Yesterday was a day that felt longer than most. Not in a bad way, but it just seemed to have significantly more hours in it than other days. This is, of course, not true- though I suppose it technically had more waking hours for me than some days. I was up at 5:30 a.m. and… Continue reading A day with many hours
OKAY Wisco weather, very funny. Today I woke up to a real temperature of -6 and my iphone cheerfully informed me that the wind chill was -20. AND, this time, it is also snowing. How can it even snow when it's that cold?? I thought that was like, a meteorological impossibility. Ah, well. There is… Continue reading Saturday attitude and gratitude 🙂
Hi! I'm back. I took a little BREAK for a few days from everything- and I mean all of my usual "stuff". Asher had a swim meet in the city my parents live in, so he and I left early Saturday morning and stayed there all weekend. I ended up completely checking out from everything… Continue reading Weekend Break
This was the nicest weekend!!! The first really "relaxing" weekend since the whole holiday rush + vacation + unpacking/ taking Christmas decoration down weekends. Friday night started off with driving Asher ~30 minutes away to a swim practice, BUT it meant I had a full hour to sit in the car and read my book… Continue reading A great weekend
Sunday was a nice day. There were some really nice moments of connection that I really enjoyed. As the kids get older, it can be so easy to kind of just all do our own things sometimes. On weekends, they like to spend a good amount of time playing video games with their friends. I… Continue reading Connection
Hey! How was your weekend? Mine was really nice. Plenty of holiday prep in full swing, as I mentioned yesterday, but it felt even-paced and festive, not frantic. Cookies: ✔ Presents: ✔ Christmas Challenge Day #8 (Read old Christmas books with kids): ✔ Time got away from us and it got late, so we only… Continue reading Happy Monday
I had a pretty glorious day yesterday. The snowy weather definitely set the mood for me and I was in full on "cozy mode". I did get all my work done from my home office with my slippers on :), I DID try out the hot tub while it was snowing (loved it!) and I… Continue reading Glorious day + My 12 Days of Christmas challenge
FINALLY feels like Christmas!! After a week of weirdly warm, sunny weather, we got our first bigger snowfall last night (currently- still snowing!). I'm sorry, but it just does not feel like Christmastime to me when it's sunny and warm! No offense to anyone living in a warm climate, but it just doesn't work for… Continue reading Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
I'm pretty happy with how much I've been managing to read lately. Still probably not that much, relatively speaking, but I'm reading daily and I'm happy about that. I picked up a couple new library holds yesterday so I thought I'd share what I'm reading. Currently Reading: 📘The Girl in the Tower by Katherine Arden:… Continue reading Current Reads & more
Yippee, it's only Saturday! I just had to double check the day/date because it has already felt like a pretty nice extended weekend. Still 2 days to go! I technically did work yesterday, but I only put in about a half day, which was nice. I'm currently debating if I want to work the other… Continue reading This and that
GRATEFUL KAE
