Feeling good about this Saturday!! Ivan took Asher to swim practice (6:50 a.m.) and then dropped Ethan at work nearby (7:00 a.m.). They took Charlie with them in the car, so I stayed home and did this: Very nice start to the day! Quickly showered after that and then picked up Asher from swim practice… Continue reading Saturday accomplishments
The Packer game kicks off in 20 minutes, so I don't have much time. Just jumping on to say hola and give a quick weekend update. The weather has been BEAUTIFUL. Just beautiful. Well, yesterday and today, anyway. Friday night Ethan had a 4:30 p.m. soccer game and it was overcast and spitting a few… Continue reading A “it’s really feeling like fall now” weekend update
Gosh, I didn't mean to go 6 days without posting, but apparently I did. Well, it's not that surprising, because my life continues to feel a bit like a tilt-a-whirl over here... Backing up to the weekend: So what I wanted to do this weekend looked about like this: I did not, however, curl up… Continue reading Catching up/ a Sept. weekend
An interesting product! This weekend we stopped at Best Buy so Asher could get a new screen protector for his phone. I wandered around a little bit, looking at the latest tech gadgets. I'm rather out of the loop when it comes to "cool tech stuff", besides my iphone and Apple watch. Oh well. Part… Continue reading Interesting idea, weekend, etc.
It always boggles my mind how the same thing can sometimes feel either SO hard or SO easy. I think this is because I'm really quite an all-or-nothing person. So when I'm "in" on something (mentally, I guess), it can seem quite easy. But when I'm "not in", it can feel impossible. This past week… Continue reading Week in review/ workouts going strong
This past weekend we had a rare weekend away: I'll call it a "2:1" weekend. 2 parents, 1 child. I don't think we'd ever really done this before! (the 2:1 thing). But it just so happened that Ethan had a soccer tournament in St. Louis, and Asher had a packed weekend himself at home- a… Continue reading 2:1 Weekend in St. Louis
I've mentioned every year that I've had this blog how I really don't care for Easter. I won't blab on about it yet again, but the long and the short of it is: I just don't really like Easter. Besides enjoying the religious significance of it (for me), I just don't get whipped up over… Continue reading A fairly “un-enthusiastic Easter” weekend recap
Hello! Didn't mean to disappear. Asher and I left Thursday night (at like 7:30 p.m., after swim practice) to head to Milwaukee for a few days. The 13+ State swim meet was held this past weekend from Friday to Sunday, and although he didn't have any State qualifying times yet for the new 13-14 age… Continue reading Catching up on a weekend away
Tuesday already! These past few days were a blur. The weekend was highly dominated by Asher's swim meet both Saturday and Sunday. But first, on Friday night we still squeezed in our date night: Switched it up from nachos and got a big quesadilla to share instead! Neither macro friendly nor low carb, but, delicious.… Continue reading Weekend snapshots + shoes for Costa Rica
I was thinking yesterday how our weekends are so inconsistent. They really never look the same. Overall, this is fine with me; it's mostly just an observation. We've actually never really had consistent weekends, for as long as I can remember. From 2006- 2016 I worked every other weekend. (!!!) That's a lot of weekend… Continue reading Weekend inconsistency
GRATEFUL KAE
