My brain is kind of fried right now, not going to lie. I was up super late last night dealing with some fairly last minute gift purchasing (?- kind of...there's a week left, but I just really want/need to be done with all gift buying for all people now!). I am feeling some serious "gift… Continue reading Wisdom Wednesday
Morning! Now only 10 days until Christmas. My "favorite" part of the Christmas season has officially passed....I actually really love the time between ~Thanksgiving and right about now. Those early December days are the best, to me. Once we get into the final days leading up to the 24th, there's always a sense of anxiety… Continue reading Screens & vaccines
Happy Monday 🙂 I'm feeling a bit zen this morning and I'm surprisingly not really in the mood to write too much. The weekend was nice. After my "glorious" Saturday, Sunday was pretty similar. Pretty low key and included: a sweaty workout, more cookies, taking Asher to the pool, more Netflix, helping the boys record… Continue reading Monday
I had a pretty glorious day yesterday. The snowy weather definitely set the mood for me and I was in full on "cozy mode". I did get all my work done from my home office with my slippers on :), I DID try out the hot tub while it was snowing (loved it!) and I… Continue reading Glorious day + My 12 Days of Christmas challenge
FINALLY feels like Christmas!! After a week of weirdly warm, sunny weather, we got our first bigger snowfall last night (currently- still snowing!). I'm sorry, but it just does not feel like Christmastime to me when it's sunny and warm! No offense to anyone living in a warm climate, but it just doesn't work for… Continue reading Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
We are now almost done with Week 2 of our temporary switch to virtual school for the holiday season. One more week until Christmas break. Then they'll have 1 more week virtual after break before hopefully going back to school on January 11th. It's going waaaaaay better than previous attempts. I am kind of shocked,… Continue reading Virtual school update
I love collecting quotes. In fact, I need to come up with a better system for saving them. I have some in my "notebook", some are in an email folder, some saved on Instagram, others I never do save and end up losing.... 3 that I'm loving this week: 1. "As we express our gratitude,… Continue reading Three Things Thursday + Lights!
(Image by Larisa Koshkina from Pixabay) I finally sat down and brainstormed my holiday season/ winter fun list! Here's what I came up with: 🎄 Drive around town to look at local Christmas lights, listening to Christmas music. Either bring hot chocolate from home or pick some up from a drive thru. 🎄Bake cookies together.… Continue reading 2020 Holiday/ Winter Fun List
I feel very grateful right now that I ended up having a really great day yesterday (despite my #mondayfail start). Some good things: 🔷 I was at a transition point for work (finished one big section of something on Friday, was about to start a new one yesterday). So I decided to take an hour… Continue reading Thank goodness
Gah. It's Monday morning and I'm totally off on the wrong foot. I normally like Mondays quite a bit- the whole "getting back into a routine" after the weekend. But I am very, VERY dependent on my morning routine to feel "normal". And today, I slept in. (I woke up at 4 am AGAIN and… Continue reading Monday fail
