Something I'm loving eating this week: Ivan's pico de gallo! He made nachos on Sunday night, and he always makes a big bowl of pico de gallo to top the nachos with. We had leftovers, so I have repurposed the pico de gallo multiple times now. 1st: As a salad topper! Chicken, apple, black pepper,… Continue reading Whatever Wednesday
This is definitely the "busy season" for many people, especially moms. You hear a lot about it....every year is the same. Everyone is stressed and harried and HAVING FUN and MAKING MEMORIES, people! 🙂 I'm guilty, too. I'm busy. I have a long to do list. It feels overwhelming. Some things are "want to dos",… Continue reading Christmas crazies and Bad Moms
I feel like this has been a very "random" week in blog posts, so, sorry?? Or not, if you like them this way. 🙂 Of course, I must commemorate Asher's 1st covid vaccine yesterday, for the sake of memory keeping and tracking this whole pandemic (in my own way) via blog posts. All went well!… Continue reading 3 Things Thursday
Monday was...okay. Really not going to be a day to go down in the history books or even my memory bank beyond probably today. HA. The thing is, if I enter the week with any sense of "chaos" in my head, I have the hardest time dialing in to focus and concentrate. And that was… Continue reading Still not ready for the week, but oh well
I'm sitting here taking a few deep breaths, not really feeling at all ready for a new week to start!!!! I had a nice weekend, but it tipped very far to the "kids/ activities" side of the scale. Saturday started BRIGHT and early getting Asher up and off to 7:15 a.m. swim practice. By 8… Continue reading Not ready for the week
1- Christmas music is BACK! Last night in the car, Asher turned the radio on, and bam. There it was. "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree." I am not sad about this. No, it's not too early. No, it's not annoying. 😁 I love Christmas music. It feels almost impossible to be down when you are… Continue reading Couple good things
My mom brought me a box of my old cello music last weekend, to see if there was anything in there I wanted to keep. It was a little trip down memory lane, seeing pieces I had played with my string quartet in high school, or songs I played for competitions. 🙂 Anyway, there were… Continue reading Flashback to 1996 planning style, and a personal question
Starting with positive news: We got new carpet installed yesterday!!! (in our 3 main level bedrooms) Now for the negative news: We got new carpet installed yesterday!!! Just kidding. It is good news, and I'm very happy, and grateful. The carpet looks (and feels) great. But omg, I'm exhausted right now. Prep + Clutter..... Tuesday… Continue reading The clutter is killing me…
Coco asked me yesterday how I kept track of everything for the "weekly audit" review I posted. In reality, I don't normally keep track of my week exactly according to those categories. Yesterday morning I sat down in a special attempt to do a weekly audit, and brainstormed those 7 categories as general areas of… Continue reading More on weekly audit + ?? TRAVEL and other misc.
I was listening to a short Before Breakfast episode this morning while I put my contact lenses in, and Laura mentioned the idea of doing a brief review of your previous week on Monday mornings, to reflect on what went well and what didn't the week before. Since I keep my little daily journal tracking… Continue reading An audit of the week
