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…

My Week in Pleasantville aka Downer’s Grove | Feel Good Monday 072726
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…
taking flight(s) | Feel Good Friday 070326
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…
Some recs and Sanne squats | Feel Good Friday 060526
Sanne is standing and bobbing and it is the cutest thing in the whole world. When she gets scared or tired, she squats down sooooo slowly pilates instructors everywhere are jealous, and it’s hilarious. She’s cruising and loves laps around our (leather pouf) coffee table. She is the most wonderful baby in the whole world…

Grateful that this trip, we felt like we really lived there. It was incredible, both grounding and expansive, and I was so happy. Great music on the mountain from singer-songwriter Adam Craig after a glass-bottomed gondola ride on the new cable car. Our favorite brunch at MTN Prime. Frothy Cup. Vintage Moose. Mountain Made, Mountain…
Happy Hour | Feel Good Friday 041026
I mean the spread was really GOOD. I made two whipped cheeses (brie and feta) from this book: I’ll Bring the Apps, and did a signature blackberry bramble cocktail alongside wine, beer, and hopwater. Friends, networking people, and new people all came. It was a perfect mix, and the right number of people, and I…
Hey Peggy | Feel Good Friday 031326
HeyPeggy.ai launched today!! She’s the first in what will be a suite of small business marketing agents. We’ve been crunch-timing her all week and it’s super fun to be building. I can’t wait to keep talking about her while bopping around to all the free events in the city. I started my SXSW journey, here’s…
“this is the glute of the face” | Feel Good Friday March 6, 2026
stowing away on ships. i have recently found out that ancestors ON BOTH SIDES OF MY FAMILY came to America by stowing away on a ship. does this explain everything you need to know about myska allen rebelliousness? or is it a story of persecution? or was stowing away on ships just really common back…
Heavy | Feel Good Friday 021326
This Friday the Thirteenth has not, so far, been lucky. But I am forever grateful for my friends. My incredible, supportive, loving, hilarious friends. They are family, and they are simply the best thing I have ever invested time and energy in. This is related to the Super Bowl Ski Trip IX, but also a…
AI, VB, AWM | Feel Good Thursday 020526*
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,…
