*This post is part of my "passion project" series where I'm slowly going back to recap our old family trips (pre-blog). I never made photo books or anything so this is my way of going back and documenting these fun times! I also just really enjoy doing this, as a hobby. 🙂 Also, blog friend… Continue reading South Dakota! Part 1: Mitchell Corn Palace, the Badlands, Wall Drug and arrival to the Black Hills
Just read SHU's post about her May goals, so, I will be a copycat and share mine! 😁 THIS IS A RIDICULOUS LIST, fyi. My "goals" always start morphing into a huge task list. lol. I am generally okay with this? As I work through my monthly planning doc, it tends to generate lots of… Continue reading May 2026 Goals
Currently sitting in my car waiting for Ethan’s 4:15 tennis match to start: I ducked out of work early to get here. Tennis matches are tough! They always start at 4:15 and seems so many are “away” (and FAR away). This one is a “home” match but the courts are still almost 30 minutes away… Continue reading Tuesday
In the spirit of (trying) to keep my posts shorter, I'm going to do a slightly less thorough April recap. (*everyone cheers*) The month kicked off with the first ~5 days spent in the Virgin Islands. We returned late Sunday April 5th, then dove into a new workweek. I struggled to get my footing a… Continue reading A sort-of abbreviated April 2026 Monthly Recap
Daily post, coming at you live from the gym! I didn’t get a chance to write yet today, and it’s getting late in the day now… so, let’s kill two birds with one stone. Work out with me! Get ready for some likely unflattering pics. 😆 Today's workout! 1- Dumbbell thrusters: 4 sets 10 reps… Continue reading Work out with me! 🙂
Eek, guess what?! Last night I impulsively bought a ticket to see Garth Brooks at Summerfest (aka "The World's Largest Music Festival) in Milwaukee on June 16! BY MYSELF! haha. I am a huge 90s country fan and I love love love Garth Brooks' music. I listened to it so much in high school. Unfortunately,… Continue reading On friends (in low places)
From a tree in my backyard... in a beer glass. 😅 I think after my lengthy blogging streak on vacation, plus some long "recappy" posts when we returned, I maybe hit a blogging saturation point, or something. Sorry for the radio silence all week! I guess I felt like I didn't have anything too significant… Continue reading Happy May! + MayBloPoMo 😉
I didn't get a ton of feedback either way, but from what I did, a few people seemed interested, so, here's a couple more days. 🙂 Thursday CATEGORYTIME SPENTACTIVITIES?

I have "tracked my time" intermittently for a couple years now, but more in the journalistic way. I have my little spreadsheet and jot things down, but I have never worried about exactness or tallying it up or anything. For some reason, maybe inspired by the recent BOBW episode and the suggestion to try time… Continue reading 2 days of time tracking results
I feel like this last ~week or so has been fun! Backing up to last Thursday- I already talked about my nursing symposium presentation + fun "little adventure" out for happy hour with Ivan. Friday was stormy and low key and we had tornado warnings. Side note: I haven't mentioned here yet, but we had… Continue reading A fun stretch!
GRATEFUL KAE
