Ahhh, the Garth Brooks concert was SO FUN!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤩 I'm so glad I went. I rode with my volleyball friend and her mom (who was super nice and even insisted on paying for my dinner!!). We went out for dinner at Wicked Hop in Milwaukee's Third Ward before the concert, a fun brewery about 3/4… Continue reading Garth Brooks concert recap! 🤠
A quick check-in to say howdy and share a few miscellany: Today's the day, Garth Brooks concert day! I'm excited! I can't remember if I mentioned here that although I bought my ticket to go alone, it turns out a volleyball friend and her mom also had tickets for tonight. So I'm catching a ride… Continue reading Tuesday misc. and GARTH DAY!
Looking back at what I wrote in last Sunday's post, I feel like I can basically say "ditto". As evidenced by my lack of posting, this past week also felt rather hectic. Again, on paper it sort of wasn't, really? So, I don't know. I think it was mostly just that my work days were… Continue reading Sunday Style Scenes #3 + the week in review
May goals review: I already did my big May Recap post, so I already addressed a lot of these. This post is "not necessary" BUT I set a lot of goals for May, so I want to look at them specifically to see how I did. I'm going to use the following key: ✅= complete… Continue reading May goals -> June goals
This past week flew by. I felt a bit scattered, too. It's not like I had an objectively hard week. Actually, on paper it looks like mostly all I did was fun stuff in my free time. For some reason it didn't really feel like that, though? Maybe because work was intense last week. There's… Continue reading Sunday style scenes #2 and the week
May was the least "Mayhem" May I think we've had in years. I guess we are officially past some of that. Or, it's a lull until the next two years when I'll have seniors and I think there's more of a flurry again as senior year wraps up. Never fear, there was still plenty of… Continue reading May 2026 Recap
Last week I talked about my ongoing battle with my closet. Not a new topic around here. (That, as well as me whining about overpacking.) I vowed to try taking pics of my daily outfits for a while. In the past, this has helped me actually wear some different things, be a bit more mindful,… Continue reading Saturday style scenes
*This post is part of my “passion project” travel series where I’m slowly going back to recap our family trips from pre-blog days.* See Part 1 and Part 2 here: Part 1: Mitchell Corn Palace, the Badlands, Wall Drug, and arrival to the Black Hills Part 2: Crazy Horse, Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park & Deadwood… Continue reading South Dakota Part 3: Needles Highway, canoeing Sylvan Lake, Blue Bell’s Chuckwagon Dinner, horses and fishing!
This short week is flying by- Thursday already! Before it's too far gone, here are a few scenes from our long Memorial Day weekend. Saturday's outing was the long walk to the bookstore + coffee shop. (Already shared.) On Sunday, Ivan and I walked Charlie at a nearby marsh, and then went to lunch at… Continue reading Weekend scenes and soda updates/advice from Chat GPT
Fun fact, I've continued time tracking! And specifically, I've continued tallying up my category totals. I had tracked my time in an informal, 'journaly' way for a long time in the past, but had never categorized my time before. After I did a week, I was like, Ooh, this is interesting! But then I felt… Continue reading More time tracking… some category breakdowns after 4 full weeks
