Ending the Holiday Hiatus

Like so many of you, I decided to take some much needed time away from work in the past couple of weeks. For me, that included a brief hiatus from posting on this site. Strangely, despite only being at this for a couple of months, taking a break from blogging was surprisingly difficult. I’ve neverContinue reading “Ending the Holiday Hiatus”

The Holidays and Resting Differently in 2020

If you’ve been checking in each Thursday while I write about Political Action Plans, you’re probably expecting me to hit on the next of our 4 Ts, Timing. Well, gotcha! I absolutely will be doing a post on Timing and continuing this series in a couple of weeks. But I’m pretty sure that you, likeContinue reading “The Holidays and Resting Differently in 2020”

The Browns and the Bookshelf

A few weeks ago, I launched a new page on this site called the Bookshelf – an evolving reading list of sorts that I’ve promised to update periodically with pieces that may appeal to those checking in on this community regularly.

She stays up late, wakes at least once per night, and still gets up early every day. I have a running theory that she’s stashed away her very own Keurig in aContinue reading “Yeah, we’re already doing Christmas”

BONUS Post: National Daughters Day

I didn’t even realize it was today, but Happy National Daughters Day to my one and only, Lennon Grace. She makes every day just that much brighter. During COVID, I’ve been grabbing shots of L when I can and keeping a loose picture diary of the experience. We’ve had loads of laughs getting these shotsContinue reading “BONUS Post: National Daughters Day”

Parenting in a Pandemic, Still

I don’t know about you, but I’m kind of burnt out on politics this week. So, I thought we could chat about something else today. Please, do pardon the digression. I think by now, most of us have seen about every meme created aiming to capture the insanity of parenting during a pandemic. It seemsContinue reading “Parenting in a Pandemic, Still”
