Moving
This week (and pretty much all of the last month) has been dedicated to moving. We are all settling in nicely. It has been an incredible amount of work, but also super rewarding. I feel so fortunate and blessed to be able to say that this place is pretty much a dream home for me. […]
Every family

N things of the week – #15
I have exciting news this week! We have a contract on a house and are planning on moving in two or three weeks!! I love the house and the area that it’s in is gorgeous. And it comes with a playground for the little guy! It is basically my dream home. It’s in the forest […]
N things of the week – #14
The last week has been filled with lots of great stuff for me! Here’s a few of the highlights. Going to the gym (almost) daily I have been going to the gym pretty much every day for the last two weeks. I’d gotten in a slump about it in December because I was sick for […]

As a math major in college, I studied algorithms for programs to solve math problems. The classes were focused on the […]
Super purple moon
It isn’t really called a purple moon. It’s a Super Blood Blue Moon. An event that hasn’t happened since sometime in the 1800’s and won’t happen again until sometime in the 2030’s. I read the exact dates in the newspaper but don’t recall them now. It’s a super moon because the moon is as close […]
12 in 2017 – the year in pictures
2017 has been quite the year! I decided to go through and pick one picture from each month to review the year. It’s crazy to think that on January 10th, baby B was all of 1.7 centimeters tall. Talk about the miracle of life! I only took two pictures in February, which may be a […]
Laws don’t magically solve problems
Too often we want to pass laws to solve problems. If there’s a school shooting, people say, “Let’s make guns illegal”. People that are against abortion say, “Let’s make it illegal.” Whatever the problem (or perceived problem) is, there’s somebody out there pushing for a law against it. I’m certainly not against all laws, but […]
Why I’m Learning to Program

Udacity offers tons of free, high-quality classes on web design, programming, mobile app development, and some other cool things. Many of the classes are collaborations with leading tech companies. They also offer ‘nanodegrees’ in several different areas. They’ve extended the […]
