I love fables. I think they are such an amazing way to share a lesson. I ran across two recently that I thought were awesome, so I'm going to share those today. I also posted my personal favorite fable back on Cinco de Mayo here if you want more. 🙂 #1: "You never really know for… Continue reading Wisdom Wednesday
I've had a thought rolling around in my head intermittently since a week or so ago when I listened to an episode of the podcast The Mom Hour. I believe it was Episode 279, titled "Home Learning Success Strategies + Our Kids' Fall Schooling Update."They were talking about how virtual learning was going for them currently-… Continue reading Maybe it’s okay to let go sometimes…and, Travel Tuesday!
Another fresh week, and the first full week of a new month. I don't mind Mondays. They always feel full of promise and optimism to me. Nothing has gone wrong, yet! 🙂 The weekend was nice. We had "swim Saturday" and "soccer Sunday". Ethan had a game around ~1 hour away yesterday morning. It wasn't far… Continue reading A New Week and Habit Tracking
Just a little life update today... Life definitely feels much fuller and busier again than a few months ago. It's that slow creep, like what happens with weight gain, or spending too much money. 😁 Overall it feels nice to have a sense of "normalcy" again, even though many areas of life still aren't really… Continue reading Little Life Update
So far, so good on my #75 Easy challenge (more on that here). Day 2/75 complete and on to Day 3 today. The biggest key is not waiting to get started on the various to-do items. In the past, I would wait until almost noon to start drinking my water, or wouldn't walk OR exercise until… Continue reading Cutting Back

It is looking awesome and I'm so grateful for his help.But, with our school day routines, evening activities mostly back in almost full-swing and… Continue reading Friday 5
Have any of you heard of the #75 Hard challenge?? It's been floating around for quite a while now- at least a couple of years I think- and has made its way to my social media feeds numerous times by now.If you haven't heard of it, this is what it is:*a "willpower or mental toughness"… Continue reading #75 Hard Challenge….err…#75 easy.
Working in healthcare for over 15 years now, I've obviously had a ton of experience with sick people. I've seen horrible cases in the hospital, of people who just can't catch a break. Families that suffer and struggle for years with chronic illness.You'd think that everyone who works in healthcare would walk around with a serious… Continue reading Perspective
Sometimes the littlest things add up to make a big difference in your week.WINS:1. Delegating!Ethan has a well child check this morning (with several shots). The appt. is at 8:45 a.m. Normally, since I "work from home", I am the default errand-runner/appointment-taker/etc. Technically, yes, it works out better for me, since my hours are flexible.… Continue reading Wins
I haven't talked much about cooking/ meal planning on this blog, because generally speaking, my meal planning and cooking style is pretty "fly by the seat of my pants". We (mostly, I) cook at home often, but it's honestly not super organized (though I have made more attempts recently to plan our meals). A few issues:#1:I… Continue reading Recipe storage….a possible epiphany?
