I’m not sure for how long you have to be a writer in order to sensibly take a break from writing. I’m pretty sure it’s longer than I’ve had this blog, but take a break I did for most of the summer. I was still writing in other places like Richardson Living Magazine and Grown… Continue reading Weekend Reads and Listens – Return Edition
Earlier this week, my twins went to their two-year doctor appointment on the same day we had our monthly splurge — a deep cleaning of the house from a professional. Everyone and everything was healthy and clean. It’s a wonderful feeling, isn’t it? The next day, my husband and one of the boys woke up… Continue reading Weekend Reads and Listens: Podcast Love
I had planned to craft this post last week when I was in Washington D.C. co-leading a group of 22 college sophomores around our nation’s capital.

Only certain people are afforded the comfort of trusting the police and the most effective political campaign strategy seems to be to see how many… Continue reading Weekend Reads And Listens: When The World Sucks Edition
Greetings from Chicago! I’m attending a work conference in this vibrant city that I was lucky to call home for four years during college (yes, my university was in a suburb, but still claiming it). Man, do I love a good conference. It includes so many things I value and appreciate: professional development, idea exchanges,… Continue reading Weekend Reads and Listens: Conference Edition

At this point in my life with young kids, gone are the hours to unwind… Continue reading Weekend Reads And Listens
