Every month, at work, we have a staff meeting. At the staff meeting we celebrate the month’s birthdays.

This month hosts, of course, my birthday.

You may recall I like to make cakes, and my own cakes for my own special occasions. So, why would this year at this place be any different?

So, I made this “Red Velvet Cake” (aka Cocoa Fudge Cake) for work. Levi helped with the frosting. He had SOOO much fun helping, he got sad when I dropped him off at school – so I promised him we’d make another one when we got home. Hence the SECOND cake. 🙂

Journey Home: Reflections from 10,000 Feet

As I sit on the plane, surrounded by the hum of the engine and the chill of the window, I can’t help but notice the person in front of me repeatedly adjusting their seat, each movement a grating assault on my laptop screen. The journey back to Portland, high above the clouds, prompts reflections on the comforts of home and the complexities of travel.
