We love Ello, the ad-free social network defined by excellent design and fierce, user-centered values. Here's why it's a better publishing experience for our company, and why expect it to become our primary social network.
I want my kids to get this: regularly escaping routine is refreshing and invigorating, and showing up to seize whatever time you have with your people is important.
There are so many exciting milestones on the road of life. But outside of the monumental moments , I'm looking forward to the less epic, but just as meaningful, experiences for my son.
One of the things people dont really give you enough warning about when you become a parent is the outrageous tendency strangers have to do weird stuff to your baby.
As I sit here writing, I feel that mixture of excitement and anxiety that comes up for me anytime I leave my kids for a few days. I know that I'm doing this for myself - to help reclaim those parts of me that I never actually needed to put away or give away or push away at all.
