I’ll definitely be the first to admit that my instincts often lean toward helicopter parenting. Being someone that grew up with anxiety and always calculating risk, it’s natural to continue to do that with your own children. Alex was adventurous, but always had a good sense of caution for the most part. She would enjoy... Continue Reading →
I’m 2 months away from being 1 year into the best fitness journey of my life. I’ve stopped and started so many different types of exercise throughout my life.

I’ve had a few people reach out to me asking about BeachBody, what I like about it and how it’s working for me. I want to start by saying that I don’t get any sort of discount if others sign up and I’m certainly not bragging it up for any sort of perks, I promise!... Continue Reading →

After Brianna’s passing I took a short leave from work. I’ll never forget my first few days back. It was awkward… people had no idea what to say to me and more than anything I didn’t want to talk about it. I was certainly in a place where I just wanted to ignore everything that...

I started my parental leave from Automattic back in February. I was nervous, excited, anxious... lots of emotions. I didn't know if I would keep busy enough, I was worried I wouldn't have enough interactions with people above the age of 2 and I wasn't sure how to "best" use my time. It didn't take...
