On the third day of Christmas (or the fourth, depending on how you count), the snow that fell yesterday is still on the ground. And it’s cold in Albuquerque. Deep heavy sigh and dreaming of a green Christmas. But, if there was no snow we’d not have this cuteness in our backyard. It’s one of…

On the second day of Christmas we ate leftovers. Specifically our traditional family “fruit salad”, aka marshmallow, whipped topping, and pineapple goodness.

I’m no expert on green chile, but I have come to love it so much since moving to New Mexico 10 years ago. So when I met up with my 400ish colleagues in Utah for our annual company gathering, I decided green chile would be a great topic for my 4 minute flash talk. It’s required that we all present…

Here’s the latest installment of craftiness in the Arnold household. This creature is presumably some kind of dinosaur. It’s made with mostly construction paper, has toilet paper roll legs, and has the cutest little T-Rexish arms. Bonus feature: it pukes pom poms.

My 14 year old came up with this craft. Pom poms, construction paper, and some ingenuity. Look at the detail on the wing. Isn’t that cute? And of course no craft is complete without hot glue madness.

As mentioned, the kiddos are hard at work crafting. The youngest made Yoga Man, a super hero for the modern day. My third child made Chef Stew and Assistant Chef Ookie. “He’s not a super hero, he’s just a chef,” he says. As you can see, they are having a ton of fun with…

When I leave on a work trip I often plan a menu for the family for the days that I’m gone. Not because they aren’t capable of figuring out what to eat on their own, they most definitely are, but we are a team and with one player gone everything gets a tiny bit harder so if thinking…

We had a great WordPress meetup last night all about our favorite plugins and even some plugins created by local folks. My friend Jamii (who also hosted the event at her coworking space) put a nice writeup about it on her blog. There’s not surprisingly, a lot of great WordPress work happening in my town.

I purged my WordPress t-shirts today and went from 20 to 10. These are the ones that made the cut.

I’ve been thinking about my work space lately. When not at my coworking space, I’ve been working from a craft desk in my garage. While my main desk is in my bedroom, I discovered that my craft desk is just exactly the perfect height for me to stand at. And since standing desks are all the rage, I figure…
