I haven't really been in the mood to blog this week! Which is weird, and I'm not sure why. All is well- just maybe needed a little break, I guess. 🙂 I have been pretty busy with a work project that I NEED to have wrapped up before we leave for Florida in just over… Continue reading Quick updates
1. Writing off a day --> turning it around On Wednesday I had a crummy day. I was just in a "mood", everything was sort of annoying me, I felt unfocused and distracted and irritated with life. Fortunately I do not have these sorts of days too often, but I suppose they happen to all… Continue reading Friday 5: summer misc.
So, Ethan turned 17 on Saturday and as I just typed that title, it flashed through my head for the first time that this is his last year of childhood. I mean, technically, according to the definitions. 😭😭😭😭 I feel ever more grateful that given his summer birthday/ boy status we opted to hold him… Continue reading 17!!
I have settled into what feels like a really good, happy place right now with my workouts. I'm not doing anything drastically different than usual, but my routine needed some tweaking. After some bouncing around, I feel like I've found something that really works. What wasn't working: -Being very inconsistent with cardio, despite my goal… Continue reading Workout wins + making it easy
Recently, in either her newsletter or daily Substack, Laura was talking about the passage of time and ways we can attempt to slow it down a bit. She said that one thing we can do is to reflect on what made today different. Part of what makes time blur together is when we have too… Continue reading A fun journal prompt
As we anticipated, they deemed Ethan's car a "total loss", unfortunately. We are currently sorting out what this means for us. Option 1 of course would be to take the money and buy a different car. Option 2 is to get the car back, take a little bit less money on the payout, and pay… Continue reading Car update
June, where did you go?! June ZOOMED by for me, minus the week we were away in Copenhagen. That week actually slowed down, in a good way, likely due to all of the new experiences. June 1-10 was mostly spent prepping for trip (and thinking about luggage 😅), finishing up work tasks and Asher's end… Continue reading June 2025 Recap
Overall, this was a really nice weekend! Some highlights include: 🔷Walking to a new coffee shop with Ivan (only <10 min from home!). It's actually the location where our gym used to have a 24 hour location. Kinda funny to see the space revamped and now full of muffins and pastries and coffee treats instead… Continue reading Weekend highs and a big low
Kid-Free days! This work week started out smoothly, but seemed to rapidly accelerate. My Wednesday and Thursday were pretty jam-packed with meetings and calls and it became a little overstimulating! On the plus side, we ended up with a few kid-free days. This is very rare for us. But after a lot of "togetherness" in… Continue reading Unexpected kid-free days + a dog sitter strikeout
Jet lag: So, I am not good with jet lag. Sadly, I don't think I'm actually cut out to be a frequent world traveler, lol. I guess in fairness, it hasn't been that bad. But I remember after London, and now again with this trip, I just definitely felt it, and seemingly worse than anyone… Continue reading Jet lag + dog boarding
GRATEFUL KAE
