Yawn. I feel a little bit out of sorts this morning. Not in a bad mood exactly, but I think mostly just a little bit tired. I feel like it was kind of an intense week for some reason, though it really wasn't by normal standards. Now that I think about it, maybe it's because… Continue reading Tired + B-day Recap
New month usually means new goals. Well, this month I don't have any. This is currently how my monthly page in my notebook looks: Oh well. I'll probably write something down, but I didn't do the best on November's goals so I can realistically just flip back a page and keep going...Ha. Basically this month… Continue reading Thinking about
Happy, Happy 11th Birthday to my sweet Asher!!! Tucked in bed last night....his last time going to sleep as a 10 year old. I know it's so cliche to even say, but I can't believe he's 11. My youngest, my baby....and he is ELEVEN. I feel like the years from starting elementary school to now… Continue reading 11
Today is December 1, 2020. We are in the home stretch now of 2020!!!! Woooo!!!! One month to go until a fresh start in 2021. Honestly, I don't think anything will magically change when the calendar reads 2021. But given the general cultural, worldwide disdain for this year, I'll go with the flow and hate… Continue reading Home stretch
Sniff, sniff. It was a sad day yesterday. 😥 We now officially no longer have any Santa believers in our household. It was time, definitely (Asher is 10, almost 11 and in 5th grade).... but it still feels like a milestone. Like the boys are "all grown up now". Here's how it went down: Asher… Continue reading The end of the magic
I'm pretty happy with how much I've been managing to read lately. Still probably not that much, relatively speaking, but I'm reading daily and I'm happy about that. I picked up a couple new library holds yesterday so I thought I'd share what I'm reading. Currently Reading: 📘The Girl in the Tower by Katherine Arden:… Continue reading Current Reads & more
Yippee, it's only Saturday! I just had to double check the day/date because it has already felt like a pretty nice extended weekend. Still 2 days to go! I technically did work yesterday, but I only put in about a half day, which was nice. I'm currently debating if I want to work the other… Continue reading This and that
Thanksgiving 2020 is in the books. I love the fall-winter holidays so much that I actually get a bit sad when they are over. It just seems the whole season flies by every year...Halloween is over, now Thanksgiving. Now we are just down to Christmas! (and New Year's, which is nice, but not a holiday… Continue reading Thanksgiving
While I work, I have been listening to a "Classic Christmas" station on Pandora. It plays mostly traditional Christmas songs (Joy to the World, Silent Night, etc.) and many tend to be older versions with that great old time sound (like Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, etc.). There's one song that has been popping up… Continue reading Count your blessings
The feeling of the holidays is really in the air for me now!! I always really like the couple of days leading up to Thanksgiving, when prep is starting and there's just a special feel to the week. We are doing a very small Thanksgiving this year, just the 4 of us + my parents.… Continue reading Holiday cheer and pie dilemmas
