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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
The week/ weekend: This is a bit of a weird week, as I have just one week home sandwiched in between 2 weeks away. I was rather exhausted this past weekend after Nashville! I was glad to hear on a call yesterday that I was not alone. My boss said she took super long naps… Continue reading Sandwich week, fall stuff, etc.
Here we are, somehow 1 day away from the end of September! I read all the time management things and I think about this topic a lot, yet I still can't seem to figure out how to get time to slow down. (Though in other ways, September actually has simultaneously felt moderately long? I don't… Continue reading End of September
I have been feeling bummed lately that I just can't keep up in the blogosphere.... I know it's okay, but it's still a disappointment. I love this blogging community and I love writing here, but work has been SO BUSY. Mornings and evenings and in-betweens always seem so frequently spoken for, too! Argh. Anyway, I… Continue reading Night out + dog training
