OFFICEYesterday morning the hospital wide software system we use went down and I… Continue reading A little organization + a new summer schedule!

Gratitude in Action

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.

The boys are not happy about it, I could probably live without them for a couple more days 😉 … Only my parents are probably breathing… Continue reading All good things must come to an end
Bye!!!!!!
Yesterday a strange thing happened. My kids went somewhere. Away from home. Away from me! Away from us. And I don’t just mean outside to the neighbor’s yard for an hour! We packed up their things and they climbed in the car with my Mom and drove over an hour away to stay at my… Continue reading Bye!!!!!!
Summer Routine
Today is Day 2 of what I call our “official summer break”.Their "last day of school" pictureSo far, we’ve mostly been winging it schedule wise, which has been overall okay (for now....) I felt perfectly fine last week just letting the boys do basically whatever they wanted- that first week or so I always think… Continue reading Summer Routine
Last Day of School
Happy Friday! Today is officially my boys’ last day of school, although we basically called it as of like, Tuesday. 😊 They really didn’t have any real “work” this week- just some fun, optional virtual activities and things like that. I mostly gave them a free pass the rest of the week to just do whatever… Continue reading Last Day of School
Bedtime Woes and Bad Habits
Last week I wrote a post about habits, so this has been on my mind all week. I’ve noticed a couple “bad habits” sneaking into our household a bit during this lock down time. Maybe it's not even really fair to call them "habits"- more like "routines that might not be the best to continue… Continue reading Bedtime Woes and Bad Habits
