We head off on Super Bowl Ski Weekend IX tonight! There is no way to adequately express how grateful I am for this group of incredible humans, who have gathered together for almost a decade to ski, watch football, and laugh more than anyone ever thought possible. This week has been intense on all fronts,…
My brother has been working for two years on building a better social media site that facilitates civilizational well-being, and the site is officially launching to the public next week! I’m helping. 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. So I think it’s time we move to FGD: Feel Good Day. Whatever day I post. I will still aim for Fridays, but this is…
I wanted to paint the feeling of letting go But when you have a baby, nothing goes according to plan and that’s part of letting go so I asked AI to do it … … and I don’t like it. Which helped me understand that the word of the year isn’t actually letting go (it’s…
… when you’re a stay at home mom not by choice 😉 This “deadweek” feels like my regular life. Because time doesn’t exist, nor do calories. But I am grateful for the time with my baby girl. She is the best thing in the entire world. The cutest, the funniest, the biggest personality, all at…
I love to make healthy-ish cookies (like this long-running recipe), but I rarely take the time. This holiday season I’ve been feeling the fever—we did holiday cards, for, er, Christ’s sake (also because when you have a baby you sign some sort of cosmic Christmas contract that compels you to send Christmas cards even if…
The days are short, the evenings are long. Wait—that’s not the phrase?! But that’s how I feel with a baby … there’s just never enough time to get everything done, and she’s the most important thing, so I just hang out with her and let the rest fall by the wayside. Including my gratitude lists…
There are only a few stories of me being purposefully spiteful. Buckle in: We’re on a girls trip in oh-ten. We’ve skied all day (I yard-saled, but that is quite literally another post), have opened the wine and ordered the food, settling in to enjoy a cozy night in our friend’s parents’ condo in Portland.…
It feels like every year, Black Friday and Cyber Monday blend into each other … and this year, they’re earlier than ever. One blogger called last week Pre-Game Friday. Are the deals now really as good as they will be on the Friday after Thanksgiving? Who knows. Is there a quieter/less spend-spend-spendy way to BF/CM?…
