is if [...]

It’s in the cards

As we’ve gotten older and our friends are all married and having kids now, Roth and I have noticed a trend in holiday cards. No one sends family pictures anymore – the holiday card is ALL about the kids. Be it of the adorable or funny persuasion, babies and kids are our muses when it [...]

Thanksgiving came and went – it was a lovely long weekend that included a visit from my mom and far too much eating, as to be expected – and here we are, just weeks away from Christmas. I haven’t done any shopping yet, or ordered holiday cards, or even decided whether or not we’ll throw [...]

I should know better. I should know better not to tempt fate by putting out into the uni(Twitter-)verse my deepest and darkest fears. And yet. You can probably guess what happened next. KERPLUNK. Commence panic and freakout, followed by shame and embarrassment, and ultimately, anger at my own damn self for being so carefree with [...]
The best invitation to a birthday party I have ever received

A few years ago, I posted an e-mail from my friend Gabby on my blog. Her e-mail, which wasn’t intended to become a guest post on my blog, made me laugh so much, I just had to share it with others. If you didn’t read it back then, you should now. Go on, I’ll wait. [...]

- I know it's the top news story in Seattle but I cannot bear to watch coverage of what happened to the Powell boys today. So, so sad.
