Hello and happy Wednesday! It's been a while. These last days have been FULL but fun. Asher and I left around 2 pm Friday afternoon for a 3 day swim meet ~1 1/2 hours away (but near my parents' house). He swam right away Friday evening, so we went straight to the pool. We got… Continue reading Whew, I’m back

1st Summer Weekend Highlights
Woke up feeling a little bit exhausted again this morning! What the heck?! Not quite this bad, but it still felt like a lot was fit into the weekend. It was SUPER HOT again, so maybe that's actually what has me feeling drained. đź”· Last Day of School pic! 5th and 6th grades are in… Continue reading 1st Summer Weekend Highlights
Weekend + Kid-free time!!!
This has been a really glorious weekend so far. Saturday I spent a bunch of time alone with the boys. Ethan had a soccer game an hour north of here at 9 am, but Ivan had to work for a bit so I took them by myself. Weather was really nice and afterwards we stopped… Continue reading Weekend + Kid-free time!!!
A welcome workweek
Oh dear lord. This is my current state: A little dazed, confused, tired and, kind of physically sore- as if I actually did some very strenuous physical activity this weekend (but I didn't). WHAT A WEEKEND. This was probably definitely the "busiest feeling" weekend since like, early 2020 at least, if not before. I swore… Continue reading A welcome workweek
I am not throwing away my shot
Happy Sunday! I ended up having a pretty great Saturday, after some plans shifted and my day unexpectedly opened up. The morning was fairly lazy but included checking off a couple more months worth of photo organization. Still chugging along on this photo project. Ethan and I cleaned out his closet. It badly needed it… Continue reading I am not throwing away my shot
Weekend whirlwind
Oh man, I feel a bit exhausted! Not exactly the feeling I strive to have at 6 am on a Monday morning, but I guess it's a good exhaustion. The weekend felt BUSY. As in, pre-pandemic busy feel! I have mixed feelings on this, but I don't exactly see a way around it, either. A… Continue reading Weekend whirlwind
A fun start to the weekend
Last night felt like a busy, but fun, start to the weekend. Asher had received an invite to play laser tag right after school at a local bowling alley with the 5 other boys in his school cohort (same boys that are together all day, every day- plus masked). He was really happy to get… Continue reading A fun start to the weekend
Last couple days in pics
It's been a nice last few days. Some sunny weather, got my 2nd dose of vaccine (no side effects with either, except maybe a tiny headache last night?), some much needed cleaning, soccer games, outside time, Mexican food.... Here's a little recap: *A lunchtime walk on Friday. I did a short 27 minute core workout… Continue reading Last couple days in pics
African shoes, perspective + Saturday
I heard this great parable yesterday, so obviously I have to share, because as you know, I love parables. I'm pretty sure it's one that many people have heard before, but I guess I never had. Two shoe salesmen go to Africa: Two shoe salesmen were sent to Africa in the early 1900s to see… Continue reading African shoes, perspective + Saturday
Happy Spring
Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com My phone says it is 28 degrees outside, but it is technically spring. So, Happy Spring!! 🙂 I love tulips and they of course seem to be the universal sign of spring, although we definitely do not have any tulips blooming around here yet. Actually, we don't have any tulips… Continue reading Happy Spring
