I'm apparently getting old and am losing my endurance for high levels of activity. After our busy, fun-filled day on Friday, I just felt kinda lazy yesterday. It was another gorgeous day, and part of me felt like we should be heading out again somewhere to cherish it!! I briefly contemplated going hiking, biking, corn mazing,… Continue reading Weekend Vibes
The kids crossing the field together. 💓 So beautiful.Like I mentioned, we took a little road trip yesterday to visit our old neighbors who moved away in August, out into the country 2 hours north of us. The boys and the little girl grew up together, and were best of friends. The tres amigos hadn't seen… Continue reading Bliss
In no particular order... some randomness:1. Day off!I took the day off today. The boys have a "no school" day, the weather looks amazing and I decided to join them in a free day. We were going to maybe hit up a corn maze, but we ended up making plans to head up north ~2 hours… Continue reading Day off + Other Misc.
Another fresh week, and the first full week of a new month. I don't mind Mondays. They always feel full of promise and optimism to me. Nothing has gone wrong, yet! 🙂 The weekend was nice. We had "swim Saturday" and "soccer Sunday". Ethan had a game around ~1 hour away yesterday morning. It wasn't far… Continue reading A New Week and Habit Tracking
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 🙂
GRATEFUL KAE
