Once upon a time, we lived in 680 SF. Then we moved, and don't anymore. From the space station to the Space Center! Any questions, drop me a line at rocketgirl [at] rocketcitydigs [dot] com.

Clearing the Shelves, Phase I: DVDs in Binders!
After last week’s post, I had one of those weeks that ends with thinking “What else could happen?”–but me not being completely insane, I didn’t dare think it. The baby had already gotten her first cold, and then RocketMan got … Continue reading
It’s Picnic Season… So Meet the Picnic Rocketpack!
I love picnics. I LOVE picnics. As a kid, we never camped, rarely picnicked, and went to parks only rarely. My folks grew up in the city, so as far as they were concerned, living on a 2.5-acre expanse of … Continue reading

Some things about pregnancy, I’m finding, are awfully fun. Last week I popped—meaning the woman at Golden Gate Meat Company, the receptionist at my office, the co-owner of the market across the street, and a guy in my neighborhood all … Continue reading
Did I mention we're into shelves?
As I’m home sick with a cold, and no hope of symptom relief from my usual OTC drugs, I figured I’d pick an easy topic: shelves. Shelves are the small-space inhabitant’s zinc. It’s her TheraFlu. Her warm bath followed by … Continue reading
