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
Glorious day + My 12 Days of Christmas challenge
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
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
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
Virtual school update
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
Three Things Thursday + Lights!
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!

Thank goodness
I feel very grateful right now that I ended up having a really great day yesterday (despite my #mondayfail start). Some good things: đź”· 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
Monday fail
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
Fun facts
Happy Sunday! Being Sunday, it feels like a fitting day to share pics of my Nativity scene. I received a piece most years from my Godparents when I was little and love my set! ❤ The boys usually put it up now and always look forward to that. The book I'm currently reading, Christmas: A… Continue reading Fun facts
Planner regret??
So, my new Wonderland 222 planner and notebook arrived yesterday. Yay! I was excited to see the package on my doorstep. But. As soon as I opened it, I started to get nervous. It is TINY compared to my normal planner & notebook!! My current planner on the left, new one on the right This… Continue reading Planner regret??
