The boys had the pleasure of experiencing one of childhood's greatest joys yesterday.....the SNOW DAY!!! I think anyone who lives in a cold weather/snowy climate will agree- there are few things more exciting than waking up to the news that SCHOOL IS CANCELLED!!! I have vivid memories of waking up as a child in my… Continue reading Snow day
When we were at Disney's Animal Kingdom a couple weeks ago, I saw this quote painted on a wall inside "Africa". (By the way, Animal Kingdom is my FAVORITE Disney park. THE BEST. I especially love the Africa area.) I immediately pulled out my phone and made a note of it, because it just spoke… Continue reading Get lost
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
The boys didn't have school yesterday. It was the end of the 2nd quarter, so, I guess that means no school for a teacher work day. After all of the time they have been OUT of school, I will admit I feel a little annoyed when I see the no school days on my calendar.… Continue reading No school day + misc.
1- Virtual Book Club! The Transplant department where I work has started a virtual book club, which will meet by Webex once a month on Monday evenings. I have never been in a book club, in part because the idea of potentially having to host a bunch of semi-strangers makes me anxious. 🙂 But this… Continue reading Friday 5

As someone who was a 4-6 day/week gym goer for YEARS prior to COVID, this is crazy. Actually, looking… Continue reading Back in the saddle!

But he has lost several people close to him in a short time span and it is heart breaking.… Continue reading Be happy now
Happy Monday Tuesday. 🙂 Back to work (and school!! for real!!) today after the long weekend. 2 sort of frivolous topics to start the week: Planner stickers When I got my new Wonderland 222 planner, I decided to dive slightly into the "planner world" and bought several new pens, highlighters, etc. to use with it.… Continue reading Stickers & TV shows
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
1- Finally getting my Christmas decorations taken down!! I love Christmas so much, but there does come a point when I'm like, okay, it is OVER. Could the magic Christmas fairy please come in and just remove everything now?? 🙂 Since we we left for vacation right after New Year's, I didn't have a chance… Continue reading 5 Good Things
