Hm. I’m not sure how this happened, but apparently it’s Friday. And it’s February. First of all, let’s give a huge hip hip hooray for the end of January! Though some wonderful events happen in January, I am still tripping over myself to get to Spring. On the plus side, I’m already feeling super accomplished [...]

My week after a blog-changing experience like Alt Summit has been strange, to say the least. I expected to bring back tons of energy and go-get’em-ness. Instead I found myself flat on my back with the worst flu of the year. I’m going to blame US Airways. Because I can. But, it has given me [...]

What a month this is going to be! Between Birdie’s birthday, several creative projects, and Alt Summit next week, it’s a beautiful whirlwind of awesomeness. Next week is Alt Summit – next week!!!! – and while I quietly pretend I’m not freaking out a bit over here, I really actually am. Mostly because my once [...]

What’s kept me busy this week? I know I know, if you’re not a blogger, or if you’re a blogger who isn’t going to Alt Summit, the last thing you want to hear about from me is more about Alt Summit. But wow, folks, I’m obsessed over here! There are all these little – and [...]

I don’t usually feel the urgent need for calendars, but I’ve found this year I’m particularly interested. I think it’s because I’m working harder to – gasp – plan ahead! Does that mean I’m growing up? I do know it means I’m working harder to make this blog a business – which involves a more [...]

How are you doing? Have you caved in to the Holiday pressure yet? I think I’m on track, but I had a moment earlier this week where I may have temporarily lost it. The moment when I realized Birdie’s flu and fever meant I was going to lose my one day of full day care. [...]

The temperatures are cooling down, we’ve had our first snow, and I’m ready to drink hot apple cider with an extra dose of cinnamon every single morning. Meanwhile Birdie is helping her school prepare for their annual Harvest Feast, and her first holiday dance recital is only two weeks away! I need to start clearing [...]

I can already feel it. The mad dash of the holiday season. How do I feel it already? Because I’m already behind! This next week my one personal goal is to chill out, stop being so hard on myself and make a concerted effort to enjoy every day from now until December 31st. My work [...]

You might have noticed that next week is Halloween. I’ve been tallying my mom-points for the season and am feeling fairly good at the moment. We did some Halloween DIY, we’ve watched The Great Pumpkin, we’ve chatted about ghosts and monsters, and Birdie picked out an awesome costume theme. The only mom-guilt moment: I kind [...]

Ack! We’re having a school holiday moment of chaos over here. Somehow my day got away from me and I’m about 3 posts behind of my usual schedule! So uh. Yeah. I’m going to go straight to this week’s round about. Because really, enough about me already. Have a great weekend everyone! Round about the [...]

This week flew by in a mass of emotions. There were some low points, and then there was the super high one: I found a ticket to the sold out blog conference Alt Summit in January 2013! I’ve been dying to go, and missed the ticket buying frenzy earlier this summer by mere minutes. The [...]

It’s been an amazing week for the blog – debuting the new layout, and meeting some new contacts full of great collaborative ideas. I can’t wait for what’s coming this holiday season on the blog – and I hope you’ll stick around to see all of it! Plus, at home we’ve been decorating for Halloween [...]

Welcome to your Friday! I don’t know what they put in the water over here this week, but I have had this burst of get-it-done-now vibes that has me burning the midnight oil. I even have the insomnia of great ideas to prove it. Hopefully the fruit of my labors will be evident here on [...]

There are many many things I want do with this blog, and I’m just this week starting to make lists of what those wishlists might look like. Before I go any further I should probably ask you what you would like too: When you stop by Small for Big, what do you hope to see? [...]
