Happy Holidays!

This is the mantel at my parent’s house. And that is a teensy baby stocking for Gabe. Haha. Super freaking cute.

I am in Seattle for the holiday madness, wishing for snow, dodging rain puddles, and running my 7+ month pregnant self to catch buses (then regretting that decision). I am also waiting not-so-patiently for my Christmas cards to arrive to their destinations! (“Damn you USPS!” She cried into the bitter night!) And no, I am not done writing them, because I am a teensy failure this year. It’s a process! You can’t rush genius! Or something…

Regardless! From my ever-growing-egg-shaped-self (and family) to yours – Have an amazing holiday, new year, and winter solstice time. I’m going to be off the blog until after Christmas. And then BACK AGAIN with fistfuls of stories…. right? Right.

Love and happiness and adventure to all! (And to all a good Friday.)

  1. Ohhh all the love to you. Merry Christmas. Enjoy !
    That is a super cute stocking indeed.
    And as soon as a cake is out of the oven I’m off to Amsterdam to get a little something for Gabe :) That and some treats for you guys. (So yes, I am also late in the sending of cards)

  2. What a coincidence! I am also waiting not-so-patiently for your Christmas card to reach its destination! Haha.

    :)

    • That also could be that your card is sitting next to my bed at my parents house because i suck at life.

      Umm… New Years cards? I swear mine will be super thoughtful!!! (I was so on top of it… and then I wasn’t…)

  3. Got it last night! Loved that you guys took the time to write a handwritten personal note. It meant a lot. We are not that heartfelt or punctual, so New Years cards they will be! Lol :) Xoxo.

I am a writer living in the Bay Area and I believe that life is a grand adventure and only boring if you believe it to be. Plus! You don't need money to have fun.

I live with my husband, a photographer by education and a maker-of-video-games by trade, in a 1-bedroom apartment filled with hand-me-down furniture and a baby named Gabe.

I am romantic about most things and I cry... about almost anything. I tell stories to entertain you, I spread stories to keep you in the loop. I am not a grammar freak, but I do know how to spell it. I am exceedingly proud of my scrambled eggs and I really could eat an entire pan of cupcakes. If I met me, I would be my best friend. I tend to be irreverent.

If you would like to chat with me or see what else I'm up to you can follow me on Twitter (betterinrealife), on facebook, or email me at betterinrealife at gmail.
