Asher is 16!! His birthday was Tuesday, December 2nd. The biggest and most exciting part of the day, was, of course, going to take his driver's test!! Fortunately we remembered to log in weeks ago to schedule the appointment on his birthday, which is necessary to do far in advance or the slots fill up.… Continue reading Sweet sixteen for Asher!
We had a great Thanksgiving! It's a little strange and wistful to me how quickly the holidays come and go.... and then in a blink they come around again.... Anyway, every year is special that we get to be together. 💕 Wednesday Our festivities kicked off on Wednesday evening. My parents arrived late afternoon just… Continue reading Thanksgiving 2025! (And thoughts on a big family decision)
Whoopsies, I ended my last post with "be back tomorrow to recap the wedding!", and that was.... 8 days ago. 😆 The short version of our Mexico trip is that it was essentially a 4 day long PARTY. Haha. It was a bit intense!! And also very fun. But I didn't have too much alone… Continue reading Oops, a very delayed wedding recap
After Halloween on Friday, we've had a fun and very enjoyable weekend! My parents arrived around 4 p.m. on Friday and stayed until ~11:15 a.m. today (Sunday), so we had a nice chunk of time with them. They came with us to Ethan's big Sectional Final soccer game at 1 p.m yesterday. Unfortunately, the weather… Continue reading The rest of the weekend
And here we are, 2 months to the end of 2025! What. We had a super nice, low-key Halloween. Very different from years ago, but still nice.

I was going to attempt to combine Sept and Oct but as soon as I started I was like, nope. Who am I kidding. I don't… Continue reading September 2025 Recap

Hi. 🙂 Things have not slowed down but we're in the home stretch now of my in-laws' visit. For me, we're down to 1 day! They don't fly back to Mexico until early Sunday morning, but I leave tomorrow bright and early for Nova Scotia!!! (!!!!!!!!!!!). By the time I get home late Monday night,… Continue reading Final stretch + the weekend
It's been a whole week since I've posted! I have not had much margin and frankly am feeling rather out of sorts, but there's been a lot of good stuff this week, too. I am feeling a need to do a brain dump/ vent session though, so... may I? Things that have me feeling stressed… Continue reading Highs/Lows, the week, etc.
Eek, it's been a little crazy! Last weekend we did sort of a mad rush to get the house cleaned, including the basement rec room/ guest room/ my office/ guest bathroom (which are the spaces that do not normally make it into our every-other-week cleaning routine), in anticipation of my in-laws arriving on Monday. But… Continue reading Thursday updates!
GRATEFUL KAE
