So far the weekend is feeling much better than the craziness of last week. I had a nice day yesterday, spending the morning with my parents, then some housework/ work in the afternoon and finally in the evening, a big milestone.... Asher had his first "swim meet" since February! (I put quotes because it wasn't an… Continue reading An actual swim meet (?!) and 1st ever “Weekly Review”

Mini WFH rant
Wow, I feel utterly exhausted this morning. This week has felt way too intense with the addition of what felt like 4,329 different appointments mixed in on top of the regular workweek and everything else. I generally dread weeks when I have appointments of any kind, because I just know how they mess up the regular… Continue reading Mini WFH rant
Life is short: Google Cal for the win
Hi August. Where did you come from, you sneaky little bugger?? 😁Seriously though, it feels rather impossible that it's August. Like, 3 months from Halloween? Practically Christmas season??!Apparently time flies for me regardless of whether I'm super busy or super not busy. Correction- I think I always find a way to be "busy". Probably just… Continue reading Life is short: Google Cal for the win
Better Breaks
My planning paid off and I had a nice day yesterday! I mentioned in my reading list on Sunday that I’ve been reading The New Corner Office, the e-book by Laura Vanderkam about how to work better from home. One section that caught my eye was about “taking breaks”. This advice was geared toward working people,… Continue reading Better Breaks

A good day
The good thing about a bad day is that it’s usually followed by a good day. That’s my experience, anyway. I don’t too oftenhave multiple bad days in a row, maybe because the bad day forces me to stop and re-evaluate WHY it was a bad day and make some intentional changes to avoid another… Continue reading A good day
Dilemmas
Feeling a bit…..something this morning. Not exactly sure what. Sort of a mix between overwhelmed and frustrated. Maybe a touch of anxious and…irritable? I don’t even know. I feel conflicted, too. About several different things.The weekend was awesome- truly, as you saw in my post yesterday, Ethan’s birthday was such a highlight. But I did… Continue reading Dilemmas
Habit Tracking
I sat outside on the deck last night at 10 pm and was going crazy at how BEAUTIFUL it was out!! Humid, warm....Just a perfect summer night. I had to drag myself inside to go to bed. Holy guacamole, it’s July 1st. Sounds weird, mostly because part of me kind of still thinks it’s a strangely… Continue reading Habit Tracking
A vacation day to….work?? And a little bit about “priorities!”
Yesterday I took a vacation day with the intention to work all day. Wait, what?? Yep, that’s right. I took a vacation day from my paid job to work for free at my house all day. 😊 Do you ever do this? I do this fairly regularly- at least a couple times per year probably.… Continue reading A vacation day to….work?? And a little bit about “priorities!”
Atomic Habits
“I have the bad habit of….” or “I wish I had the habit of…..” or “Ugh, I shouldn’t do this, it’s such a bad habit…” This is a great podcast in general! Check it out. I am fascinated by the topic of habit formation and have read a few books on it lately. A few weeks ago… Continue reading Atomic Habits
