It’s so random what I remember from my childhood–while I don’t remember some bigger things hardly at all (like the first time I was asked to play the organ in church or my first day of kindergarten), I do remember odd snippets here and there about memories seemingly unconnected to anything important, like wheeling the …
Today, Matt and I celebrate our “Lucky 7” Anniversary (though we won’t be doing much out of the ordinary to celebrate, as we already went out for our anniversary about a week and a half ago). In honor of the day, I thought I’d share 7 little facts about us: 1) We met in high …
If you’re new around these parts, this monthly series is an exercise in brevity as I try (sometimes not very hard) to summarize each day of our month in one sentence. (Also, I’ve been taking a picture of my daughter every day since she was born, and this is a GREAT place for me to …

Last Friday, I got a haircut. Not that anyone will notice, as it was just a trim (she took 3 inches off) and an aggressive thinning out of my super-thick mane.
