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
TGIF, ya'll.... this was my first full week of work in a bit due to the holidays/vacation days, and let's just say, it came to PLAY. 😳 But I want to keep going in my goals series! The 3rd domain is next: Kids/Family. 1. Spend a minimum of 1x/ week quality time with each of… Continue reading 2025 Goals: Kids/Family
In October I posted about a planning challenge, where I was trying to figure out how to organize and track many upcoming tasks for this holiday season. In that post, I outlined my idea to create a couple of new lists in Google Tasks (namely a November and December list), in addition to my usual… Continue reading Chipping away
I still need to get one more Mexico post up (to recap the actual quinceanera!) but not feeling like sorting through all those pictures today. I think I'll just do a Monday Misc. post here with some random, real time life updates. 🙂 Charlie sleeping: First, how sweet is this pic of Charlie? I took… Continue reading Squeezing in some fall fun, a planning challenge, and Monday misc.
On my post the other day about feeling stretched thin and like I don't have a lot of margin in my days, a very astute commenter named Margot said this: When I read this, I had one of those, DUH! moments. I feel like she really hit the nail on the head. A lot of… Continue reading An astute comment
