Whew this was a busy Saturday. I had a list a mile long of things I wanted/needed to do this weekend. Unfortunately I can't say I checked everything off, but I did check off some big things, so, that's a win. Of course, as usually happens, I also did several things that were not on… Continue reading Lots of things + some wins
Jenny's post today was a little summary of 2 of my recent posts that she enjoyed, so I'm going to pay it forward to another blogger and share about 2 blog posts that I have enjoyed this week! Both are from Laura Vanderkam (actually one was from her Substack). #1. Get the pebble out of… Continue reading Recent posts I liked
Last night I had just enough time in between work and the swim team meeting at 6:30 to take Charlie on a walk on our "longer" loop. I usually listen to podcasts (or nothing) while I walk, but it was already dark out and yet I felt in an oddly peppy mood, so I decided… Continue reading Standing outside the fire
After Halloween on Friday, we've had a fun and very enjoyable weekend! My parents arrived around 4 p.m. on Friday and stayed until ~11:15 a.m. today (Sunday), so we had a nice chunk of time with them. They came with us to Ethan's big Sectional Final soccer game at 1 p.m yesterday. Unfortunately, the weather… Continue reading The rest of the weekend
And here we are, 2 months to the end of 2025! What. We had a super nice, low-key Halloween. Very different from years ago, but still nice. Our family tradition for Halloween is that I make chili and we have salad + French bread + Halloween cupcakes (or, cake, if you forgot to buy the… Continue reading November already!
Well, I went to write my October Recap and realized that I never wrote my September Recap! I can't have that!! I have not missed a single other month. I was going to attempt to combine Sept and Oct but as soon as I started I was like, nope. Who am I kidding. I don't… Continue reading September 2025 Recap
First of all, thank you for such amazing and robust comments on my travel hacking post the other day!! I can see that it's sort of a "polarizing" topic, with people having quite strong arguments for and against it. I haven't had a chance to respond to all your comments yet, but I will soon,… Continue reading Tuesday randomness
Argh, I still have not had a spare second to sort my final Nova Scotia pics and get that post up. BUT I WILL! Because the last days were incredible and deserve all the attention too! So please stay tuned... hopefully soon...😫 (Promise you won't skip it just because it's late!!!) It feels like so… Continue reading Some days in the life
for a real time update. I still have 2 days left to recap from the Nova Scotia trip (well, 1 full day plus our departure day, which still included some fun bits!), but that is not happening today. I do have a couple minutes though, so I thought I'd just pop on quickly for a… Continue reading Interrupting your regularly scheduled programming…
Hi. 🙂 Things have not slowed down but we're in the home stretch now of my in-laws' visit. For me, we're down to 1 day! They don't fly back to Mexico until early Sunday morning, but I leave tomorrow bright and early for Nova Scotia!!! (!!!!!!!!!!!). By the time I get home late Monday night,… Continue reading Final stretch + the weekend
