I am 35, which means I’m old enough to appreciate what a joy Tide original scent is on freshly cleaned laundry, but young enough to remember when Friday nights were a thing.

I have been married 9 years, which means I have discovered new dimensions in a profound & evolving love, and also have asked my husband to flush out the wax buildup in my ears… more than once.

I have 3 sons, which means my single-family residence is increasingly eligible to rezone as a fraternity house.

I work at a global tech company, which means that since March 2020, I have been holed up in a corner of my unfinished basement with a $40 faux-wood photographer’s sheet prop behind me to give the illusion that I am not, in fact, making business decisions from within what appears to be a poorly appointed prison cell.

I am not strictly a “glass half full” person, but I am definitely a “glass could have been emptier” person, which means I spend a lot of time counting my blessings even when things go wrong.

Hence the site name. In my estimation, lemons don’t get nearly the acclaim they deserve compared to the “make lemonade” adage.
