A few years ago, J casually said to me, “You know, you should really make your blog more mobile device friendly.” “But that might ruin the design! And you know how hard I worked on it. Besides, less than 1% of my visitors are using a mobile device when they browse on over.” Did I […]
Reverent Sundays: Food for Thought
Welcome to today’s installment of Reverent Sundays, where I write about an aspect of my faith. This can deal with recent books I have read on Christianity, my thoughts on religion and current issues, as well as particular messages I find touching and/or powerful. I am aware that most of my readers are not religious, and […]
Thrush!
Last night, I noticed that Aerin’s tongue was green. 😯 Okay, so it wasn’t that bad. She has always had a white patch on her tongue, which is common in many babies due to their milk/forumla-only diet. But last night, when she happily stuck her tongue out at me during her bath, I noticed that the […]
Cubicleism: Amazing Office Whiteboard Art
At my very first full-time job, I had a huge whiteboard hanging in my cubicle. I used this whiteboard to mostly write reminders for myself and coworkers, but sometimes we would leave messages for each other (à la whiteboards on the doors of college dormrooms), and once in a while they would become spaces for […]
Claire’s First Trip to the Liberty Science Center

My First Night as a Volunteer at the Homeless Shelter
This past Saturday, I left the girls with J and his parents and joined a small group of volunteers from our church to lend our hand at the local homeless shelter. It was tiring. It was heartbreaking. And it was totally worth it. Prior to joining this church, I had never even considered the possibility […]

All 117 Things That Leslie Knope Supports, and Negative Campaign Ads
I did not like the first season of Parks and Recreation. I couldn’t help but think that the show was a major waste of talent and was annoyed at how Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler’s character) was written as a moron who didn’t know when to give up. Now, four seasons in, Parks and Recreation is currently my […]
