Okay, I'm back with my Personal goals. I aimed to come up with 5 for each domain to hopefully total 25. (As a reminder, my domains are Personal, Health/Fitness, Kids/Family, Household, and Other). 1. Read 25 for 25 This came to me when I saw "Read 25 minutes in 2025" is Gretchen Rubin's public challenge… Continue reading 2025 Goals: Personal
(I have nothing spooky or freaky to share in this post, besides deciding to title it "Freaky Friday" because it's Friday the 13th. 😆) 1- IT'S BEEN A WEEK. Outside of work, it's actually been a nice week in many ways. 🟡 I went to both of Asher's VB games this week (Monday and Wednesday)… Continue reading Freaky Friday 5
I am having difficulty wrapping my head around the fact that it's August! This has felt like the weirdest summer to me. And it's kind of almost over, but also kind of not. Ethan starts school in a week and a half, on August 15, but Asher doesn't go back until September 3! So that's… Continue reading AUGUST + soda + swim updates
Hey! Sorry to disappear. We went to my parents' house for 2 nights (Wed-Fri) for the 4th last week, and then the "extended family interpersonal situation" I mentioned recently escalated some over the weekend and has had my brain on the fritz. Since I'm the one who is home during the day (obviously working, but… Continue reading Steps woes and other updates

Eek, this is a hard post for me to write. Buckle up, it's a looong one. I have a big confession. I have a very bad habit that I have never really delved into on this blog but am going to today! I've maybe hinted at it here and there, and people with an observant… Continue reading BIG CONFESSION time + a life-altering mid-year goal
May 15th today! Halfway point through May. SO, how's it going? Overall, not as bad as I thought, really. We have had to do a fair amount of picking and choosing/ skipping things, which in some ways I suppose is unfortunate, but also has helped wield down the number of things from this list. I… Continue reading How the month is going
I shared my fitness goals the other day, which are going well so far EXCEPT for one thing. My "do morning workouts" goal was based on the idea that it is the one time slot in the day that I can generally always count on. Everyone else is sleeping, there's no soccer practice then, etc.… Continue reading (Attempted) morning derailment….
Officially September! I am pretty happy with certain aspects of my life in these past few weeks. A few areas - not so good. But overall, I think I have more WINS than FAILS. August Wins 1- extremely consistent workouts! On week 5 of my monthly strength plan and haven't missed a strength workout yet.… Continue reading August Wins and Podcast Recs
I've heard a few good nuggets lately that have stuck with me and been rolling around in my head. Figured I'd share! + Laura's blog post titled "If others can, you can." She talks about how it can be helpful to remember, whenever you're feeling overwhelmed or incapable of something, that usually many other people… Continue reading A few things inspiring me + a Facebook update
GRATEFUL KAE
