Blogging, Books, Startup Collaborations & Cross-Country Moves with Kids

Do you know, I've never done a podcast before? It's really fun: it feels strangely informal and intimate, and 20 minutes in you kind of forget you're being recorded for broadcast and start telling stories that you didn't exactly mean to tell.

(Click here to listen to my episode of the Spirit of 608 podcast, in which we talk how to make a living as a blogger, cross-country road trips with babies, and why I am really, really not even a tiny bit like Kate Middleton.)

Camp Out

You know what launch parties are?

Stressful.

You worry about the guest list and the food and the drinks and the gift bags and the decor and will anybody come and what if it rains and what if it's too hot and what if it's too cold and yaaaaaargh.

Links & Love & Stuff

 In search of tattoo inspiration? Wes Lang's work (that's his book on my piano, pictured above) is a good place to start.

 Love this dusty-rose polish for fall (and love the name, P.Y.T.).

 Last night I had a conversation about Donald Trump with my friend, and for real: I need someone to explain to me in human terms why the fact that he's running for president is not a joke. Because it seems like a joke to me, so I'm having trouble taking seriously the (apparently very real) threat that this man could one day have the job of speaking on behalf of my country.
