I've been feeling a little frustrated lately. It's been one of those phases (which I get in quite frequently, honestly) where it just feels like everything does not really FIT into my life the way I wish it would. In an average day, I am always trying to finagle ways to fit in (not in… Continue reading Time frustrations and other misc.
Without really meaning to, turns out I posted 3 times this week, and all 3 posts were "theme" posts! x2 about social media stuff and x1 about work stuff. I am feeling overdue for a ramble-about-regular-life post! Backing up to last weekend.... a party with Charlie: On Saturday we went to a birthday party for… Continue reading Lately: dog behavior, awards, big kids, blog anniversary!
Hi! I'm done with the London posts (minus maybe one other I have floating around, but that's more of a "general thoughts/ observations about London" type of post), so I'm excited to be back in real time voice now. Re-entry Re-entry all went fine. The kids seemed to bounce right back. Literally the next 2… Continue reading Back to misc. posts!
I was laying in bed after taking Charlie out in the middle of the night (now that weather has been nicer and yard has thawed, we've been letting him run around in the backyard, and I think that unfortunately means he has maybe rediscovered the joys of rabbit poop? 😫), and I was thinking about… Continue reading March almost over for me and workout recap
Trip prep: This week has felt a bit odd. It was Ivan's birthday, I had PT on Wednesday morning, volunteer work Monday, work work all week, and I have to end work early to get to a haircut this afternoon. It also seemed to fly by. Which I am overall okay with... even though I… Continue reading A fast week + other misc.
1. Asher's swim banquet was Tuesday night. This was SO well done!! I've talked about how lovely other end-of-season sports banquets have been, but this one was maybe even above and beyond. The food was great (donated from Texas Roadhouse- grilled chicken, BBQ pork, those yummy rolls w/ cinnamon butter, mac n cheese, salad, cookies...so… Continue reading Friday 5: banquet, eyes, and I Believe
A few mid-week updates! #1. On Monday afternoon Asher underwent a "peanut challenge" at the Allergy Clinic. He was diagnosed with a peanut allergy around 18 months after he grabbed a fistful of little roasted peanuts out of Ivan's hand and tried to eat them. He didn't really even swallow any, but his face promptly… Continue reading Mid-week updates: peanuts are back, swim pics, SHOES!
Nothing too thrilling to post here today, but just popping in to say hello and ramble about some randomness. 🙂 Snow/Cold: After a pretty non-snowy winter so far, we got a bigger snowfall on Wednesday. This caused Ethan's school to start earlier and end earlier (they normally have a late start on Wednesdays) and Asher's… Continue reading This and that
Yesterday was a very typical, regular day. Perhaps could be seen as "boring", to some. But I was thinking (during my Les Mills Core class at 6:15 last night (fitness class #3 of the year so far! Aiming for average of 2/ month and so far hitting that goal), I like regular days. I mean,… Continue reading I like regular days
Adventures in thrifting: Last night I volunteered at Asher's weekly swim team pasta dinner again. Each family has to do it twice, and back in November at the Parents Meeting, I astutely signed up for two post-Christmas dinners. This was a very good decision, because although I still didn't particularly "feel" like making 6 lbs… Continue reading I thrifted! and “choose the suck”
GRATEFUL KAE
