So, I have made no progress on any of the books from last time that I said I was in the middle of reading. Which is vaguely hilarious. And I seem to be in a streak of reading all these self-help type books lately, which isn’t a bad thing, and may in fact have motivated […]

Personal – Taking Advantage of Local Services
There is a strong possibility that this blog post is going to seem obvious to almost everyone who reads it, but I’m thinking there’s a possibility that not everyone knows as much as they think they do about the topic. And today’s topic is…using the publicly available services offered by your municipality! I know, exciting, […]
TV – Shrill (Hulu)
Writing this post, I was about to start with “when you watch as much TV as I do…”, and then I realized that I definitely don’t watch as much TV anymore as I used to. Evenings where previously I might have gone home, made dinner, and then plopped down in front of the TV for […]
Travel – Okinawa, Japan
I’m going to be completely honest when I say that Japan always seemed like more a “dream destination” to me than a place I would realistically visit with children, partly because of the time of the flight, and partly because of the cost to get there. But when I found out that my sister and […]
Recipe – Lemon Honey Olive Oil Muffins
I could write a lot here about these muffins, but is that what you really want? A story about why I chose these particular muffins and the background of what I was feeling at the time? Probably not. You saw the title and you’re like, “Ooh, muffins – put that recipe in my face right […]
Out and About – Mount Vernon
My mother-in-law was recently in town, and I was racking my brains about things we could all together so she could be with the baby, enjoy the outdoor weather, get there by car(s) (since there are enough of us in the family now where with a visitor we don’t all fit in one vehicle), and […]
Restaurant – Kinship
When was the last time I wrote about a restaurant? I’ll give you and myself a moment to think and guess before you go into my tags and find the answer. The answer is not as bad as I had imagined, since I’ve actually written about two restaurants since the baby was born, but it’s […]
Personal – Two Years of Marriage and Some Thoughts
The Boy and I recently celebrated our second wedding anniversary, and our dinner out was pretty great – look for the restaurant review post next week. But as someone who got married and pregnant in quick succession after having the one serious boyfriend for a chunk of time that followed a long long stretch of […]
Travel – Kyoto, Japan
Ok, so I’ve officially been back from Japan for a little while now, and it’s time to start giving you recommendations. First off, our first stop on this trip: Kyoto! It was not my first choice in where to start, but due to a screw up in planning on my part, it was where made […]
Stand By for Transmission
My original plan for today was to get my first Japan travel blog post up. And lol, based on the amount of time I’ve had to write today, the amount of time I’ve had other days, and what my plans are for the rest of the next few days, I don’t think it’s possible to […]
