Boy | The Life Coastal
https://thelifecoastal.wordpress.com/2011/06/23/boy
Life on the Oregon coast. About The Life Coastal. June 23, 2011. I don’t need a tattoo to commemorate the birth of my son. I have wide, red stretch marks reaching up around the once-smooth skin of my belly like branches on the tree of life. It’s been nearly three months now since my son, Z was born and between feedings, changings and countless nighttime hours spent rocking him in the dark cave of our living room, I’ve not had time, nor the energy, to write. Labor was hard. It was far more painful tha...

Perch | The Life Coastal

Life on the Oregon coast. About The Life Coastal. June 10, 2012. It’s been a year since I’ve updated my blog. I’m not going to fill the lost time, just keep moving forward. When the eagles move on for the morning, Z wakes up and we go about our day, much of which I spend trying to think of ways to use his endless toddler energy. Yesterday I had him push his own stroller up the hill behind our house, and back down again. He loves pushing things. Right now I am just enjoying the mystery of her, soon enough...

Life on the Oregon coast. About The Life Coastal. January 28, 2011. Tags: 8 months pregnant. For Laura, who told me today it’s my turn to blog about the Sunset Shack. I first came upon this place in early summer, when a friend’s little daughter took my hand and whispered (loudly), “Can I take you to the sunset shack? 8221; And how could one say no to a sweet, curly-haired six-year-old on a golden summer evening at the beach? So she shouted “follow me! Scrawled onto the scraps of paper were short poems, s...

Life on the Oregon coast. About The Life Coastal. December 29, 2010. Tags: Carson Hot Springs. It’s winter whale season here on the Oregon coast, as pregnant mama gray whales travel thousands of miles south to give birth in the warm waters off of Mexico. Christmas morning we hiked into Elowah Falls, the very creek I fell into. Kid came by later that day though, and on Sunday we drove back over the snowy pass to Tillamook, for a little Christmas on the Farm. I knitted a small flock of pillow-sized she...

Just a quick thing about the fish | The Life Coastal
https://thelifecoastal.wordpress.com/2010/04/15/just-a-quick-thing-about-the-fish
Life on the Oregon coast. About The Life Coastal. Just a quick thing about the fish. April 15, 2010. Over the weekend I found myself in an odd situation in which I was driving curvy, pot-holey rural backroads with a live fish in a bowl in my lap, a dozen freshly frosted rainbow cupcakes sliding all over on the seat next to me, steering with one hand and trying to maintain with the other. It kind of reminded me of the time with the mustache. Except maybe this was a little trickier. From → Kid. You are com...
