Work-Life Balance Interview: Meg Appleby

Last July, as I was working figuring out how to better balance my life, I started interviewing other people who seemed like they have it all together.  I always had the intent of sharing these interviews with you, so I recorded them for bot[...]

The Work/Life Balance Project

I'm writing this post as we drive down the highway in the middle of Tennessee. We're headed back home from a visit to my mom's house outside Detroit.  This would seem like a normal Christmas voyage, except two things are different: "hom[...]

On May 9th, I gave birth to our third daughter, Adelaide, while running on just an hour of sleep, following a 10 hour work day into the wee hours of the morning.  Adelaide was born at noon; I rested, ate food, worked to get our breastfeedin[...]

If You’re Serious About Business, You Have To Put Your Kids in Daycare

Friday, on my Facebook Page, I shared this video of Professor Robert Kelly being interviewed by the BBC, and having his children walk into the room: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mh4f9AYRCZY It's quite the funny little moment (although p[...]

Adventuring into a New Year – Wordlessly

Today, Zara turned three.  That means it has been almost three years since we moved off Nantucket.  It means that we have now lived off island post Nantucket for the same amount of time that we called ourselves Nantucketers.  Eve[...]

Torn: Stay at Home Mom, Working Mom, and Everything In-Between

Tuesday has become one of my favorite days of the week.  We get up, I pack lunches for not one but two little girls, then I drop them both off at their respective schools and return to a quiet house where I have six blissful hours wit[...]

Divided Attention Is Better Than No Attention

There was a post on Motherlode last week arguing that we should give kids our undivided attention or none at all.  The author called for parents to  eliminate the "vast middle ground of half paying attention to them all the time — e.g., chec[...]

I remember when she used to pretend to work on websites on a leapfrog play computer because that's what she heard me talking about. And now she has her own real computer and is super into writing - she even started a blog. 😭 They grow up way too fast.

I'm officially a dance mom. 💃

This whole competition thing is not something I did as a kid so it feels pretty foreign, but Nora is super into it and I couldn't be more proud of her. Last weekend was her first competition and because of COVID audience restrictions Chris brought her and I watched on the livestream. This weekend Vivienne and I brought her. I can't wait to see her on that stage. 🤩🤩

Bath time with ambiance a la #ERCOT. 

Luckily we have not been affected by the water issues so many others have experienced. I finally decided to bathe the little girls for the first time in over a week (with a tiny amount of water, I promise) and the power went out again. We got out a lantern and decided to just roll with it. At least it's not below 30 anymore and I managed to get the diapers washed earlier today when we thought things were back to normal.

Maybe this is the universe's way of making sure I don't stay up until 2AM working?

#snowpocalypse and poor planning on the part of the Texas Electric grid means we're experiencing a candle lit evening. So far every one is still having fun and it's not too cold in here yet so we're calling it an adventure.
