What’s the Mission?
I’ve been anxious recently about getting the kids to daycare without a car. This is also the first time — ever — that the kids have been in daycare while both of us are working. That’s a lot of stress! Today, however, I found out that I could do it.
Yesterday, several things went wrong, and [...]
I’m really excited, because I’m going to a conference, and it’s only costing me TEN DOLLARS! That’s right — WordCamp Portland, a conference for bloggers and developers using the WordPress platform, sometimes known as WordCamPDX, costs only $10. For that, you get one day of speakers and breakout sessions, a t-shirt, and a a WordCamp [...]
First of all, a big thank you to Sarah Gilbert, who has loaned us a child seat for my bike!
However, I ended up not actually needing to use it this morning, due to a schedule change, and I probably won’t need it tomorrow, either. Maybe on Thursday. Husband’s job situation is slightly complicated at the [...]

Last night, we attended a PTO leadership meeting/potluck in the neighborhood park. It was sprinkling as were getting ready to go, but we called the PTO chair, and she said “I’m already here, let’s [...]

We don’t really want to move to the [...]
I’ll be at Girl Scout camp for a couple of days, with no technology allowed. Cheers!
Brad at SimplyOneLife wrote that he and Melissa are thinking about buying an inner city house for around $30,000, as both home and ministry base. They’re currently in Columbus, Ohio.
Naturally, I thought “You’ve got to be kidding me!” and promptly visited an Ohio real estate page.
Well, they’ve got homes in Columbus listed as low as [...]
