One of my favorite things about working from home is, of course, the FLEXIBILITY. We badly needed groceries for a few days, but with soccer all weekend, it just never happened. (In large part just because no one actually wanted to go get groceries.) Come Monday night, when I thought I would run over to… Continue reading The joy of a midweek, morning grocery run
Quarantining = eating all meals at home, obviously...and besides one pizza last weekend, we haven't ordered out at all, either. As I said though yesterday, my work hours have been a little wacky. I haven't really felt like I have had an abundance of free time, probably due to working until later in the day.… Continue reading Meals + leisure
My big accomplishment of the day yesterday was that I didn't get in my car or have to go anywhere in the entire day. 🙂 I know we are all supposed to still be staying home, and for the most part, we are. We really don't go anywhere too exciting these days, but with the… Continue reading Housekeeping- cleaning & meals
Working in healthcare for over 15 years now, I've obviously had a ton of experience with sick people. I've seen horrible cases in the hospital, of people who just can't catch a break. Families that suffer and struggle for years with chronic illness.You'd think that everyone who works in healthcare would walk around with a serious… Continue reading Perspective
I haven't talked much about cooking/ meal planning on this blog, because generally speaking, my meal planning and cooking style is pretty "fly by the seat of my pants". We (mostly, I) cook at home often, but it's honestly not super organized (though I have made more attempts recently to plan our meals). A few issues:#1:I… Continue reading Recipe storage….a possible epiphany?
I ended up missing my blogging window yesterday morning, thanks to a watermelon.Yes, a watermelon ruined my morning yesterday. Hmph. I have a pretty bad habit of buying large fruit items that require chopping and then letting them sit on the counter for many days before actually getting up the gumption to spend 10 minutes slicing/dicing/chopping/storing… Continue reading A strange household disaster
I need a happy story today. I stayed up too late watching some news and ended up going to bed with a pit in my stomach. When I woke up, my mind went right back to it all and the pit returned. I need to stop thinking about that and focus on something positive. So, I think… Continue reading A Mexican tradition
Ivan and I spent a little time last night hashing out a birthday gift list for Ethan. His birthday is coming up in just a couple weeks, so we need to get going. Especially with any shipping delays, I feel like we probably should have had any important/ bigger items ordered by now! I have… Continue reading Approaching the TEENAGE years. OMG.
I’ve been thinking about something, as things start to open back up and we have moved into Phase 2 here in Wisconsin. Throughout the strict pandemic lockdown, I assumed that as soon as things lifted, people would flood back out into the world, like horses charging out of the starting gate, desperate to get back… Continue reading Have we all become homebodies by choice?
Coming at you from the most BEAUTIFUL morning outside right now….warm and humid and very summer-like (trying to merge my love for being out on the deck on summer mornings with also wanting to write):Welp, today is the day! May 26, which is the official “lift” date of the Safer at Home order for my… Continue reading Here we go…Opening Day?
GRATEFUL KAE
