Happy Saturday, annnnnd, it's snowing right now. For the love of Pete, can the snow please go away already?!?! 😩😩 On the bright side, I am not the parent who had to leave by 6 a.m. to drive Asher one hour away to a 7:45 a.m. soccer tournament. I am the parent sitting with a… Continue reading Misc. Saturday: a dog, 1st high school event and a personality test!

Back in present voice!
Hi!!! I am officially back. Well, we have been back for over a week now (since March 25), but I am finally back here in present day voice. I told myself that I was not allowed to resume posting any "regular" blog posts until I had completed my remaining trip recaps. I did this for… Continue reading Back in present voice!
A Monday at the end of February
It's kind of blowing my mind right now that it's MARCH tomorrow. I do not feel that February was my greatest month ever over here. I am not sure what happened exactly, but it feels like it slipped between my fingers. Never fear, I am not about to start rehashing all the ways I ended… Continue reading A Monday at the end of February
Friday report
After Tuesday's post lamenting how I have not been keeping up with life right now, I am happy to say my week turned out pretty good overall. Strangely enough, I think the weather + the boys' two no-school snow days actually helped. The unexpected days off meant that I did not have to follow their… Continue reading Friday report
The week

Everything was okay. 🙃 I thought the book was… Continue reading First book club and other misc.
3 on a Thursday: Gym, veggies, pants
1. Last night Ivan wasn't home, so the boys and I went to the gym. Ethan went to the circuit training room, but Asher joined me in the bigger weight room. There's this new area up on the side of the sprint track where they have dumbbells and benches, etc., off removed away from the… Continue reading 3 on a Thursday: Gym, veggies, pants
Do you have a favorite part of the holiday season? And a cat cartoon
Two Christmas related things: 1. Does anyone else have a favorite "part" of the holiday season? For me, it's sadly already kind of wrapping up. (My favorite part, not the holiday season itself.) I really like the period from approximately December 1st- 10th. Here's why: So, before that is sort of still in Thanksgiving territory,… Continue reading Do you have a favorite part of the holiday season? And a cat cartoon
Name bias?
Okay internet friends, need your help. We have a little family debate going on here. So the other night, something came up about signing Christmas cards and the order in which we refer to pairs of people that we know. (Could be husband/wife, or even like pairs of siblings.) If you think about it for… Continue reading Name bias?
A few things on a Friday
*First, just a note for anyone having a rough week or a rough day: What a true and comforting thought. 🙂 *I got a haircut/ color yesterday. Can I just say (again)- I am soooooooooooooooo glad that I found my new hairstylist a year or so ago?? I cannot even explain how much I prefer… Continue reading A few things on a Friday
