Weekend: Asher was away this weekend (he's still away in Florida at swim camp- it's going great!) which felt weird! This weekend was probably my first WIDE OPEN weekend in forever- no soccer games or kids events of any kind! Ethan worked 7-3 both days, so with Asher gone, this was extra weird! I was… Continue reading Weekend + clothes + closet app
Not sure why I sometimes find it oddly therapeutic to share my to-do list with the world, but, I do. 🙂 With our Mexico trip coming up relatively soon, I'm feeling a little pressure to make sure I have my back-to-school ducks in a row before we go. When we get back, it will be… Continue reading To do list & Mexico planning
Another thing I did on my free weekend was to sit down on Saturday morning and methodically check off a big list of Life Admin tasks that had been looming on my to do list for WAY too long. They included: renew my license plates (online) log in to Beachbody and update my membership from… Continue reading Life Admin
While Ivan and Asher were away this past weekend, I finally had time to tackle a big, nagging to do item: CLEAN OUT MY CLOSET. The problem: I haven't been feeling super awesome about my wardrobe this past year. Not 100% sure why. I am now suspecting, after doing some closer surveying of the situation,… Continue reading OMG- my closet
I did some actual CARDIO at the gym yesterday (the stairmill) after my shoulders/triceps workout. Crazy, I know, because I'm not usually big on traditional cardio. While I climbed stairs, I listened to this recent The Mom Hour episode about household chores. It got me thinking about a couple of things: #1- It would be… Continue reading Kids, Chores and Allowances
Something simultaneously exciting, yet very SAD, happened at our house yesterday.... We got the big, dead tree in our yard cut down!! Exciting- because this was a very necessary thing, and I'm glad to finally be able to "check it off the list". (We've been trying to have this done for over a year! The… Continue reading Trees and Job Interviews
Happy Friday! I feel like I need a few days off, preferably before the boys get done with school on May 26th. I'm going a bit nuts with a bunch of lingering "projects" that I just don't seem to have time to get to. Yes, I have some free time that maybe I could "use… Continue reading Nagging to-dos, no time
Good morning....I've been up since about 4:18 a.m., when I woke suddenly from dream. In the dream, I had felt a little something under my pillow. So, (in the dream), I of course moved my pillow, and found dozens of SPIDERS crawling all over the bed! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like, big, black, disgusting spiders!! Ivan and I… Continue reading Workday appointments, resisting temptation and spider dreams
Part A: Why does it always seem to take 3 hours to clean up from dinner? Seriously, is this just me? It doesn't matter what we have, it seems like it always takes forever to fully clean up the kitchen!! And I do generally recruit help- it's not like everyone just ditches me. (Though, I'll… Continue reading A burning dinner question + 2 gratitude quotes
Good morning! Bonus pic above unrelated to rest of post: from my walk yesterday morning. This whole past week has involved a lot of carrying stuff from one place and putting it in another. It was a week ago already that we had the new carpet installed in the bedrooms, but I finally feel now… Continue reading New bedrooms- sneak peek
