What I think about. Things that happen to me. Stuff I like. And other things.

  • An evening on the beach watching the sun go down and skipping rocks into the waves.

  • I’ve always known that home is where my feet are. Turns out that home is also where our wheels are. Lucky for me, I can blog from anywhere. #WPHome More on our travels

  • WordPress in the Boondocks

    In a tiny town in rural Utah that can barely claim 300 people, there’s a coffee shop that proudly stands up alongside the cutest and coffee-est of coffee shops in any metropolitan area. My husband and I walked into this adorable little shop to get my coffee fix. After taking our order the barista asks…

  • In solidarity with every other woman who’s traveled the Santa Fe trail.

  • I love little churches in the countryside. It was hard to tell if this one is in use, but it’s really well kept and super pretty. Elk across the street! How cool is that? Right next to the church, another one of my favorites, straight rows of some green thingĀ or other growing in a field.…

  • Two of my colleagues (Deborah Beckett and Elizabeth Urello) and I spoke about support at WordCamp Philadelphia this weekend. This is a modification of the talk I did in Nicaragua a few weeks ago. Elizabeth Urello gets credit for the original idea šŸ™‚ Sadly, these images don’t let you hear our delightful anecdotes and as…

  • I’m in Nicaragua for the third time in my life. The first was when I was born and the second was last year for WordCamp Managua 2013. This time I’m at WordCamp again. We’re in a lovely beach town called Las PeƱitas, just outside of León, about an hour from Managua. I just gave a…

  • We visited the train station in Lamy, New Mexico and the kids found an I-beam to jump off of. The iPhone 4 struggles to get decent fast pics, but I think it held up pretty well this time.

  • Nine things I learned in Panama

    My family and I just came back from 5 weeks in Panama. We’d been dreaming about this trip for a long long time and were finally financially able to do it. I have a flexible job with the freedom to work from anywhere so we up and finally did it. l should mention, we’re no…

  • If I Had a Bucket List, This Would Have Been on It

    This weekend I got a Kuna beaded anklet, a long string of beads that when tied on just right a pattern emerges. The Kuna women wear them on their calves and arms. I’ve always wanted one, and for one reason or another, never got one. I suppose I bugged my mom about it when I…
