We had early dinner reservations at 5:30 and I had a meeting until 5.... Thursday- Ethan's soccer game in Verona at 7 pm (35 min away), picked up… Continue reading A quick Friday post
When I posted last time, it was Wednesday and I still felt rather frazzled. I'm happy to report that things finally feel like they're settling down. We had a busy but overall nice week. Like I mentioned, we attended a Senior Parent Meeting on Wednesday at Ethan's school. Of course, LOTS of "college application" talk… Continue reading Settling down
I still have 1 more Florida recap to write, but haven't had a chance. I wanted to pop in and say hi and give a little update though. Re-entry In terms of post vacation re-entry, this was one of our best yet! We were away for a total of 9 nights and got home Sunday… Continue reading Touching base!

So I'm catching a ride… Continue reading Tuesday misc. and GARTH DAY!

For some reason it didn't really feel like that, though? Maybe because work was intense last week. There's… Continue reading Sunday style scenes #2 and the week

Or, it's a lull until the next two years when I'll have seniors and I think there's more of a flurry again as senior year wraps up. Never fear, there was still plenty of… Continue reading May 2026 Recap
Last week I talked about my ongoing battle with my closet. Not a new topic around here. (That, as well as me whining about overpacking.) I vowed to try taking pics of my daily outfits for a while. In the past, this has helped me actually wear some different things, be a bit more mindful,… Continue reading Saturday style scenes
I listed as a "fun goal" for May to walk to the new(ish) coffee shop by my house on a nice day and work there for a while. It's literally a <10 minute walk! Well, today was the day. My mom wanted to go for a walk and I had about 1 hour 15 minutes… Continue reading A May fun goal ✅
