I always get a bit panicked when the kids get out of school for the summer. School brings structure and routine, which I value, and our summer life does not include much structure. Sunday morning I met a new person at church, Michelle. Michelle works at a high level...

This summer’s working vacation happened in Florida at my parents’ new home. The girls and I both missed the lake house: swimming early and late in the warm water, hiding under the dock for shelter from the sun, and our annual boat ride to Subway for lunch....

I’ve been working from my home since early 2009, when a desk and family-shared laptop in the corner of our living room comprised my office. I later graduated to my very own net-book computer, at which point I felt like I’d arrived. The fact that my work...
