First, I'm sure you're dying to know the outcome of my very scientific poll. Here are the results so far, from my overwhelmingly large sample size. 🤣 I find it pretty interesting that "podcasts or audiobooks" was the clear winner, and surprisingly to me- "listen to nothing" was the runner up! Not sure what it… Continue reading (Very) random Friday list
It's another Wednesday, which means another early 5:30 a.m. swim practice morning.... Unlike last week, today was one where Asher didn't want to get up.... Ugh. But, he knew he "had" to, because he had practice conflicts last night and couldn't go, and he can't go Thursday (XC meet) or Friday (soccer practice) this week.… Continue reading Another early Wednesday + mid-week misc.
Hello! Sorry for the unintentional blogging hiatus. Life has felt a little bit all over the place, as it tends to. Work: Work continues to be chaotic and just generally somewhat stress inducing, with a lot of mental energy going to being the primary (and pretty much only) person onboarding our new employee. She's able… Continue reading Catching up
Just dropped Asher off at swim practice a little bit ago. It started at 5:30 a.m. For me, this isn't exactly a "huge" deal- my alarm normally goes off at 5:15 these days and I try to be up by 5:30 at the latest, anyway. But a couple things. 1) In order to have him… Continue reading A little whine about early mornings
The weekend was just okay... I mean, it was good, but maybe not great? I was up early both days- Saturday Asher had swim practice at 7, and Sunday I drove Ethan to work by 7. This isn't a big deal, really, because I usually always wake up pretty early. But I do like having… Continue reading The weekend and a MONDAY Monday
There's nothing like getting home after time away, especially after being in a developing country, to help you see the blessings in your own day to day life more clearly. Some things I love, but normally take for granted: 1- Consistent, basically unlimited hot water. The hot water "situation" in Mexico can be very fickle.… Continue reading Post-Mexico Travel: a love list
This is going to be a weird post for me, because it's going to include exactly zero photos. The reason for that is because I left my phone in my sister-in-law's car last night, so, I do not actually have my phone...which is where my pictures are. (She drove us to/from the local wedding we… Continue reading A phone-less morning and (I had fun at the wedding)
OOF I am BACK. Back in “normal blog voice”, no longer writing in “travel mode”. 😊 Re-emerging into regular life has been…fine. Considering our flight got in around 11:45 p.m. on Tuesday night, and we both had to work on Wednesday. 😂 (I know, I know, I know…we are gluttons for punishment. We do it… Continue reading Post-Vacation mode: Bad, Good, Neutral
As I'd hoped, it was a nice day yesterday with the boys away. LOVE them to pieces, but sometimes you just need a little break from your own kids!! ha. I worked and worked all day, as we are approaching a deadline with my team and I wanted a very productive day after taking the… Continue reading Nice day
I've been missing the opportunity to come here and just blab on a little about random topics/ updates! As much as I absolutely LOVE writing travel recaps (well, they are a lot of work to put together- but I love reading them when I'm done, and I strongly believe my future self will love them… Continue reading Recently
