Life keeps barreling forward. How are we at May? Is working at Google even a job? Fully stocked fridges, ping pong, a music room, relaxation rooms, a giant gym, an arcade, meals, nap pods, etc. The perks are real. Rusty FINALLY got to go to Mountain View and meet his team in person! 21 months…
Fun in the last big snow of the season. I went out walking in the freezing cold just to escape the house for a little while. It was really beautiful with all the trees weighed down with snow. We had a very special conference where we got to do the Hosanna Shout to commemorate 200…

As always, it was an excellent Mother’s Day! And it snowed for the 2nd year in a row! I love this day to reflect on my feelings about being a mother. It certainly has its ups and downs, but I wouldn’t trade those tiny humans for anything in the world. They are my joy and…
This Mother’s Day was one for the books. Probably the best Mother’s Day ever. I loved every moment of it. When I was a young mommy with tiny kids, all I wanted for Mother’s Day was a break. A day off, far, far away from any tiny humans. As I get older, and as my…
Top 5 reasons I love being a Mom: 1. Never in my life have I been greeted with such enthusiasm as when my kiddos pounce on me in my bed in the morning. 2. I have to opportunity to develop talents that I never knew I had or needed, like scrubbing vomit out of carpet,…
Rusty: I wanted to make my wife something Italian for Mother’s day. I found a great recipe on a random blog (everything I need to know I learned from blogs), copied it down, then headed upstairs to put the kids to bed. Afterwards I ran out the door, and of course I forgot the recipe. I…
