When you wake up from a nap and see your daughter has left you a healthy snack consisting of…a fruit roll-up and a Werther’s candy. 🙂
I’ve hinted at it in a couple recent posts but, with one month exactly until our departure date, I’m happy to say that we’ve decided to go back to Mexico again this winter! It was obviously a lot more touch & go with that whole “buying a new house” thing this year and up until […]
Considering I barely passed Geology 101 with a 51% to get my undergrad science credit (whew!), I spend a lot of time these days thinking about dinosaurs, geologic time, and the makeup of our planet. I know we’re hardwired for it as a species but I also think a lot about how all humans (hi!) […]
