About

Hi there. My name is Linda. I’ve been detailing the thrilling minutiae of my life on the web since 2002, back when personal blogs were called “online journals”, this image was being emailed around the planet, and scanning items from pet catalogues seemed like a pretty good use of my time.

I’m 34, and I live in a Seattle suburb with my family. Our foursome includes my husband, the many-adjective’d JB, and our sons Riley and Dylan. We have a couple of mostly useless pets, too, because what would life be without giant repulsive mounds of animal hair littering every surface of the house?

A lot has changed since I started this journal. For one thing, I wasn’t always so sure I wanted children, and now I’m the mother of TWO little booger factories. I’ve taken many many pictures of many many moments. Oh, and I broke about a thousand HTML pages and Wordpress templates along the way, so take care not to trip over all those bad links.

In addition to my day job at a Mac software company and that whole wrangling-two-children thing, I’m also a freelance writer. My hobbies include taking photos with my Nikon D70, reading comic books, and thinking about zombies. I enjoy mint candies, profanity, and Lululemon yoga pants.

I recently launched a fitness/health website called Bodies in Motivation, which I’m very proud of. You should totally go check it out.

I’m currently a contributing writer at:
• Balanced Living at Gather
• Work It, Mom!
• Daily Grommet

I have previously contributed to:
• SundryBuzz
• Lemondrop
• ParentDish
• ClubMom

Pictures? Okay then!

Here is my husband trying to throw our oldest child into a ceiling fan:

Ha ha! I’m just kidding, of course. We don’t have a fan. We actually have a ceiling-mounted wood chipper.

This is my youngest son, who was born in February 2008:

As you can see he is formed entirely of pressed ham.

I’d show you a flattering photo of myself in order to help you picture the sort of dignified, mature person who writes this blog, but you’ll have to make do with this:
