An unexpected reset
It has rained here ALL week. Literally, it has felt like just a steady stream of drizzle to moderate rain almost constantly for days now.I don't really mind spurts like this, if I don't have much going on. It feels like a good excuse to be lazy or curl up and watch TV or something.… Continue reading An unexpected reset
Life, and a SPLURGE!
3 day weekend, complete. On to the....first "real" week of school! Technically the boys started last week Thursday, but it was super light. Too light, in my opinion, after months and months with no school, but I digress. Anyway, they basically just had a couple check ins with their teachers and worked through a few "techy" things… Continue reading Life, and a SPLURGE!
How to waste a morning
Whoops, I missed a day! Sorry about that (if you noticed 😉). I intended to wake up yesterday morning at 6 am to enjoy a quiet morning, but this happened instead:*alarm goes off at 6 am*Me (gets up to shut off alarm across the room on my hamper): "Oof, I'm super tired. Gonna crawl back… Continue reading How to waste a morning
The book is always better
Friday night after Asher's swim practice, we all watched The Hunger Games. A friend recently lent us the whole triology (the books), and Ethan devoured them all in literally a matter of days. On the way home from Florida, Asher finally finished a very thick book he had been working on, so he started in on… Continue reading The book is always better
Monday: Highlights, Gratitude and Motivation
Hi. How was your weekend? All good around here. I slept in a little bit today. The boys have been at their cousin’s house since Saturday night actually (after Asher’s swim meet), so it’s nice and quiet around here this morning. 😊 I’m kind of in a “list mood” today…maybe my weekly review/ planning has… Continue reading Monday: Highlights, Gratitude and Motivation
An actual swim meet (?!) and 1st ever “Weekly Review”
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”
Saturday
I felt bad for a while yesterday morning after I hit publish on my blog post. Like I said, I just had woken up feeling tired, overwhelmed from such a busy week and I had a bit of a headache. I felt like my post probably came off as "complain-y" and "whiny", which might have… Continue reading Saturday
People!!
I really hadn't realized it, but we had not seen PEOPLE in a really, really long time. I mean, we have "kind of" seen some people- obviously we now see my parents, we went to a friend's for a bonfire a few weeks ago and I've seen my neighbors out and about. But in terms of… Continue reading People!!
Saturday Check-In
Tea + Outside = Perfect start to the day Good morning! I just rolled out of bed a bit bleary eyed. We were over at friend’s house in the neighborhood last night to hang out on their deck and have a bonfire. It was the most beautiful summer night- warm and humid- and the boys had fun… Continue reading Saturday Check-In
