Learning Log, Feb & Mar 2026

I returned to work from my parental leave in mid-February, hence the lack of a Feb Learning Log. AI seems to be rewriting the game on the weekly, which has been an interesting environment to come back to.

I was predictably nervous about adjusting back to working life as a first-time parent, but actually we’ve adjusted pretty quickly as a family (*knock on wood*). Our girl is so chill and happy and gives us so much joy; I love to hear her little babbles in the morning.

✍ Blog posts

Manuel interviewed me for People & Blogs! I will always be happy to push the idea of blogging.

🧶 Crafting

Finished a couple projects:

  • I sewed two toy storage cubes for my daughter. They fit into IKEA Eket blocks. One has apple-patterned fabric, and the other eggs!
  • I knitted a simple hat, of course finishing this beanie on the first weekend in spring.

🧙🏻‍♀️ Side quests

  • Celebrate our three-year anniversary
  • Watched the Super Bowl, Olympics, and a Kraken game (from home)
  • Showed baby S her first snow! In March! ❄
  • Just a week later she experienced her first sakura in full bloom 🌸
  • Made matcha mochi (technically chi chi dango)
