    Recapping 2019

    I was going to skip my yearly recap this time, until I saw this thread and remembered how much I liked doing them. I was going to skip it because I feel like I’ve accomplished very little this year. I half-joked on Instagram that one of my only accomplishments was getting my engagement ring fixed…

    Married to Amazement

    Mary Oliver died yesterday. I’m not sure that I have anything particularly grand to say about her that hasn’t already been said. I’m not sure if he did this, but I asked Chad to pack Dream Work in our hospital bag. Sometimes when I’m particularly miserable he reads me poetry and I thought it might…

    7/14/17 || It’s a good week

    It’s the weekend! To celebrate that, and my tentative (semi-regular?) return to this space, here’s good things from this week. I’ve written before about the desire to be untethered, but also rooted deeply in a place. This appeals to the former, and brings attention to nomad women, rather than the usual tech bros in Bali…

    We had people over the other night. We grilled hamburgers from my parents’ farm, and melted cheese on them. Cooper sharp. It’s the best. Chad grilled some squash and made a salad. I made dessert, which we didn’t end up eating. So now my house is full of dessert, which I don’t mind at all.…
