    How becoming a parent is like going on safari…

    I’m pregnant! Which means that Mike and I are adding a third person to our future travel and restaurant reservations. This is both exciting and scary as hell for me. I never expected to have a baby, so the idea of becoming a parent is quite daunting. I’ve spent a lot of time freaking out about how our truly wonderful life is about to drastically change. And, at least for a while, become a lot less wonderful. During conversation number eleventy-one about my having a baby panic, Mike (who seriously, has been so wonderfully patient with me) said the one thing that was able to finally calm my existential parenting…

    How to stop tstetse flies from biting you

    I just got back from a three-week safari trip in Tanzania. Everything was awesome, except for the dreaded tsetse flies.
