I’ve shared little bits about what we’ve been working on and how we’ve managed to marry work and play. Today as Sean is away, the big girls are at school readying things for a holiday party and Finley is at Nana’s, no doubt playing family with elves, bears and kittens. Our tree twinkles at home and the [...]

When I was a teenager in Yakima, Washington one of my responsibilities was stacking the cords of applewood we would get for our fireplace. My motivation to stack it was threefold: First—the wood was delivered and dumped in my parking spot. Second—I loved a fire when I watched movies, which was all the time (VHS FTW) Third—Even though [...]

Sean said he wanted a blog entry over at Trampoline about what coffee we all drink, or, more importantly, where do we get it and why. He sent out an email to everyone in the office: Blog post idea: (Designtramp) We all drink different coffee. Make the case for yours: what are the reasons you make your purchase decisions [...]

This is a bit off the beaten path as far as my writing usually goes here. I suppose it’s part guilt, part foreshadowing and a touch of focus-deficit. We moved. Kindergarten is over. Soldiers are dying. Young. I have this beautiful life with three daughters, a loving husband and ripples of family and friends that surround us. It [...]

I am still reeling a bit from the news.

Angry. “Did they listen down the hall?” “Did they [...]

Sean can tell the story better, but as he doggedly pursued me in the summer of ‘99, taut abs rippling beneath a worn, white t-shirt, I spat something to the effect of, “Why don’t you go find yourself another crush, an apprentice or something.” At the Williamstown Theatre Festival many of the apprentices were indeed [...]

A while back I wrote a post that prompted someone to write to me about a site called Grace in Small Things. She said that based on my post, it might be something I’d like to be a part of— a place where the focus stays on the things we can be grateful for, the [...]

I have been admittedly MIA. Sorry. I’ve been busy…flubbing my lines. As an apology, I give you, the SaraBear Company outtakes*. Created amidst much chortling and guffawing by none other than my Sean.

*Title is a play on words, props to the ladies at BabyLegs, Fin caused a sensation in her two pairs! And thank goodness we had them. Twain was right about San Francisco: “The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.” Finley is seriously the best traveling companion ever. She went so far [...]

Ok, so here it is in a nutshell: The bathroom sits, tub and surround in place, with pipes waiting to be set and connected. John the plumber never called. My contractions have stayed quiet whilst we have toiled on the house. Tomorrow we are going to the plumber first thing. Mama is going to work the ever-loving-heck out [...]
