1) It’s officially Thanksgiving break. Asher actually has this entire week off! Lucky him. Ethan had school Monday and Tuesday, complete with several tests and quizzes. He’s done now until next Monday. I don’t really have much of a break. I mean, I’m obviously off Thursday, but I didn’t take Friday off. Due to the… Continue reading Vacation Hours + other Tuesday Misc.
At a wedding tonight for one of Ivan’s friend’s sons! Thoughts: 1) Having fun! 2) I really wish I were a good Latin dancer. 3) Mexican weddings are the same, but also, very different. 🙂 Felicidades a los novios! 🥂
Charlie watching Asher walk away from the car on his way to school Outfit of the day: posting keeps me accountable and not in the same leggings/hoodie combo I am tempted to wear on repeat. (Not sure if these OOTD posts are fun or annoying?) Friday night date night moved to Thursday (for various reasons).… Continue reading 3 Things Thursday: photo edition
So far this week, my sleep schedule has looked like: Monday night: Bed 11:00 Woke up ~4:15 a.m. and couldn't fall back to sleep. Argh.

🔷 A 50 foot dog leash We have a fenced in yard, but our backyard also has a lot of landscaping beds and other places Charlie can get into mischief. He is also definitely still working on recall (i.e. coming to us when called) and currently has very selective hearing. 😆 Letting him off leash… Continue reading A few good recent purchases!
I mentioned I joined an "Advice for New Puppy Owners" Facebook group recently. It's been both interesting and helpful. It's a very active group, and people post questions, discussion, advice, etc. It's been nice to know there are other people "in my same boat", learning as they go and figuring out all this puppy stuff.… Continue reading Overdoing everything
Sneaking this in at the last hour! Can't miss a day in NaBloPoMo. I just got home from the gym about 20 minutes ago. It's currently 8:59 p.m. Inspired by Kelsey on the recent Girl Next Door podcast, I have been really trying to get a little creative with my workout schedule. On their great… Continue reading Late night post
These last few weeks we've been trying to weed out some of the boys' old things. Specifically, jackets. We have a rather large stockpile of very nice but now too small coats and jackets that have been accumulating in our basement closet. Some are dressier styles, some are fleeces, some are 3-in-1 winter jackets, etc.… Continue reading Selling stuff and a nice message
Halloween is over, so Christmas is somehow on the horizon already. First order of business.... take down my Halloween stuff. Which is all definitely still up, including the orange outdoor lights.
