Did I mention that this one got a job? He’s slinging subs at Snarf’s, Boulder’s most beloved sandwich shop. I must say, it is the perfect job for a teen at $20/hour, a shift meal of whatever he wants, and a 50-percent discount at all their locations. It makes it a little harder to connect […]

I miss entertaining. It was such a big part of both my marriages and with the dissolution of them, so went the parties. But I am rebuilding. My sweetheart’s birthday was this weekend and for the third time I have thrown him a party. I’n not gonna lie, the first one was kind of a […]
I was super tired yesterday. Perhaps it was the lingering effects of the bivalent Covid booster and flu shot combo, but the net of it was that I hauled myself and the dogs to my loft at 6pm and was fast asleep not long after. I love our drives. We do them every Sunday and […]

Last day of my trip to Oregon with my kids and our day at the Country Fair. I am so happy I did this trip, it has been effortless (thanks to Lauren) and we got to connect deeply with each other and the cousins. I feel complete, satisfied, and really excited to hurry back home […]

We packed up and left our place in Florence to head back to Eugene, but not before checking out some antique markets and rock shops first. The guys were into finding vintage lighters and decorative knives. The knife thing isn’t as alarming as it may seem. Casey is super into camping gear as well as […]
We had the most wonderful day exploring the coast; we started at a tide pool with ample muscle beds. Tide pools are the most magical thing on the planet for me and I loved probing them with my boys. We continued up the coast to Yachats for a superb lunch and gentle browsing of tchotchke […]
Day 3 of my trip to Oregon with my boys. Casey decided to try sleeping in the hammock last night and it started raining after he fell asleep. He retreated to my bed in the middle of the night and I woke up with him next to me. I got up early and did yoga […]
Day two in Eugene. I am loving the slow and unhurried pace, that feeling of absolute comfort being surrounded by my family. I am brought back to the days at Marcia’s where we concerned ourselves with simple things … what to cook for dinner, what small thing needed mending or improving, reliving our mutual escapades […]
