My Husband – Gratitude Day 12

Posted on 12 November, 2020 by dilovelyadmin

Tonight I’m feeling grateful for my husband, Sean. He’s an awesome teammate in all these life shenanigans. To be honest, I feel grateful for him basically all the time. I’ve told you before that I’m morbid and I frequently imagine what life would be like if one of my children died – or both –…

A Lovely Anniversary – Gratitude Day 8

Posted on 8 November, 2020 by dilovelyadmin

Today I’m grateful for happy anniversary memories of this day last year – and this whole weekend last year – when my sister Emily married her love. I’m grateful that I got to be there in Seattle (actually nearby Everett) as a witness – facilitated by my now-brother-in-law (thank you! xoxo). And I’m extra-grateful that…

When the status of women gets you down… here’s proof of progress!

Posted on 16 March, 2018 by dilovelyadmin

Hello, women and women-lovers! It’s been 2018 for two-and-a-half months now. Feminism in North America seems to be enjoying an all-time high (#metoo, #timesup) and an all-time low (#POTUSisamisogynistharrasshole) (yep, just coined the term “harrasshole” this moment, you’re welcome) simultaneously. How confusing and invigorating for us all! For those times when you feel like we…

#NaBloPoMo, Day 5: My Hubbibi

Posted on 5 November, 2015 by dilovelyadmin

Whew. Just weathered a Mammoth Meltdown (one of many in the last three years, but this was definitely in the top ten), courtesy of my three-year-old. The better part of an hour of screaming/crying, along with intermittent hitting/kicking. All this – at least initially – because I wouldn’t let her put the cap back on her toothpaste….

One Decade of Marriage

Posted on 6 August, 20156 August, 2015 by dilovelyadmin

Dear Sean, It’s hard to believe that it has been ten whole years since the day we pledged ourselves to each other as husband and wife. A decade sounds long, but feels short these days. On the other hand, ten years is short, in a way, since our story began long before that.   It has been…

8 Unromantic-Sounding Ways I Know Our Marriage Will Last

Posted on 15 February, 201525 September, 2018 by dilovelyadmin

“How’s your relationship these days?” is not a question most of us ever ask people. I’ve probably only ever asked it of newlyweds (where it’s more like “How’s married life?” nudge-nudge) or of very close friends with whom I have a precedent of relationship discussions. It is a bit odd, though. Among parents, there are the constant…

The Ladies of Election Day

Posted on 6 November, 20126 November, 2012 by dilovelyadmin

Here we go, Americans: the Day of Reckoning. I hope you’re on your way to vote – or have already done so. According to the Chicago Tribune, lots of voters wait until Election Day to decide whom their ballot will support. That seems so strange to me, in a country with what is essentially a…
