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: 🔷 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??
Tired + B-day Recap
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
