Whew this was a busy Saturday. I had a list a mile long of things I wanted/needed to do this weekend. Unfortunately I can't say I checked everything off, but I did check off some big things, so, that's a win. Of course, as usually happens, I also did several things that were not on… Continue reading Lots of things + some wins
After Halloween on Friday, we've had a fun and very enjoyable weekend! My parents arrived around 4 p.m. on Friday and stayed until ~11:15 a.m. today (Sunday), so we had a nice chunk of time with them. They came with us to Ethan's big Sectional Final soccer game at 1 p.m yesterday. Unfortunately, the weather… Continue reading The rest of the weekend
First of all, thank you for such amazing and robust comments on my travel hacking post the other day!! I can see that it's sort of a "polarizing" topic, with people having quite strong arguments for and against it. I haven't had a chance to respond to all your comments yet, but I will soon,… Continue reading Tuesday randomness
Argh, I still have not had a spare second to sort my final Nova Scotia pics and get that post up. BUT I WILL! Because the last days were incredible and deserve all the attention too! So please stay tuned... hopefully soon...😫 (Promise you won't skip it just because it's late!!!) It feels like so… Continue reading Some days in the life
for a real time update. I still have 2 days left to recap from the Nova Scotia trip (well, 1 full day plus our departure day, which still included some fun bits!), but that is not happening today. I do have a couple minutes though, so I thought I'd just pop on quickly for a… Continue reading Interrupting your regularly scheduled programming…
Eek, it's been a little crazy! Last weekend we did sort of a mad rush to get the house cleaned, including the basement rec room/ guest room/ my office/ guest bathroom (which are the spaces that do not normally make it into our every-other-week cleaning routine), in anticipation of my in-laws arriving on Monday. But… Continue reading Thursday updates!
My Monday: Yesterday was a rare day in that I didn't have any scheduled meetings. That is THE BEST. My old job actually rarely had meetings (was very solo work oriented, back then), and I didn't realize how much I took that for granted. It was a peaceful day and I was able to catch… Continue reading Monday- tired but good + medical mystery
Brrrr, fall is HERE in Wisconsin!! My weather app said it was 47 degrees out this morning! 😳 I cannot fully decide what I think about this. On the one hand, many Septembers we still get very hot weather in Wisconsin, and I don't always love that either, because it doesn't feel like "fall" then.… Continue reading Fall is here, back to school part 2, money tracking, etc.
Hi friends! Sorry about the unintentional week-long blog break. I was not away on a mysterious adventure, but really just here at home, staying busy with regular life! I love blogging and reading blogs, but sometimes Real Life > Blog Life. 🙂 Also, a big part of what kicked off the blog break was this:… Continue reading Blog break catch up
I think our lack of a buffer day after our Florida trip kind of snowballed and caught up with me a bit this weekend. As I mentioned, we got home last Sunday night and then dove right back into everything on Monday. While yes, I technically unpacked immediately, there were still things lingering around all… Continue reading A little snowball
GRATEFUL KAE
