This weekend felt really long!! I think it was because we did a lot of different things. It seems when you do one, single activity all day, maybe time goes more quickly? Or at least the perception of that time, looking back on it. But when you transition from one thing to another to another,… Continue reading Another full weekend- but, happy ๐

A very Mama Mia-full weekend
Weekend Recap: Friday night- Asher had swim practice from 6:20-7:35, so I drove him to that. After, Ivan and I went out for our pretty typical Friday night date night, to his friend's Mexican restaurant. We, as usual, got the chicken and steak "nachos fiesta", no sour cream, add raw jalapeno. If you're wondering if… Continue reading A very Mama Mia-full weekend
Weekend in pics
This was a busy weekend!! I knew this was coming, so I was pretty mentally prepared for it. ๐ My parents were here for the weekend, too, specifically to watch the play performances. It was definitely full, but we had some nice chunks of downtime, too. This is the first we've seen my parents since… Continue reading Weekend in pics
Sunday list + Meal plan
Yesterday: Biggest accomplishment= I did our taxes!!! On April 10th. Plenty of time in advance...a whole 8 days to go til the deadline. ๐ We actually intentionally decided to do them "late" this year/ after our trip. It was just too busy in February with all my volunteer work stuff + trip planning, etc.... so… Continue reading Sunday list + Meal plan
Looking like a good day
Last weekend, our first full weekend home, was pretty busy. Multiple volleyball games, soccer tournament, etc. So, I've been looking forward to this weekend, because we had literally zero plans on the schedule. (And looking ahead, most of the next weekends for....hmmm....eternity, don't look nearly this open.) Last night Ivan and I went out for… Continue reading Looking like a good day

Monday list
1- Weather We had very mild temperatures this weekend, including a big thunderstorm on Saturday with some downpouring rain. It was nice, actually- felt like spring!! But then I walked out of my room this morning and saw this view out of the sunroom window: Wait, what?! I usually watch local weather report most days,… Continue reading Monday list
Saturday in pics
Saturday was nice. We had only one "anchor event" at 9:15, which was Ethan's basketball game. After that, we didn't have any plans. I did make a list of like 7 things I wanted to get done yesterday/ this weekend...but I ended up checking off only 2 (so far). The weekend isn't over. ๐ However,… Continue reading Saturday in pics
Too many ideas, not enough time
February 1st today!! We're 1/12 of the way through 2022. Crazy. "It's a long month...." You often hear people lament that January is a long, slow month- it's the thick of winter, the holidays are over, everyone is trying to implement their "New Year's resolutions"....it's kind of like one big, long Monday all month long.… Continue reading Too many ideas, not enough time

Taking another pause from trip recaps, and instead bringing you what I'm going to call a 5-4-3-2-1 Weekend Recap. I'm going to rank some weekend events from 5 (highest/best) to 1 (lowest). Fortunately, nothing was truly too bad this weekend, though. ๐ 5 The highest spot goes to....Ethan and basketball. He had one game Saturday… Continue reading 5-4-3-2-1
