Oh, sigh. Life feels heavy at the moment. COVID is hitting Ivan's close friends & family circle hard in Mexico right now. I won't go into many details, as it's not really my story to tell. 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

Ahhh I say this every time, but after any time away I really do love getting back into my normal routines. I'm such a weird mix....I LOVE traveling so much but I also LOVE just being at home. 🙂 It's January 12th today and I'm excited to finally really dive into my "new year's" stuff.… Continue reading Normal life & fresh slate
We did it! We successfully pulled a major fast one on the boys and surprised them this past week with a very last minute trip to Disney World. They had NO IDEA it was coming. The surprise aspect was slightly anti-climactic, only because they were so confused that they weren't really able to react in… Continue reading Disney!!!
