Yesterday felt like “SUMMER” with capital letters. Specifically, a “summer night”. And every time I say the words “summer night”, I inevitably think of the song “Summer Nights” and the movie “Grease”.You see, when I was growing up, maybe around 13ish?, my sister, best friend and I went through a period of time where we… Continue reading Summer Nights

Weekend Check In and a To Do List
Good morning! How is your weekend going?I’m writing this later than usual because I slept in and was having tea in the sunroom with Ivan, just chatting and making a little game plan for the day.

Creative Play and Another COVID Holiday Weekend
Good Saturday morning and Happy Memorial Day Weekend! 😊Here we go, another holiday. This one “feels” a little more disrupted to me in some ways than the others (Easter and Mother’s Day), I think maybe because we don’t usually have majorly traditional plans on either of those holidays in our household.We don’t actually really have… Continue reading Creative Play and Another COVID Holiday Weekend
Lazy, Rainy Sunday
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
Weekend Recap
How was your Mother's Day? Mother's Day 2020- Ethan 11, Asher 10Mine was lovely! Really, it was such a nice day. It was rainy and cold but that really didn't bother me in the slightest.

Some Things I’m Loving on a Sunday
This is a first of the year...I am actually sitting out on our deck on our patio furniture! I've been able to use the deck a little bit on a few other nice days this year, but we finally got the patio furniture out yesterday. It is a beautiful morning on this Sunday. It could be… Continue reading Some Things I’m Loving on a Sunday
The Perfect Day
While I try to generally look on the bright side if I can, I'm not honestly always someone who sees everything as sunshine and rainbows necessarily. I feel like by nature I'm actually naturally a bit more "pessimistic", which is why over the past 5 years or so I have actively been working on changing this… Continue reading The Perfect Day
Will My House Ever Be Clean Again?
Yesterday afternoon we spent some time cleaning. A few items checked off the list around our house were:I did a sort of deeper clean of our bedroom (dust, vacuum, straighten, etc) and decided to wash all of the pillowcases for our many different decorative toss pillows on our bed. I can't even remember when they… Continue reading Will My House Ever Be Clean Again?
Journaling Fails and my Highlight Journal system!
Good Saturday morning. It was nice to sleep in a little bit today. I still generally like getting up early on the weekends, but it depends what time I get to bed if I set an alarm or not. Last night I decided not to set one. I was awake in the night too for a… Continue reading Journaling Fails and my Highlight Journal system!
