Happy St. Patrick’s Day. This holiday used to be a much bigger deal to me back when I was at Boston College (duh… for many reasons), and David and I even got in the spirit by running the 5k race they hold in Southie. This year, though, not so much. I spent the day in … Read more

Sunday Morning Coffee: March 3, 2019
My parents are in town, and we’re celebrating my birthday week with some quality time and dinners together. My sisters and I are taking turns hosting, and tonight we’ll head to Waypoint, a small-plates restaurant. Its our first time having a babysitter come watch the kids, which I know is a bit ridiculous because of … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee: August 19, 2018
It’s been a bit of a week here, with some very high highs and some bumpy, clunky lows. Some of the good bits included connecting with friends and colleagues to catch up on life and share ideas and enthusiasm for the projects ahead of us. Some of the lows included a few medical appointments, including … Read more

Welcome to the weekend. It’s been a full week, and I’m glad for the break and time with family. My parents are still in town and David’s birthday is coming up, so there’s a lot of celebration and shared meals. The days, though, have been intense. We’re navigating busy schedules and commitments, but it feels … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee: July 22, 2018
It’s a rainy Sunday morning, and my family is in town to visit. We’re doing a lot of shared meals together this weekend then heading in to the work week tomorrow just as we usually do. We also recently got a new rug for the living room floor, much bigger and fluffier than our old … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee: May 27, 2018
It’s so nice to be in the middle of a long weekend. I’m loving this unstructured time with my family. Daycare was closed Friday, too, so it’s been a four-day weekend for us. We’d originally planned to visit my family in the midwest, but that felt like just too much to wrap my head around … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee: May 20, 2018
The week felt like summer should be peaking through, but it mostly has been chilly and rainy. The colleges throughout the city are all holding graduations, and the streets and sidewalks are correspondingly packed with confused and frustrated parents trying to figure out Boston traffic. It’s been a fairly low-energy week for me. Will’s been … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee: March 18, 2018
I got to spend the weekend at the MEDA conference, a gathering of eating disorder professionals here in the Boston area, held over Friday and Saturday. It’s both invigorating and exhausting at the same time: a lot of new faces, new ideas, excitement, and enthusiasm for the work we do. There are so many dedicated … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee: February 25, 2018
It’s becoming more apparent that Will is on the verge of one, or a few, developmental milestones, and we’ve got the interrupted sleep patterns to prove it. While not horrible, he’s frequently waking up multiple times during the night (I had cozily grown accustomed to once in the middle of the night). In the daytime, … Read more
