10 Personal Policies that Make My Life Simpler

Jan 23 Leave a Comment

Last spring I completed my third Whole 30, and while the first two I did felt super restrictive, this one actually felt freeing. So of course I wondered, Why is that? Before this Whole 30, I hadn’t felt totally in control of my eating habits. I used to be a lot more disciplined about saying no to treats in the middle of the week and saving my indulgences for the weekends. For the past couple of years, though, I’ve struggled to walk by the break room at work without picking up a snack—even a snack I didn’t particularly care for—just because… Read More

Freedom from My Own Expectations

Jan 15 Leave a Comment

Four years ago, I sat on the floor of the first home I had shared with my husband, ruthlessly sorting my collection of classroom materials. In one pile I stacked my most beloved read-aloud books, which I planned to keep for the baby who was growing in my belly. I boxed up the still-usable-but-unneeded resources that I could pass along to other teachers. Finally, I tossed aside the materials that were beyond repair. I had recently switched careers from education to publishing. It was a thrilling and hard-won change after feeling lost and burned out only  a few years into… Read More

Warm holiday wishes to you, whatever and however you celebrated! As I mentioned in last month’s Armchair Chat, my family’s holiday season was truncated with a split down the middle: we started decorating and celebrating the week before Thanksgiving, Dan and I traveled without Selah the second week of December, then we had two-ish weeks of Christmas and New Year’s festivities (see also: no… Read More

Armchair Chats // The Collective Weight of Individual Moments

Dec 6 Leave a Comment

Some of the links in this post are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a small commission if you click through and make a purchase. I try to publish these Armchair Chats during the last week of the month, but I’m still moving at a pretty slow pace thanks to the sweet baby who is zapping my energy. So not only is this post a week late, but it’s actually covering two months because I never got around to writing an update for October. These past two months saw a resolution in morning sickness… Read More

Reframing Everyday Moments as Adventures

Nov 28 Leave a Comment

Thank you Maxi-Cosi for sponsoring this post. Keep your little adventurers comfy, safe & stylish with the Maxi-Cosi Magellan™ Max 5-in-1 Convertible Car Seat! Even though summer is my fourth favorite season, I was determined to make summer 2018 my family’s best one yet. I had grand visions for how these precious months would play out: trips to the lake twice a month, a road trip up to Lake Geneva, lots of trips to the pool. But as I mentioned in a previous post, the summer I envisioned was not quite the summer I got. Between recovering from a miscarriage… Read More

15 Tips for Doing Disney World with a Toddler

Nov 20 Leave a Comment

Disclosure: Some of the links in this post are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a small commission if you click through and make a purchase. It’s been about a month since we returned from our first trip to Disney World as a family, and while it was every bit as exhausting as I expected, it was also just as magical as I expected. I was only slightly worried that a trip to Disney wouldn’t be worth it with such a young child, but I’m happy to report that I would 100% do this… Read More

Light a Match

Nov 15 Leave a Comment

After seeing the news on Facebook about the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, I sank into my living room chair, phone glued to my hand as I scrolled for more information about what had happened and why. My shoulders began to shake under the weight of what had been lost; tears fell as I succumbed to the darkness that seemed to be enveloping our world. This has become a pattern for me lately: feel shattered by a current event, express my outrage and lament over the state of the world, build up a sense of normalcy in the aftermath, watch as that sense… Read More

Gender Reveal + 1st Trimester Update

Nov 7 Leave a Comment

A quick note before we get started: In exchange for sharing my honest opinion, SneakPeek sent me their FastTrack Early Gender DNA Test to try out. Thank you, SneakPeek! Wow, friends! When I announced this pregnancy and crowd-sourced questions on Instagram, you came through with some seriously thoughtful questions! Writing out my answers here has been really helpful to me as I process the events of the last few months, which have felt like such a blur in the midst of recovery, morning sickness, and all-out exhaustion. And in case you’re thinking, Wait, WHAT? allow me to catch you up: I’m 15 weeks pregnant… Read More
