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. Our family tradition for Halloween is that I make chili and we have salad + French bread + Halloween cupcakes (or, cake, if you forgot to buy the… Continue reading November already!
Well, I went to write my October Recap and realized that I never wrote my September Recap! I can't have that!! I have not missed a single other month. 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
Argh, I still have not had a spare second to sort my final Nova Scotia pics and get that post up. BUT I WILL! Because the last days were incredible and deserve all the attention too! So please stay tuned... hopefully soon...😫 (Promise you won't skip it just because it's late!!!) It feels like so… Continue reading Some days in the life
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!
Welp, it's September 20th and I'm just getting around to doing my August recap. Obviously I could skip it, BUT doing it makes 8/8 so far on monthly recaps this year! So I can't break the streak. 😉 Of course the downfall to writing it 20 days after the month ends is that now I… Continue reading August 2025 Recap
This weekend, we celebrated my mom!! She turned 75 on Friday!! a little blurry but I love this pic! 75 feels "big". Not gonna lie, 75 also sounds... kinda old. I remember when my parents turned 60, and I thought that while 60 was "older", it definitely wasn't old yet. In my mind, I guess… Continue reading A celebratory weekend (*with an unexpected darker turn in the post…*)
GRATEFUL KAE
