Hello again, after a long hiatus from the blog! Just two posts ago, I shared a tour of the Victorian house we rented from 2018 to the start of 2022, and now it’s time to introduce our new home as first-time owners. That’s right, we bought a house! (Nearly two years ago.) Here she is! … More Meet our new home! (that we’ve lived in for over a year)
Things have been a little quiet around here, but that’s because we’ve been keeping a secret… We’re having a baby! Little bean is due early May 2020, and we’re so excited/nervous to make the leap into parenthood. In the meantime, I’ve been slowly ticking projects off the very long to-do list, and plan to share … More The Next Adventure
I am the kind of person that jumps without thinking. Saying “Yes, let’s do it!” is the easy part, and then later, when it is too late, it dawns on me that maybe this is scary. Maybe I’m not ready for this. Maybe I should have thought it through first. That’s where I’m at right now. … More The Times They Are A-Changin’

It’s been six months since Andrew and I hopped across the pond to live in the UK. You could say I’ve had this six-month mark on my mental calendar since the day we arrived in London. I knew the first few months would be difficult. For starters, we had to find a place to live, … More Moving: Expectations vs. Reality
Few pleasures, for the true reader, rival the pleasure of browsing unhurriedly among books: old books, new books, library books, other people’s books, one’s own books – it does not matter whose or where. Simply to be among books, glancing at one here, reading a page from one over there, enjoying them all as objects to … More Pleasure Reading
2013 was a pretty exciting year for me: I graduated college, survived a summer of unemployment, got a job (finally), completed my first semester of grad school, got engaged… For most of my life I’ve anticipated reaching these milestones, and now I have. Don’t let me deceive you into thinking I had everything together this … More An *Overdue* Year In Review
