My productivity is going to drastically increase once these Olympics are over! I am SO happy because the Husband is home from his vacation. Three days away was about two days too long. He got in very late last night, so we spent the morning catching up on what we’ve all been up to since [...]
I looked forward to this afternoon all week! The women’s Olympic triathlon was held today (at 4 AM; I recorded it), and when I had a free moment, I hopped on my indoor trainer, pressed play, and settled in to watch an amazing race with a literal photo finish. Coolest race course ever! I [...]

When you become a parent, you should totally sprout an extra arm. You need it! The Husband is headed out of town for a friend’s wedding – Henry and I are staying behind. We’re really going to miss him, and my mom is coming into town to provide back-up baby support. I think I could [...]
