Just a little life update today... Life definitely feels much fuller and busier again than a few months ago. It's that slow creep, like what happens with weight gain, or spending too much money. 😁 Overall it feels nice to have a sense of "normalcy" again, even though many areas of life still aren't really… Continue reading Little Life Update
Happy Fall! It has arrived. Yesterday was the first official day of autumn. I celebrated by pulling out my fall wreath for the front door and putting the summer one away. I am seeing all the talk of fall everywhere this week - lots of "fall" themed podcast episodes are popping up on my feed, fall images… Continue reading Happy Fall
I need a happy story today. I stayed up too late watching some news and ended up going to bed with a pit in my stomach. When I woke up, my mind went right back to it all and the pit returned. I need to stop thinking about that and focus on something positive. So, I think… Continue reading A Mexican tradition
It has rained here ALL week. Literally, it has felt like just a steady stream of drizzle to moderate rain almost constantly for days now.I don't really mind spurts like this, if I don't have much going on. It feels like a good excuse to be lazy or curl up and watch TV or something.… Continue reading An unexpected reset
3 day weekend, complete. On to the....first "real" week of school! Technically the boys started last week Thursday, but it was super light. Too light, in my opinion, after months and months with no school, but I digress. Anyway, they basically just had a couple check ins with their teachers and worked through a few "techy" things… Continue reading Life, and a SPLURGE!
Hello, friends! I am back. In case you were worried that I had been gobbled up by a shark at the beach, or, even worse, decided to stop blogging (!), rest assured, all is well. We got home late in the evening on Tuesday. We did the mad dash to unload the car before we all… Continue reading No, I haven’t been eaten by a shark 🙂
Just popping in here to say HI from Panama City Beach!We left home Saturday morning and drove to Tennessee by that evening, staying overnight in a hotel. The next morning we hit the road again and stopped for lunch in Montgomery, Alabama. We originally had planned to just grab Subway or something at any old… Continue reading Hi from the beach!
Well, I took my little moment yesterday to pout (again) about our Europe trip being cancelled and today I'm moving on! Honestly, I was already mostly "over it"...we've known the trip was cancelled for a long time now. The disappointment had already been processed, repeatedly, and the shock/anger/frustration had largely dulled. But it still hit me… Continue reading Vacation 2.0
I really hadn't realized it, but we had not seen PEOPLE in a really, really long time. I mean, we have "kind of" seen some people- obviously we now see my parents, we went to a friend's for a bonfire a few weeks ago and I've seen my neighbors out and about. But in terms of… Continue reading People!!
I was surprised by how many people online seemed interested in knowing more about our U.P. trip or said the U.P. was on their bucket list to visit, so here is a very long, detailed trip report (with lots of pictures!) for anyone who is interested! Feel free to drop any questions you might have… Continue reading Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park/ U.P. Michigan Trip Report
