That flexibility goes so far! It sounds like you have created a great situation where you do work that is fulfilling but have the flexibility to that your job is not running your life. I love how intentional that is and that you have the awareness of how important it is to you to really enjoy your work. Thank you so much for reading!
A giant post about being an at-home parent after being a full-time working mom
A question I'm often asked is how the transition has been from being a full-time working mom to being an at-home parent. As I started to write this post I realized I have a lot to say. I thought about breaking this up into a few posts but instead I'm going to leave it as one giant post so all...
Yes so true on the fulfillment changing over time! I think that is so important to be aware of. I really loved my job for quite a while and then found it less fulfilling which felt confusing. But stepping back there were several reasons including not feeling a lot of upward career trajectory, feeling stalled in my earnings plus feeling more fulfilled by podcasting/writing. So many factors! If any of those had been different, or other things like a shorter commute or more flexible work hours I could have stayed happy working outside the home. Thanks for reading!

That really makes sense as it does seem to be my female friends who are affected by clutter but yes argh! that we bear that burden. Super interesting though – thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Meghan! A few people have recommended period underwear and I'm intrigued. I really had written them off, it just seemed like such a weird product, but so many friends and internet friends recommend them!

Thanks so much, Jessica! ToDoist is so handy. I feel like I'm still a very newbie user but I will put a post about it on my list of posts to write!
Current calendar management
Planning and organization are dear to my heart. I like talking about my own systems and I like hearing about other people's. If you feel the same then I have two fun things for you: this post, which is all about my current calendaring system, and this week's episode of the planning podcast Be...
Thank you so much, Diana!
One year of Maeve
Happy FIRST birthday to our Maeve! We met her one year ago today. After waiting and waiting ten days past her due date, Maeve arrived in a speedy but peaceful birth. Outside the birth center a global pandemic was gripping the world but I felt cocooned in love and calm that morning. The fi...

The right childcare situation is so important! It does seem like adding a third kid and with two working parents could be a tipping point where a babysitter or nanny can really makes sense financially and then goes so far helping logistically. I'm so glad you've found a solution that is working for your family!

Hi Kristen - shoot I can't remember but let me text our painter to ask what he remembers!
Then/Now
Chris was one of the first people I know to start wearing a mask – kudos, Chris! / Remember the chalk art season of the pandemic? / Getting vaccinated! Then I had a mounting sense of unease as rising cases of COVID-19 caused the NBA to suspend its season, as professional conferences were can...
