The plants in Dev's tank got a haircut! I also added a big chunk of java fern that I stole from my 20g tank.

This week, I built my first Rails Engine! Basically, they are a super cool way to house an app within an app. I love that I'm learning something new at dutchie every day!

This is my first August Entry for my 2021: Witchy Reads StoryGraph challenge. It is my first foray into astrology, and it earned a solid 4 stars. I recommend reading over listening to this one. I f...

This was my second August entry for my 2021: Witchy Reads StoryGraph challenge. I gave it 2.5 stars, mainly due to it's repetitive story-telling nature. While a lot of the anecdotes were quite touc...

After a few fits and starts, I finally merged my first PR at dutchie! While the PR was some simple refactoring and rearranging of files, it was a great way to get my feet wet and interact with the ...

One week as a software engineer at dutchie is on the books! We had a few hiccups (my work computer got lost in the mail and didn't arrive until Thursday), but it was overall a fantastic week. Now t...

What a magical evening at Daytona Beach! I loved the opportunity to teach my niece and nephew about my favorite place — the ocean! We found shells, splashed in the waves, and had an impromptu scien...

Mom needed something to decorate her office, so I helped her out. It took a few evenings of work, but we're both pleased with the results!

For the first time in nearly two years, I finally got to visit my mom in Florida. We chatted in the pool, did some crafts, and spent hours in the ocean... perfect mama-daughter time!

I flew to Texas and back to pick up our newest family member, Juniper "Juju" Rose. She has already stolen my heart.

Dex and I had a fantastic time seeing Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires at Red Rocks tonight! I love this venue.

Finally bought a custom domain for my technical blog! Check it out at codewitch.dev!

I just spoke on a panel about working from home for Flatiron School's on-campus students. It feels great to be able to give back to the community that taught me so much!

Today, I put the finishing touches on this blanket for my mother-in-law's birthday! If you love to crochet and want a way to stretch your skills, you've gotta try the Moogly CAL!

Pretty stoked to get this cert today! freeCodeCamp is the perfect review after completing Flatiron School's boot camp. I also loved the opportunity to learn more about accessibility.

Just earned the Reports & Dashboards for Lightning Experience badge on Trailhead. It feels great to be back to work after such a long recovery!

Finally starting to get the hang of Tailwind CSS! I've been working on CSS stuff all morning, and I don't feel like clawing my eyes out! That's called progress, folks. Also, shoutout to Eileen Sant...

Boba tea, @CheyenneMtnZoo, sushi, and sake with @docswarlock? Did someone say best birthday ever?!?!

TIL: Sometimes ActiveRecord gets out of sync when you’re running tests. Call `.reload` to make sure you've got the updated record. Thanks, Simon!

It's not perfect, but it is a huge improvement! The new version of CodeWitch.dev is live! Thank you to everyone who helped out!

I had a great time at this conference! My favorite talk was "How Technologists Can Make a Difference in Wildlife Conservation" by Gracie Ermi.

I am so excited to be a part of this initiative! Let's make sure all students have access to computer science! https://get.tech/blog/mystartintech-interview-with-audrea-cook/

So pleased to announce I've accepted a software engineering position at dutchie! I can't wait to get started!

I married my best friend!
