This morning was the most fun chaos possible: I watched the 5-year-old, 3-year-old, and my baby for two hours. They were hilarious, action-packed, chaotic hours that felt very long. But very, very fun. Sanne can reach the random items on the bottom shelf of the pantry, so she carries around this ancient box of gel…
I wrote this Friday: I have Hand Foot and Mouth Disease (which is a virus not a disease). Most adults do not get this. Most daycare children do. Sanne and I flip-flopped that: I got it, she did not. It feels like you are walking on hot glass, you can barely drink and certainly not…
And quiet not just because I’ve been sick since I posted about my good health—it was only a temporary return, apparently—and flying with whatever I had has rendered me unable to hear appropriately out of first my right ear, then my left, and now both are at about 50%. It’s stupid. We went to northern…
I keep missing my self-imposed deadlines. This was written on Thursday: We’re headed to Idaho Springs for Rapidgrass this weekend on top of the mountain, and it’s gonna be awesome. Even if it’s raining, which it might be. I’m excited to get out of the heat. The last couple weeks of summer were really intense…
Sanne and I spent the last week “in Chicago” with one of my best friends, a mama to two boys, who actually lives in a very sweet suburb of Chicago that is basically a dreamland of boys biking to each others’ houses, mamas texting, and driveway drinks. The parents are all lovely and amazing, the…
BIG BIG THINGS in my world I am grateful for: I cannot believe Sanne is one! She has the best papa. And mama 😉 And cousins/fam! This is art from one of her cousins made just for her birthday. We had a pool party at a friend’s house, and it was just perfect. Pool, people,…
I’m grateful to be able to share my new mini podcast is live! Also on Apple podcasts. Others forthcoming. It wasn’t really my intention to launch today, but it also wasn’t really not … Fridays aren’t great for content, but I’m impatient and there’s little to no expectation that this show perform off the jump,…
We’re heading to Bend to see my MCT!! I miss them so much all the time and cannot wait for several fun-filled days together! I flew last-minute to Colorado 🙂 How lucky am I that my Twin happened to have the day off, and could come up to the cabin and clean and stage our…
I had so much fun being the CMO Alliance emcee! I am good at this! I will post a recap on LinkedIn on Monday because apparently posting on Friday is BAD if you want engagement. Unlike feeling GOOD which is a must for Friday! How does one charge for emcee services?? Anyway, other things I…
It’s a bold move to title a post Funny. I’m in a funny mood. I’m amped—it feels like there’s more motion and activity in my job search/work search than ever. It feels like there’s motion in podcasting and h.e.n.r.y. and emceeing and all sorts of Brand Lyssa things (barf). I’m happy—I got to attend the…
