I was cleaning up my Google Keep a little over the weekend (Google's notes app, like Apple Notes) and I noticed I have accumulated a small collection of quotes and ideas that I've never shared. (Side note: If you use either Google Calendar or Gmail, you already have Google Keep - it's built into the… Continue reading Monday: quotes catch up, on skipping “perfect”, and a recipe!
I just wanted to share a few things that I ate this week that are hits for me. 1. Tuna + pico de gallo mix This is a favorite "quick healthy eats" option for me. Last night Ivan had plans to meet an old co-worker for drinks, there was just enough leftover pasta for 1… Continue reading Friday food edition
It's another beautiful morning, so I'm coming at you from my deck. On my mind.... Meal planning (or lack thereof) Oof, my meal planning game has been WEAK lately. I am not notoriously strong in this area, anyway, but it's been extra bad. One of my goals for the year was to figure out and… Continue reading (lack of) meal planning + longest day
First of all, just a note to say that I'd forgotten how summertime is kind of....chaotic. It is very nice to have the boys home. I like seeing them more. But, even though they are older and things are much, (MUCH) easier now, having them home still throws me off a bit. Especially at first… Continue reading Summer w/ kids home + a recipe I like
Okay! Will try to blab on less today and just share some stats. I started tracking on Monday. I'll try to list the approximate times I ate, too, if I can remember.

A mini-getaway with Asher I'm up early on a Saturday because by ~08:00 I need to be ready to leave with Asher for an overnight swim meet. It's not too far- about a 1 hour drive. But this meet will be his first ever "Prelims/Finals" format meet. Meaning, the kids swim in the morning session,… Continue reading An overnight + shrimp soup recipe
I went back to the gym! I hinted that I was planning to do this post-birthday, and I did! (pat self on back). My official return was on Monday afternoon, after an eye doctor appt. I had my eyes dilated, so I really couldn't see to go back to work for a while anyway. But… Continue reading “3 Things I Did” Thursday
I haven't talked much about cooking/ meal planning on this blog, because generally speaking, my meal planning and cooking style is pretty "fly by the seat of my pants". We (mostly, I) cook at home often, but it's honestly not super organized (though I have made more attempts recently to plan our meals). A few issues:#1:I… Continue reading Recipe storage….a possible epiphany?
The purpose of this blog for me was to be a place to share some of my personal life, as well as to be a place to talk about positivity, gratitude, productivity and just overall well-being- sort of my own little journey of personal growth, I guess you could say. That being said, one concern I… Continue reading An “Off” Day
Ohhh, this was one of those lazy mornings that just felt so indulgent.I was up late last night – it was probably close to midnight before we finally went to sleep. We don’t have any plans today and I got a sort of “second wind” after half dozing through a movie with the kids and… Continue reading Lazy, Rainy Sunday
