Winter is in Full Force

And I don’t think I’ve ever been so ready for Spring. Maybe it’s the Polar Vortex? Maybe it’s because I have zero snow pants? I’m not sure. But I’m dreaming about warmer weather, lounging on the deck with a book, and dreaming of future children.

That’s right, we’re adopting again. And if you sign up for the Newsletter you can hear allllll about that.

2019 updates have been splashed across our Instagram and Newsletter, but as I’ve neglected this front page I’ll tell you the biggest change—the blog is taking an indefinite hiatus. All the back posts are still listed and can be found (I’ll never delete that glorious content) but I don’t imagine it coming back. For now, stick around to hear the new (and old!) episodes of the podcast, read blog-like essays on the newsletter, and be sure to watch for our upcoming MAGAZINE in March.

I’m so enjoying being back.
