I have successfully kept a small human alive for a whole trip around the sun! I'm looking forward to watching Niko express his little personality more and more! 😊

Who all is headed to my neck of the woods for GenCon this week?

I'll be there from about 11-1:30/2 on Thursday and Friday with Niko in tow (did you know you get to use the accessible services Will Call if you have a kid in a stroller?) and 11-6/6:30 on Saturday (Grandpa is babysitting).

There's a fun photo comparison that a lot of birthing folk like to do of "nine months in, nine months out", and guess how old Niko is today??

Baby boy went from a basketball under my shirt to a TALL lad who is already basically half my height 😅

Niko is cutting his first teeth and I am having the HARDEST time using the word "teeth" when talking to him because he is too cute! and the teeth are so little! and so they MUST be "teefers"!!

I have also used "angy"/"hungy", "what do", and probably some others that aren't coming to mind 😅

Baby Niko is ready to enjoy (and join in with) some music that's raising money for LA Wildfire relief! Come watch at twitch.tv/Zeldathon !

On this Valentine's Day, I give you all the gift of the best song from the Fisher-Price Kick & Play piano, which goes way harder than it has any right to. (John Legend even did a cover of it???)

Today in a way feels like the "official" start of being a stay-at-home mom since this is Retsam's first day back from paternity leave and also about when I would have been going back to work if I'd just done maternity leave. I gotta figure out some places to go that aren't the outdoors (it cold).

In one of the strangest chapters of my life, I spent several months in the trenches of Big Headlight, looking to understand just how and why headlights became brighter than the sun. Answers, graphs, penis sketches—it's all here, on the brand new Ringer site:

The crusade against bright headlights has picked up speed in recent years, in large part due to a couple of Reddit nerds. Could they know what’s best for the auto industry better than the auto industr...

Yes, the Christmas tree is up before Thanksgiving. I have a two-month-old that likes looking at lights, and that's probably the extent of Christmas he's going to like this year.

It's weird to me how surreal parenting is sometimes, even two months in. We are the same people living in the same house, but somehow a small human is here too? I'm the one who was pregnant and there is still a part of my brain that goes "wait, where did he come from?"

We finally got a Netflix subscription since Retsam has a nice long paternity leave, so we're watching the live action One Piece now. I know shockingly little about the anime or manga (other than: it long) but dang is this a charming little show!

It's hard, but I am enjoying finally being Mama Trina ❤️

Alright, which of you is already planning to run this at a future Side Quest?
Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore was a pleasant surprise when it was announced, and something a little out of the ordinary for Zelda fans to look forward to.
