Saturday, June 20, 2026 Heading out from Vegas! Case in point why we have to go carry on only… and the Toyota Sienna minivan has a BIG trunk! 6 carryons and our personal items… Drive to first stop, Vegas > Valley of Fire State Park. First stop, Beehives! Visitor Center: Picked up a map and… Continue reading Zion/Vegas Trip Day 2: Valley of Fire!

Boys had Chick Fil A: The rest of… Continue reading Zion/Vegas Day 1!
You guys know by now that I STRUGGLE with packing. I have felt like in the last couple of years I've actually gotten worse with it, not better, too. Due to both cost increases and space reasons, we've shifted to being pretty much exclusively carry-on only travelers now. We also frequently take fairly long trips,… Continue reading Packing tips for an indecisive traveler
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
