BIG HIGHLIGHTS: Y’all. Sanne is 10 months old. What a joy. Mother’s Day cards from Sanne (right), my aunt, and my in-laws. So thoughtful. Our trip to Kentucky to see friends was AWESOME. It’s such an amazing feeling to just BE with friends, a couple, where all four of us are just happy and at…

Sign up now for dope conversations on UpTrust! UpTrust* is opening to the public this Wednesday February 4th. Please join us online for an epic day…
Every so often I get sick, but not sick sick, just enough to feel puny and keep doing everything like normal but it feels like everything I’m doing is moving through bad free continental breakfast oatmeal. When I’m low energy, low motivation, I just feel off. Today is the first day this week that I…
Regular readers know that FGF has been sporadic at best throughout the past year—not because gratitude is less important by any stretch, but perhaps because I’ve been less chronically online.

About 4 weeks in to paternity leave, my husband took a call from a recruiter. I was home, but he was in charge of the baby while I took a bath or stared aimlessly at my closet or something. The baby started crying, and this man said: “I’m sorry, that’s my newborn crying. I’ll call…
… or is it just a coincidence? I received a Coldwater Creek catalog in the mail this week. I loved this outfit: Does this mean I really am a mom now? Or is the og catalog brand doing new things? Flipping further through, I think I just stumbled on one good page, I am indeed…

To be clear, he does not read this blog. I’m not sure he ever has. But nonetheless we’ve got to mark the milestone birthday for my beloved husband that had us spring skiing, dining in a mine, and celebrating all weekend long with friends in Idaho Springs! I’m pretty sure he felt loved, but I…
