Happy December!!!!!! GOSH I can't believe we are in Month 12 of 12 already, but here we are. I don't mean to overdo it here with the workout content lately, but I'm still feeling really excited and happy and optimistic with this new schedule and cadence. And luckily (or unluckily) for you, you usually get… Continue reading My actual December 2025 workouts + new month/new tracking method!
Storage Room: Before + After Okay, as promised, I took some pictures of my big storage room clean out! Sadly, I don't really have the best "before" pictures. Here's the thing- this storage room wasn't always a disaster. We moved into this house in 2013, and I'd say it spent the first ~6 years or… Continue reading Before/after + spontaneous fun!
Thanks for the commiseration the other day! 🙂 As is often the way, as soon as I wrote all that, I actually had a good day and felt generally more upbeat, for some reason! Maybe our warm, spring-like weather this week is helping... I sat in a patio chair for 10 minutes yesterday on my… Continue reading A few switch-ups
A big part of my job involves working on Process Improvement projects for our transplant program. There's this tool that is used in PI work called the "5 Whys" that is meant to help identify the root cause of a problem. Some of you may have heard of this! I've been meaning to share about… Continue reading Problem solving
March went so fast!! I know it's because a large chunk of the month was dedicated to preparing for travel, traveling, or resetting after travel. At first I felt like the rest of the month was kind of a wash- nothing particularly exciting stood out in my mind. Fortunately, I have my time logs/ trackers… Continue reading March 2025 Recap
February definitely felt like it flew by much more quickly than January. It also was a very Asher-heavy month! Which I think is okay...that's just how it goes sometimes. Especially now that Ethan can drive himself places! By default, we're just a little less "hands-on" with him now. As high school tennis starts up soon… Continue reading February 2025 Recap
January 31st! One whole month down of 2025. I mean, actually, this is pretty accurate! Haha. So far, I'm happy overall with my progress on my goals. Yes, as always happens, some of that New Year Energy started to wane a bit around the midway point. (Apparently January 10th is officially "Quitter's Day", i.e. when… Continue reading January 2025 recap
I'm sitting here on an extra DAY OFF (yes!!) feeling quite literally and figuratively frozen at the moment. I mean, it's perfectly warm in my house, thankfully, because my phone says it is -5F outside with a "feels like" temp of -12F. So it is literally freezing, but I'm actually feeling frozen in terms of… Continue reading Feeling frozen… literally and figuratively
Okay, phew! This has felt like a long series, with some looooooong posts! Finally the last section: OTHER. And, this should be relatively quick, because I only have 3 here so far. These are goals slots #21-25 on my 25 for 2025 list, but I've left 2 blank for now to fill in any fun,… Continue reading 2025 Goals: Other
Okay, chugging along here.... To recap, so far we've covered Personal (#1-5), Health/Fitness (#6-10), Kids/Family (#11-15) and now: Household goals (#16-20)! 1. Implement a standard grocery shopping time. Let me explain. I've touched on this in previous posts, but meal planning and groceries are not really my forte. Historically, we're pretty loosey goosey in this… Continue reading 2025 Goals: Household
