Kid-Free days! This work week started out smoothly, but seemed to rapidly accelerate. My Wednesday and Thursday were pretty jam-packed with meetings and calls and it became a little overstimulating! On the plus side, we ended up with a few kid-free days. This is very rare for us. But after a lot of "togetherness" in… Continue reading Unexpected kid-free days + a dog sitter strikeout
Jet lag: So, I am not good with jet lag. Sadly, I don't think I'm actually cut out to be a frequent world traveler, lol. I guess in fairness, it hasn't been that bad. But I remember after London, and now again with this trip, I just definitely felt it, and seemingly worse than anyone… Continue reading Jet lag + dog boarding
May was a good month overall! The weather FINALLY starts to feel like spring in May around here and it is amazing. I have never really been a "super impacted by the weather" person, but maybe I am becoming one in my old age. lol. I just felt extra blah for a long time during… Continue reading May 2025 Recap
Well, my ~5 day blogging streak last week was nice while it lasted! Ha. I then swiftly rebounded with a 5 day no blogging streak. 🤷♀️ In part, I was just busy doing other things, and also, I'm not sure my "modified" Whole 30 is really quite as interesting! I had the NICEST weekend, though!!… Continue reading Perfect weekend
Well, I think I made it pretty clear in yesterday's post that I was, errr, having some cold feet. I always like the IDEA of challenges, but when it comes right down to it, I think I don't actually like them!!! haha. At least maybe not in this phase of my life. 30 days is… Continue reading Whole 30 Day 5: pivot….
First off, I realized I never shared the boys' Mother's Day cards. They were very sweet, and also very different, which actually made me smile, because the boys are different, of course! Asher, who is naturally artistic but sadly is not currently doing anything to continue fostering this (he used to do a ton of… Continue reading Things we’ve been up to/ Misc. Updates
Seeing as I really went down the Colorado/Utah rabbit hole this past week, I'm due for a "regular post". Backing up to Mother's Day weekend! From that long laundry list I wrote on Saturday morning, I guess I did okay. I mean, I'm not delusional- I didn't think I was going to do all of… Continue reading Mid-week updates
I have an extra skip in my step this weekend because the weather forecast is SO GOOD!!!!! As often has been happening to me on the weekends lately, I feel a little paralyzed, though. I technically have a lot of open space this weekend! But I have no real plans, yet, and can't quite decide… Continue reading Happy weekend!
We're down to the final stretch of the school year already. WHAT?!??! Ethan gets done in less than 2 weeks!! AP exams are this week, then one more week of classes before finals May 19-21. This summer, Ethan's main plans are: working (he just got a new job at Panera) daily lifting/conditioning at school (I… Continue reading Summer plans + thoughts on the end of sports
My mom was in town this past week! So, I've been a little quiet in the blogosphere and just doing other things! It was so nice to have her here. She comes like this, alone, now and then and while of course I love to have both of my parents here, it's just a little… Continue reading Tuesday misc.
GRATEFUL KAE
