I have lived in Oregon for five years, as of yesterday. In that amount of time, I had not gone skiing. In the beginning, it was because I didn’t have the greatest health insurance, and if I broke something, it would be stupid. Later, I realized I was just getting older, and my need for [...]
This is a review of our lovely friend Tammy’s book You Can By Happiness (And It’s Cheap). This book has been out for a few months and I’m sort of late writing this review. But trust me, I do think you should go out and get this book, especially in this season of culturally-enforced consumerist [...]
Our friend Ann sent me an email a few weeks ago and casually asked for my address, saying she had a book to send to the boys. And indeed, we got a package in the mail. I saw the size of the box and I tried not to get too excited that maybe, maybe, there [...]
It’s been eight days since the babies were born. I am still in the hospital. Not because I need to be. I was discharged on Wednesday. But the boys still need to be here. And because I am a breastfeeding mom, I was given the option to stay at the hospital with them. I got [...]
Here’s why. I get emails in my inbox like this, from my sister. “I’m a Duck!” Gah. Just, stop it already. I’m 1000 miles away! I am 1000 miles away from the cutest baby on the planet! But my world is a little brighter, knowing she is here, with her tractor beam of cuteness. Thank [...]
My beautiful sister had a baby this weekend. Elliana. 6lb, 12 oz, 19 1/2″ inches, born Friday April 27 at 11:54am. My parents visited, of course, and they debated on picking up a gift they saw in the hospital gift shop. My dad couldn’t resist. He got a five foot, three inch bear for the [...]
So we are excited about moving back to Portland. We love Portland. But we also love Astoria, and it is bittersweet to wrap up our lives here. Every time I drove back to Astoria after being away, I would take a deep breath, gaze over the ships in the river, the hills of Washington, the [...]
As we’ve discussed, the vast majority of pregnancy books and advice out there in the world is pretty crappy. If you weren’t dumb before reading some of this stuff, you’ll certainly be dumb afterwards. The other day, Dave started reading yet another book on twins. It started out being rather interesting, some historical facts, some [...]
Holy crap, this is going to be ridiculous fun. If you live in Portland, you should come check this out. If you’ve never been to a Stumptown Stories hosted by Doug Kenck-Crispin, you will have your mind blown. And Bill Reagan and Dr. Jeff, both lovely fellows who write gorgeous stories at TriMet Diaries and [...]
One of my rediscovered joys this summer has been making good, and sometimes elaborate food. Not that I ever forgot that I like good food. Dave and I are both pretty skilled in the kitchen, and we’ve always appreciated making nice meals. But this summer, we sort of took it to a new level. Not [...]
