I currently have nine apps on my iPad and iPhone that I have been using (a lot!) in this process of looking for where we want to live in Portland. Rather than highlight each of them separately in their own weekly reviews, I decided to combine them all into one here today. Even if you … Continue reading
We made a decision. We chose House number one. We made an offer Friday before we left town. It was really pretty crazy how fast things moved. We left the appointment with the realtor, went to the two bedroom apartment above Whole Foods, and then to lunch, where we had a burger and a beer, … Continue reading
As I told you yesterday, we started Wednesday, May 30th (a mere week ago) believing that we would be living in an apartment. In our “we can do anything for a year” mode, we had decided that if need be, we could put the two boys, Jason, me, the cat, and the dog all into … Continue reading
Omigosh, we’re moving to Portland! So, it turns out one (this one anyway) can’t get a house ready to sell, look for and try to buy another house 300 or so miles away, deal with end of the school year stuff, and support one’s husband in job changes and selling the beloved Volkswagon Vanagon without … Continue reading

This past weekend the boys and I decided to go out on a hike, and I was craving green and trees, so it meant we needed to drive somewhere. Jason was out of town, so it was just the boys, the dog, me, and our handy dandy guide to hikes in our part of the … Continue reading
A few years ago, on a whim, Jason and I decided that we wanted to take our kids to every baseball park in the Major League and see the home team play. The thing that’s funny about that is that neither us nor our two boys are super huge baseball fans. We like baseball fine … Continue reading
You realize that a year in review is only two weeks at this point, don’t you? It sounds way more impressive to say “a year in review” though. Does anyone else hear it being said in a news anchor voice? “A year in review … with Tom Brokaw.” How ’bout now? Anyway, I’m doing a … Continue reading
