March 19- April 1: My kids were on Spring Break so I spent a lot of time with them during half of these weeks! We went to a nearby Holiday Inn that has an awesome indoor pool and arcade and spent the night. We swam, played games, had a pizza party and movie night in the hotel room and the next day swam some more and then drove to Meramec Caverns to do a cave tour. It was really cool! My kids had never been in a cave before and August declared halfway through that he is, "INTO caves." They learned...

When I first started working from home full-time over a decade ago, I wasn't yet a mom. I remember a friend asking me something along the lines of, "So... what do you do all day?" and I took it the wrong way and got offended, as if she'd implied that there's no way I could fill a normal work day with my trivial play time. Truth is, she really just didn't know what all it entails to run a business like this and was asking me an honest question! Things were very different back then, and I probably was a...

March 5-18: We celebrated Sean's Dad's 75th birthday with cake and family. It's been nice out so we've been playing outside with friends as much as we can to enjoy the weather!

Got clear on my business goals for...

February 19- March 4: I've been doing a lot of house projects and admin work lately... not making a whole lot of art other than this journal! Hoping that the next few weeks will be a bit different but in the meantime, here's what's been happening.I got Lasik surgery on my eyes! No more contacts or glasses for me. Best decision ever. I went to a local placed called Brinton Vision and I really had the best experience I could have asked for. Still shocked I can see perfectly when I wake up every morning! Grammy came to visit to hang out...

February 5-18:  I've decided I'm going to go with every two weeks for this moving forward to save myself some time. So it was a busy couple of weeks between doing our taxes, various standard stuff like car wash after snow storms and haircuts, school events, birthday parties, and bodypump classes for me. Read a bunch of books, Nolan had a random sick day after an... event... on the bus ride home one day, and I've been playing around with mixed drinks in our new bar. I took a step back to refocus my annual planning for my business, participated in February's co-working...
