4 years later

4 years ago my family drove north to check out San Francisco and see what we thought of moving. It was a whirlwind of a weekend. We walked around the city, explored Pier 39, took a tour of Industrial Light & Magic, and looked at countless homes. On May 25, 2014 we looked at the… Read More 4 years later

Re-Entry

29 days. It has been 29 days since we left London. 29 days of being in our home. Lounging on my couch, which is way comfier than our London couch. 29 days of seeing our neighbors and snuggling with the dog. It has been wonderful to be home. Yet, there are parts that have been… Read More Re-Entry

She Persisted

I am so proud of my oldest and her latest essay. I love reading her thoughts and seeing her grow to have her own opinions and ideas about life and about the world. We have had many conversations where she has challenged my long held ideas and caused me to question why I think certain… Read More She Persisted
