I’m not a routine person – but I am. I am not a scheduled routine person, but I largely do the same things every day. This is changing. I have realized this both because I have very little routine except around the baby’s rhythms, and because within scheduled routine you gain free time, which I…
Measuring time in Sanne. Posting late/when I can for the same (I also love the number 17, so). It feels like I simply must open this blog with an expression of grief over the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

I get to see my best girls and favorite fam this weekend and I am so excited! We booked a last minute trip to Playa del Carmen for Memorial Day weekend and I am so excited! I gamed out some points so it’s mostly free except an expensive return flight home putting us in San…
