YAWN. Sleepy morning over here and kind of a funny one, too. Last night a couple of Ethan's friends came over for a bonfire as sort of a mini birthday party with friends- though "party" is a very loose term here, as it was just a small gathering of the boys playing outside mostly. Ethan got… Continue reading Our (very) brief stint as dog owners 😉

A good day
The good thing about a bad day is that it’s usually followed by a good day. That’s my experience, anyway. I don’t too oftenhave multiple bad days in a row, maybe because the bad day forces me to stop and re-evaluate WHY it was a bad day and make some intentional changes to avoid another… Continue reading A good day
The hug of all hugs
Oof that was a lot of activity this weekend! After months of hanging out on the sidelines, figuratively speaking, I felt like I was suddenly thrown back in the game this weekend!

Not because I have it all figured out, but just an example of how I’m trying to personally implement gratitude in my own life.The other night the boys had their first virtual… Continue reading Gratitude in Action
Someone crashed my early morning hours!
I am writing this later than usual on this beautiful Sunday morning, since this guy ↓decided he wanted to go swim laps at 6:05 a.m. this morning! We were going to go yesterday afternoon, but it was hot and we ended up just feeling lazy, so we cancelled and rescheduled for bright and early today.… Continue reading Someone crashed my early morning hours!
Let it Rain! And Goodbye, Dear Neighbor :(
This is our forecast here for today:Looks like rain, huh? Ah, that’s okay. I’m kind of in the mood for a rainy day. We have had a stretch of some beautiful, hot weather for the most part, and this weekend looks like it will be mid-80’s and sunny too. Like I’ve mentioned before, Fridays are generally… Continue reading Let it Rain! And Goodbye, Dear Neighbor 😦
Approaching the TEENAGE years. OMG.
Ivan and I spent a little time last night hashing out a birthday gift list for Ethan. His birthday is coming up in just a couple weeks, so we need to get going. Especially with any shipping delays, I feel like we probably should have had any important/ bigger items ordered by now! I have… Continue reading Approaching the TEENAGE years. OMG.
All good things must come to an end
