Vesuvius At Home: August 2015
http://www.vesuviusathome.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 24, 2015. Neither Noah nor I are good at rocking the boat. We didn't want to call the school and ask for special treatment. I got Ayla into the car. "How big of a deal is this situation with your friends? I asked. "A big deal, a small deal, a medium deal? It's fine, it's not a big deal," Ayla said. "I'll still see them at recess and before school and stuff.". But she was holding back tears. The feelings," she said. Herself and aware of herself like a starlet in a fashion spread. Hi, I'm Br...

Vesuvius At Home: January 2015
http://www.vesuviusathome.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 27, 2015. I woke to the white light of perfect winter. The house was quiet. Now it is snowing from a gray and blue sky, tiny flakes that fall lazily and will amount to nothing. It really is doing the most magical thing outside my window right now, with the sunlight turning to orange and the snow flakes falling so slowly they are almost still in the air, fixed like stars. The Gabby Douglas Story.". It's still snowing so prettily, but nothing will come of it. Links to this post. We did hav...

http://www.vesuviusathome.com/2015/08/august-rushes-in.html
Tuesday, August 4, 2015. Aug 4, 2015, 12:06:00 PM. This is one of the most beautiful posts I have ever read. It has given me a whole new perspective on August, another way to approach its slow monotonous days. Thank you for this light-filled evocation of the season. Your girls are growing up magnificently. Your photos are poetry. How I have missed your writing! Aug 4, 2015, 1:00:00 PM. Aug 4, 2015, 1:52:00 PM. Aug 4, 2015, 6:50:00 PM. Sigh Sniffle and sigh. I love this with a pain in my chest.

Vesuvius At Home: September 2014
http://www.vesuviusathome.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 10, 2014. Even our gin isn't good enough to steal. I say But no. Neither one of us wants a donut now that we could actually have one. We are both too full on Mexican food. And zombies, they are real but not the part about the brains? Out of the blue yesterday Indy stood on a chair and did stand up. Her inflections were like Seinfeld's. "When I was born I thought Ayla was a MAN," she said. "She had super short hair like daddy and I am like, is she a man? Links to this post. At this tu...

Vesuvius At Home: October 2014
http://www.vesuviusathome.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 31, 2014. Ghosts of Halloween Past. I'm feeling draped in nostalgia and ennui this Halloween. What better way to nurse said feelings than a waltz down Snapfish lane. 2008, the year we had a membership to the Denver Zoo and did the Boo at the Zoo thing. Also the year my dad and I flew to NYC on Halloween, flew home on the day Obama was elected, and the year princess culture had a firm hold on both my girls. 2009: THIS IS GETTING LONG SORRY. 2010: WOW YOU ARE STILL HERE? 2013: I know, right?

Don't pet me, I'm writing: Anyone else feeling squishy or vain?
http://tawnafenske.blogspot.com/2015/01/anyone-else-feeling-squishy-or-vain.html
Monday, January 5, 2015. Anyone else feeling squishy or vain? Isn't it time for your annual women's exam? These were the tender words my husband spoke to me the other morning. The fact that he knows the timing of my yearly visit to the crotch doc is either an indication he pays close attention to my health and well-being, or that he takes a vested interest in my hoo-hah. Whatever the case, I was hesitant to answer. "Kinda.". No," I admitted. Does anyone besides you or your doctor see them? He's right in ...

Vesuvius At Home: May 2014
http://www.vesuviusathome.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 30, 2014. 30 minutes to write). Please bear with me during this Writing In The Time of Real Jobs when my sentences are jumbled and only borderline coherent. That's just the state of my brian. My brain. Links to this post. Saturday, May 24, 2014. Deep In The Evening. We stepped out of the car and into the stars. And heard myself say, "It smells like June." What I meant was that it smelled so close to the way that happiness did, when I was growing up. Links to this post. Monday, May 19, 2014.

Thursday, August 21, 2014. Oh look, here I am again, Brittany, rudderless. I climbed down beneath the covers and told my soul she was doing a beautiful job. And she is. We all are. We are stumbling along through a limitless dark doing the best we can, which is enough. If I was some celestial being looking down upon our efforts against the void, I would be in awe. We keep getting up. Links to this post. Wednesday, August 13, 2014. Rampant Nostalgia Overcomes Here. Links to this post. Links to this post.

Vesuvius At Home: June
http://www.vesuviusathome.com/2015/06/june.html
Saturday, June 6, 2015. Of photographs reminded me of these two pictures of my daughters. Is one of the more fascinating articles I've ever read. Is an old blog post by Tavi Gevinson that touched me. I have been listening to the Longform podcast. And the interviews with Cheryl Strayed and Tavi Gevinson got my juices flowing. Dear Marc Maron: Amy Schumer, Melissa McCarthy, Maya Rudolph, Kaitlin Olson, Jessica Walter. By Robin Rinaldi and Spinster. Jun 7, 2015, 12:38:00 PM. Jun 13, 2015, 1:08:00 AM. Hi, I'...
