It's a fun and exciting time in the sports world! Looking forward to: 🔷The Winter Olympics!!! I love the Olympics. I love everyone in the world coming together and caring about the same thing at the same time and cheering people on. I love that theme song. I love watching the actual sports. I love… Continue reading Some things I’m looking forward to
I just realized that my recent posts have been very "topic" focused (and fairly few and far between, too). Lots of goals, Ireland, and the most recent "what's been working this year so far" post. I just dropped Charlie off at a (twice rescheduled by the groomer...) grooming appointment, so I stopped for a tea… Continue reading Lately- January 2026
At the risk of tempting fate here, I did a little reflecting on what feels to be working well so far this year for me. 1. My current workout schedule In late fall 2025, I revamped my workout schedule (posted specifics here). The biggest change was switching from a 5x(!)/week gym strength split to a… Continue reading Some things that are working (so far) in 2026
We're already over halfway through Month 1 of 2026 (shakes head in disbelief). Here we were ringing in the new year just a mere minute ago, and now the year is almost 5% over already. There's no time like the present then to share my goals from my 4th and final domain for 2026: Household… Continue reading Household Goals 2026
Okay! Finally carved out a little time to work on recapping our Christmas in Ireland. As you know, I got SICK and was really down and out for a good week+ after the trip, and then the post-holiday re-entry rush was real at work (while still being pretty sick and then dealing with severe post-viral… Continue reading Christmas in Ireland 2025: Part 1
Next up, my 3rd domain, FUN or FAMILY goals! A bit of a mish-mash here, but I wanted to stick to 4 total domains, so I put the "Fs' together. 🙂 Fun or Family: Main Goals: 1. Try 5 new restaurants with Ivan. We have had this one on the list for a couple of… Continue reading Fun or Family goals
My second domain for 2026 goals is Self-Care. (See my first domain, Health, here.) In hindsight, my domains are pretty loose this year! Ha. I'm not sure some of these would traditionally fit in a "self-care" category, but they all are things that basically just directly benefit me, so.... that's what I went with. :)… Continue reading Self-care goals
The first week back into the new year here came on HOT for me! It did not help that I was out for almost 2 weeks, between vacation and then illness. I think the first post-holiday week is heavy for most people, since both school + work tend to do a proverbial "reboot". There's always… Continue reading Time to blog + other New Year misc.
First of all, sickness update: I think I’ve turned a corner! It’s been almost 2 full weeks now, but I’m finally starting to feel better. Whew. I just created a VERY LONG list of things to do this weekend. A lot of my normal post-vacation re-entry activities were ignored due to sickness. Definitely need groceries!!!… Continue reading The post I’d been avoiding… Health Goals 2026
Hello hello! Happy New Year's Eve! We got home from Ireland late Sunday night, and I've been wanting to post all about our wonderful trip, but unfortunately.... I've been very sick. Seems I've been hit with that bad flu going around. My parents were both sick last week when we arrived to Ireland (they had… Continue reading Happy New Year’s Eve… from the couch + Ireland trip teaser
GRATEFUL KAE
