*Today I'm jumping back to our Colorado/Utah trip! See Days 1-3 (Vail/Glenwood Springs) and Days 4-6 (Moab, Utah).* Wednesday, August 14, 2019 Continuing on! On Thursday we had to say goodbye to Moab. Boo. I really, really, REALLY loved the place we stayed in Moab, and honestly, everything about the Moab area. Outside our condo,… Continue reading Colorado/Utah Trip Day 7: Mesa Verde National Park
So, Ethan turned 17 on Saturday and as I just typed that title, it flashed through my head for the first time that this is his last year of childhood. I mean, technically, according to the definitions. 😭😭😭😭 I feel ever more grateful that given his summer birthday/ boy status we opted to hold him… Continue reading 17!!
The 4th so kindly fell on a Friday this year, which meant we had the whole weekend off after and this was SO NICE. (It is sort of a pet peeve of mine that a holiday which traditionally involves later night fireworks and family gatherings doesn't naturally come with the following day off as a… Continue reading 4th of July, 2025 Weekend!
June, where did you go?! June ZOOMED by for me, minus the week we were away in Copenhagen. That week actually slowed down, in a good way, likely due to all of the new experiences. June 1-10 was mostly spent prepping for trip (and thinking about luggage 😅), finishing up work tasks and Asher's end… Continue reading June 2025 Recap
May was a good month overall! The weather FINALLY starts to feel like spring in May around here and it is amazing. I have never really been a "super impacted by the weather" person, but maybe I am becoming one in my old age. lol. I just felt extra blah for a long time during… Continue reading May 2025 Recap
Well, my ~5 day blogging streak last week was nice while it lasted! Ha. I then swiftly rebounded with a 5 day no blogging streak. 🤷♀️ In part, I was just busy doing other things, and also, I'm not sure my "modified" Whole 30 is really quite as interesting! I had the NICEST weekend, though!!… Continue reading Perfect weekend
First off, I realized I never shared the boys' Mother's Day cards. They were very sweet, and also very different, which actually made me smile, because the boys are different, of course! Asher, who is naturally artistic but sadly is not currently doing anything to continue fostering this (he used to do a ton of… Continue reading Things we’ve been up to/ Misc. Updates
Seeing as I really went down the Colorado/Utah rabbit hole this past week, I'm due for a "regular post". Backing up to Mother's Day weekend! From that long laundry list I wrote on Saturday morning, I guess I did okay. I mean, I'm not delusional- I didn't think I was going to do all of… Continue reading Mid-week updates
It's Sunday morning, and our houseguests are gone! They left last night. It all went really well! I mentioned I was apprehensive, because our guests included Ivan's friend/wife/daughters (who I know) but also his friend's parents and mother-in-law (who I did not know). Also, we just don't host people a lot, besides immediate family (which… Continue reading Our houseguest weekend= success!
Our Year: 2024 January Rang in the new year in Mexico! Hiked the Toluca Volcano and met our baby niece. Started a new lifting program! (Momentum by Sohee). Worked on pull-ups (still terrible at them). Dabbled in running...? (quit). Lots of work changes. Helped boys plan high school courses! Bathroom remodel continues. Watched a lot… Continue reading 2024 Rapid-Fire Year in Review
