On Sunday I ran to T.J.Maxx looking for a new little bralette for sleeping in, because a very cute, curly haired friend chewed the strap off of my old but beloved one. (My fault for leaving it on the floor... he really doesn't chew on things anymore, except socks and/or undergarments of any kind are… Continue reading Overheard in the fitting room + a few packing confessions
1- Ethan's tennis banquet Last night we attended Ethan's end-of-season tennis banquet at school. It was at 5:30 p.m. and way across town (for me anyway, from home...). Ivan met us there from work. Ethan drove me, despite being essentially "rush hour" on the "busy/ scary interstate route" (which is actually just his normal route… Continue reading Friday 5: Misc
Mish mash post here today of a few random things... #1: I finally ordered and received my printed Blog Book from our Costa Rica trip! I had this one made with my blog post recaps after our New England trip in 2021: from intorealpages.com It turned out great, and ever since I have wanted to… Continue reading Blog book, shopping, Nutella…
Just did a little audit of the May calendar... we're in the thick of it now! To me things REALLY gear up when there start to be a bunch of special weeknight events. This sets May apart from the rest of the year, I think. The numbers Tennis matches= 4 (including one full day Conference… Continue reading May by the numbers/photos

It finally subsided, but I awoke today with a still very… Continue reading Moving in the right direction…
As I suspected and forecasted, this is a BUSY season for us right now. Side note- It annoys me that I just said that. Because I kind of feel like I, or the collective "we", have all taken to calling every season "busy". Have you noticed that? This current season (April-May) is the busy spring… Continue reading “Busy seasons” + good stuff list

HI and sorry about disappearing! For a whole week! I just realized my last post was last Friday, which is a very long time for me to go with no blog posts. I had told myself I wasn't allowed to write any regular posts until I finished my Smokies recaps, but I still have 2… Continue reading A check in! And oops, a Hawaii $$ related spiraling tirade…
🔷 Ivan turned 43 last Monday! Not the most exciting day to have a birthday (a Monday), but we were able to clear the decks and go out for (what else?) Mexican food. His brother + his gf joined us, and I stealthily told the waitress it was his birthday when he went to the… Continue reading Random life updates
