Whoops, I missed a day! Sorry about that (if you noticed 😉). I intended to wake up yesterday morning at 6 am to enjoy a quiet morning, but this happened instead:*alarm goes off at 6 am*Me (gets up to shut off alarm across the room on my hamper): "Oof, I'm super tired. Gonna crawl back… Continue reading How to waste a morning
“Elevate the Everyday”
Last year I listened to a podcast episode that really stuck with me, to the point that I have thought about it quite frequently over this past year. Turns out- it was from way back in September 2019, and I still find myself thinking about it, so I figured I should share here!It was a… Continue reading “Elevate the Everyday”
Friday 5: Wisdom Version
I feel like there's been a lot going on this week in my life that I've been sharing on the blog about ME ME ME (anniversary...school talk....more back to school talk....). Today, I want to give you a break from all that. I'm even tired of hearing about my own life, and I'm living it. 🙂 I… Continue reading Friday 5: Wisdom Version
U-rah-rah, it’s the first day of school
Hold onto your hats, folks, it's another school year. Today marks the official first day, though as I've already shared, we'll be starting back up virtually. I think these first couple of days will start out slow and mostly be getting their feet wet with the new virtual schedule and system.Over the past two days, the… Continue reading U-rah-rah, it’s the first day of school
#13
With all of the craziness after getting home from vacation and the drama revolving around school re-opening, I almost forgot that today is our wedding anniversary! It snuck up on me. Lucky number #13. 😉 In 2020. Double 😉 Ivan tried to convince me last night that it was actually 14, and then I got confused and… Continue reading #13
The summer of __________
It is September 1st, which usually for me always marks the unofficial start to fall. September - December is by far my favorite time of the year, and going way back to when I was in school, I generally loved the whole "going back to school" routine. (I mean, of course I was always sad summer… Continue reading The summer of __________
The book is always better
Friday night after Asher's swim practice, we all watched The Hunger Games. A friend recently lent us the whole triology (the books), and Ethan devoured them all in literally a matter of days. On the way home from Florida, Asher finally finished a very thick book he had been working on, so he started in on… Continue reading The book is always better
Good Stuff
I'm feeling so relaxed this morning! We have this wide open weekend with no plans which, as I mentioned last week, I NEEDED to get my life back in order. Despite my continued frustration with the impending start to school/ virtual fiasco, there's been a bunch of good stuff swirling around in my head so… Continue reading Good Stuff
School Update
I hinted at this in my post the other day, but I should probably address this fully. So, school. Just another one of the 1,000,000 hot topics of the year that gives people another thing to fight and disagree about. This one really gets me riled up personally, so I'm going to try to keep this… Continue reading School Update
Modified Mornings
Yet again coming at you later than usual, though I guess it's only 7:30. After the last two days of the electrician here at 7 am, today we had an appointment at 7:00 with an arborist to give us a quote for removing a (huge) newly dead ash tree in our yard, plus scope out… Continue reading Modified Mornings
