Don't worry about my kids while I travel
I’m a little more than two and a half years into a job that is based in Washington, DC. We didn’t have to move there because I’m a teleworker. But that means I need to travel. These days, that means I travel at least once a month. I just wrapped up three straight weeks home…
Read More +A DC experience everyone should try at least once
Waking up early isn’t my favorite thing to do in the world. But I try to do it at least once every time I visit somewhere away from home. Why? Because I’ve found running in the morning at sunrise gives you a peek into a different location in a way you can’t see at any…

If your mom works in Washington, DC, you’d think you would have a chance to visit all the time. But if you live in the middle of the country, it might take two and a half years! But when you have two and a half years to plan out five days, you know it’s going…

I have an amazing opportunity to speak at a TEDx event at the Poynter Institute in St. Petersburg, Florida today. I’s a huge honor but it also means I’m missing the kids’ first day of school. I know there are a lot of parents who are never able to send their kids off on the…

I’m in Boston this week. It’s so beautiful here and I can say I went to my first game at Fenway Park last night. I am so lucky to have a job that allows me to work at home when I’m not traveling. But when I’m on the road, I try as hard as I…

It’s spring break in our household! Well, it is for the kids, I’m still working. But after work Thursday, I’m driving the kids out to Kansas City to stay at an airport hotel. Why? Because we’re making a quick mini-trip to Disney World! Yes, I know. I know. How is that possible? We were just…

I’m away again for work this week, and I had to leave the kids before our season’s first snow. We are incredibly lucky to have neighbors who were willing to juggle our kids with theirs while Randy and I were out of town. (I was leaving and Randy was working his way home after a…
Read More +Pretty awesome ride for the Born Just Right Chicago adventure
This year’s prosthetic trip to Chicago is a little different than our trips in the past. It’s an extended stay because I am speaking at a big conference next week in Chicago. Since I knew it was coming up, I scheduled building Jordan’s helper arm for the week before so I didn’t have to travel…
