I knew on Monday that the end of this week was gonna kind of kick my butt, mostly due to an imbalance of meetings, etc on the back half. Fortunately, it wasn't actually as bad as it would have been, due to a couple of handy cancellations. 🎉🎉 I kind of lost any good blogging… Continue reading Happy Friday!

Thursday updates
I was going to title this "Asher Updates" but figured he might not like to have his name in the TITLE. haha. But, these updates are all related to Asher. Volleyball Banquet On Monday night we went to his end-of-season volleyball banquet at school. They had nets up in the gym, so all the boys… Continue reading Thursday updates
2024 Goals update
This has not been the year of my "annual goals". Honestly I can't even remember if I shared my list. I may not have, in part because the last few years, I've made lofty lists and then more or less forget about them. Not to say I haven't done a lot of things! But I… Continue reading 2024 Goals update
It’s Christmas in my office + idea request
I finally cleaned my office yesterday. I aim to do this monthly, but it gets away from me sometimes. It's not a large chore, but you know how it goes. It's important, though, because as things pile up and it literally starts to get dusty, I obviously just don't feel my most centered and professional!… Continue reading It’s Christmas in my office + idea request
Quick Sunday post/ dinner woes update/ other misc
It's a gloomy, rainy Sunday here and all I feel like doing right now is cuddling up with a blanket and.... well, that's about it. Haha. But I've been puttering around on the computer for too long now already (caught up on some blog comments, sketched out a MEAL PLAN for the week, etc.), and… Continue reading Quick Sunday post/ dinner woes update/ other misc
Vertical ownership
I peeked back in my "Blog Ideas" folder in Google Keep and saw I had once jotted down that I wanted to talk about Vertical Ownership regarding household responsibilities (aka "who does what"). I'll keep this specific to between me and Ivan, not counting stuff the boys help out with. IVAN: -cell phone related stuff-… Continue reading Vertical ownership
NaBloPoMo Day 1! And Halloween 2024
Yay, NaBloPoMo is here! I already laid out my plan, but in case you missed it, it's: post every day in November my posts must be <500 words (*I might make an exception for the quinceanera recap which I still haven't gotten around to) no daily themes. I'm not a "theme blogger" and I generally… Continue reading NaBloPoMo Day 1! And Halloween 2024
A P-Free Zone
Happy Halloween! I hope you all have a spooky and fun day wearing orange and black or dressing up or doing whatever it is that you do. 🎃 I want to address something important today. In case you hadn't heard, the U.S. is about to have an election! I mean, who knew?! 😆 Of course,… Continue reading A P-Free Zone
Why is this always so hard
Yes, a dramatic title.... to talk about cooking + meal planning. Seriously though, why does this always feel so hard?! It annoys the living daylights out of me, for various reasons. First, compared to I think a lot of families, we don't even cook that much. We are not above eating out pretty frequently. 🤷♀️… Continue reading Why is this always so hard
Squeezing in some fall fun, a planning challenge, and Monday misc.
I still need to get one more Mexico post up (to recap the actual quinceanera!) but not feeling like sorting through all those pictures today. I think I'll just do a Monday Misc. post here with some random, real time life updates. 🙂 Charlie sleeping: First, how sweet is this pic of Charlie? I took… Continue reading Squeezing in some fall fun, a planning challenge, and Monday misc.
