I have never been a minimalist — no clear surfaces or artfully organized shelves have ever been a feature of my living spaces. I apparently lack whatever natural restraint it takes to keep a counter clear or a table top empty. Instead, I am overwhelmed with the compulsion to fill the space, creating small tableaus with plants, candles, books, art, cups of whatever I’m drinking, small ceramic pieces, or framed photos.

Summary: Most toothbrushes are only as effective as the technique you use, unless it’s an Autobrush. The only ADA-accepted U-shape electric toothbrush, it delivers 5x the clean in just 30-seconds (ideal for little kids and exhausted parents alike!). This unique toothbrush has been a game changer for our family, cutting down on plaque by up to 82%, and eliminating the nightly bedtime routine struggle to get our kid’s teeth cleaned properly.

I recently started watching nature documentaries with my daughter, thinking it was going to be a relaxing, educational answer to the moral dilemma of screentime-brain-rot.

I would get to introduce her to the endlessly delightful world of collective noun trivia.

I like words. I like the puzzle of sorting out the precise combination that will express a thought well. I appreciate a well-turned phrase, or a surprising metaphor, the way that words make it possible for me to imagine an experience that might otherwise be beyond my grasp. And I especially appreciate the way that I can use words to feel my way around and over and through the various rich and complicated landscapes of my life.
