The conversations started well before I became pregnant with my son. They came up when people asked me how I felt about pregnancy and about the 4th trimester and about the first year. They came up when one of my friends announced she was pregnant and again when her beautiful baby was born. I was … Continue reading Postpartum Self Care

Happy 1 Month, Frederick C III!
Baby Freddy, how are you 1 month old already? You are the sweetest little boy, content to sleep or silently take in your surroundings when your basic needs are met. In fact, your go-with-the-flow attitude had us fooled into thinking you were getting enough to eat when the scale proved otherwise! Let's get you back … Continue reading Happy 1 Month, Frederick C III!
3+ Weeks Postpartum
I have officially entered the phase of postpartum where I spend equal parts trying to find where I set that thing down and trying to remember what that thing is. Also, I baked today just in case you needed a more direct cry for help. It should also be noted that while searching for ingredients, … Continue reading 3+ Weeks Postpartum
Interview with Freddy Jr.
Freddy Jr. (aka "husband" / aka "dad") has been unanimously voted the family MVP today. The votes were cast after reviewing the past three weeks of family events, culminating with today's impromptu nap with the kids. This act allowed Freddy's wife to nap by herself without interruption and ultimately sealed the vote. Let's hear what … Continue reading Interview with Freddy Jr.
An Overnight Work Trip and Two Kids
It's official. I have kids. Plural. I don't exactly know what I expected but so far having two kids looks like my husband doing all the things.

In general, … Continue reading The Software Conference from a Woman

The path to Motherhood is wide! And it can sometimes be pretty painful. We've been doing a ton as a society to encourage mothers lately and each Mother's Day I see more and more posts acknowledging the longing to-be mothers, the lost mothers, and the motherless.

Technological Clutter: Time to Purge
Yesterday, I spent my entire day going through the garage with my husband as a continuation of the #ruthlessdeclutterchallenge we started weeks ago. It was supposed to be a week-long declutter challenge hosted by Emily Ley that would encompass the whole house but 1) I work outside of the house 4 days of the week … Continue reading Technological Clutter: Time to Purge
Currently Reading: Bandersnatch
Well, to be truthful, I've just finished the book. I had to wait until the very end to write this because it stretched me and I needed to know where it finished. The title alone tells you that this book falls wildly outside of the ordinary. The author manifests a purposefully unconventional approach to Christianity … Continue reading Currently Reading: Bandersnatch
