One thing that has been on my list since we moved to San Diego: I wanted some nice photos of the three of us (aka me, David, Gert) in our new city! In other words, I wanted some photos of us that I...

One of my favorite part of long flights is being able to catch up on movies (thank you Delta for having an incredible array of in-flight entertainment options): I like to watch a mix of new releases...

One of my pet peeves is when people (ESPECIALLY politicians) send prayers after a mass shooting: truly, any mention of #prayfor[insert tragedy here] infuriates me. Prayers do not bring people back...

We’ve been making lots of house progress this week, which has been very fun to see. The main project: we got rid of the giant concrete circle in the front yard and the concrete RV parking in the...

I popped up to Seattle for work this week, and it was such a delight to truly experience fall. I’m definitely not trading my year-round 70-degree sunshine for anything, but I did enjoy a few days of...

Did you see the New York Times’ #ThisIs18 feature on 18-year-old women around the world? I thought it was so enthralling and eye-opening to the vastly different experiences of young women around the...

To be honest, I barely know what time zone I am in, I miss my own bed so much, and I did very little other than work and travel this week. After spending last weekend enjoying some absolutely perfect...

At the time this blog post goes live, I’ll be in Japan! This is probably the most nervous, excited and overwhelmed I’ve been for a trip in a looooong time. I usually don’t do too much trip research or...

It was another crazy week of work travel for me (up to Los Angeles for the day, and then up to San Jose the next day!), and I’m really hoping to take advantage of the long weekend at home to get on top...
