1) Charlie Update You guys. I have THE BEST dog ever. Seriously, I am just obsessed with my little Charlie. I mean, I have been since we got him, but I am extra obsessed with him lately. He is 8.5 months old now (!! How!!!?) and has just really settled in and settled down. He… Continue reading Thursday Things: Puppy + Fashion
This past weekend was so fun!!! A bit of a busy whirlwind trip, but so fun. Ethan had a soccer game in Minneapolis, which is about a 4 hour drive from our house. (It was supposed to be two games, but ended up being only one- long story.) When I'd heard about the Minneapolis games,… Continue reading Minneapolis fun + friends!!
Hello! It's been a few days. The weekend was busy with Asher's State swim meet. (He was a relay-only swimmer, Saturday and Sunday.) We met my parents for dinner on Friday night on the way into town, and then were up and gone pretty early both Saturday and Sunday for the meet. He did well… Continue reading Weekend updates and (annual?) pandemic flashbacks
Eek, I sort of "missed" the end of February and the whole Leap Year fun. I don't feel like I exactly rounded out February in a nice, neat way, either. Oh well. I still have some lingering tasks from my Monthly list but maybe I can tackle those this weekend. (Specifically, I want to review… Continue reading Friday/ New month!
1) I was walking Charlie the other afternoon, on one of our surprise-spring-warm-days (not today which is absolutely frigid again). As I approached this one corner house, I saw 2 little boys playing in the front yard. Maybe... 4 and 6? 5 and 7? Somewhere in there. Anyway, it was such a nice day and… Continue reading Random…Thoughts from A Walk with Charlie
Decluttering success I've (finally) made some decent recent progress in some house decluttering projects, after feeling very stalled out for a while there. Last fall I made a Google Keep label called "House - TO DO LIST", and then made a separate note for each area of our house. I literally went to each room… Continue reading Forward progress, slowly
I'm happy to report that my bad week has generally settled down. Things have still felt just a little crazy, but at least Charlie is finally doing better!! Charlie Update: So, I had mentioned he had chewed up a lamp cord last week, followed by a week of nighttime wakings with loose stools. (I did… Continue reading Sunday updates
Argh, today is not my day! This is not feeling like my week! I keep feeling "squished" (ie pressure, issues, things I have to do) from all sides and I'm annoyed. Sleep (p.s. sorry if this part is Too Much Information): A large portion of the problem is lack of sleep, I think. Charlie seemed… Continue reading Stop squishing me
A little shopping + minimalism fail: Saturday my mom and I ran some errands; I had to deal with a couple of returns, stopped at a couple of stores, and got my van washed! I also ran across these cute Adidas hats: I really like wearing hats- especially when we travel, but also sometimes to… Continue reading Recent happenings, etc.
Whew, February already! 1 month in to the new year. (Everyone always says January feels so long, but it just felt... average, I think, to me. Possibly because we were out of town until January 6th?) I love the rapid-fire style recaps I've seen this week (Coco and Sarah) and have done these myself in… Continue reading January 2024 Recap
GRATEFUL KAE
