A mini-getaway with Asher I'm up early on a Saturday because by ~08:00 I need to be ready to leave with Asher for an overnight swim meet. It's not too far- about a 1 hour drive. But this meet will be his first ever "Prelims/Finals" format meet. Meaning, the kids swim in the morning session,… Continue reading An overnight + shrimp soup recipe
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
Friday the boys didn't have school, so I took the morning off and we went to a pumpkin farm/ corn maze. At 11 and 13, they are getting a little bit past the "get super excited about a pumpkin patch" age....but they agreed to go. (I got the feeling that if I had said, "Oh,… Continue reading Moments to cherish
I think because it's been so warm, I'm having a hard time believing that it's already October 13th today. But it is! We haven't done too much yet in the way of "fall fun". I'm thinking this probably isn't going to be the year that we do "all the things" for fall. With the various… Continue reading Some fall fun
Hello hello! I didn't really intend to stop blogging for ~5 days, but I guess I did. Main reasons include: -Ivan is still in Mexico (gets home late tonight), so things have just been a little busier for me. -My parents came for the weekend (since I couldn't be in multiple places at once with… Continue reading I’m such a sucker! Back to volunteering….
I picked Asher up from cross country the other day, and when he got in the car and I asked about his day, he said, "Um... I got in trouble today." ???? Hmm??, I said. You did?? (concerned). (Fortunately, my boys "getting in trouble" at school is VERY rare, thankfully. They are usually always very… Continue reading In Trouble
T to the G to the I to the F. This kinda felt like the longest short week ever! Pretty sure that my terrible night of sleep on Tuesday just really kickstarted it to be a bit rough. Plus it's just been a really full bunch of days. But the week has definitely been on… Continue reading 1st CC meet and TGIF
Ohhhhh my goodness you guys. My heart is literally bursting even now like 12 hours later. I have to share this story. So last night was Asher's first "mock" cross country meet (just his own team, at the school, during practice). But they had to run an official course around the soccer and baseball fields,… Continue reading My heart is bursting
3 things on my mind today: Remote Training So our new nurse data analyst started on Monday (yay!). I mentioned before she is a nurse I used to work with, so I already knew her. She's great. I am the primary person training her, so I've spent a lot of time lately getting ready for… Continue reading Remote training, writing and 14 years
We are currently sitting pretty here on this first week of school, because fall activities aren't quite in full swing yet. I just spent 10 minutes adding upcoming events/practices to my calendar though, so I thought I'd share what's on the docket. ETHAN: 🔷Soccer is his big one. Practice = 3x/ week Monday 5:30-7 (here… Continue reading Fall Activities
