YAWN. Sleepy morning over here and kind of a funny one, too. Last night a couple of Ethan's friends came over for a bonfire as sort of a mini birthday party with friends- though "party" is a very loose term here, as it was just a small gathering of the boys playing outside mostly. Ethan got… Continue reading Our (very) brief stint as dog owners 😉
School
Well, it's been a few days now so I guess I have to stop pretending I’m still on vacation and talk about something else. How about….SCHOOL??? Because in the current climate, that’s a fun topic!!! 😊 Hehe. Seriously though, school talk is all the rage right now around here. Probably everywhere, I’m assuming. Our local… Continue reading School

I’m Back! (from the U.P. and, a social media break)
I’m back from our little adventure in the north woods! It was amazing. Briefly, we left home Thursday morning (along with my parents) and drove up to Porcupine Mountain Wilderness State Park in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We spent 3 nights up there and got home just before bedtime last night (Sunday). As I… Continue reading I’m Back! (from the U.P. and, a social media break)
Social Media Break
Good morning! I don't have much time today as I need to go jump in the shower and get moving. We are heading (way) up north today, to the shores of Lake Superior in Porcupine Mountain State Park in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It's about a 5 hour drive, not bad, and we'll just be gone… Continue reading Social Media Break
A good day
The good thing about a bad day is that it’s usually followed by a good day. That’s my experience, anyway. I don’t too oftenhave multiple bad days in a row, maybe because the bad day forces me to stop and re-evaluate WHY it was a bad day and make some intentional changes to avoid another… Continue reading A good day
Dilemmas
Feeling a bit…..something this morning. Not exactly sure what. Sort of a mix between overwhelmed and frustrated. Maybe a touch of anxious and…irritable? I don’t even know. I feel conflicted, too. About several different things.The weekend was awesome- truly, as you saw in my post yesterday, Ethan’s birthday was such a highlight. But I did… Continue reading Dilemmas

Haha.Ethan said to take a pic like this to remember that this was a #covidbirthday!!I think I mentioned that Friday night we were… Continue reading The hug of all hugs

Saturday Check-In
Tea + Outside = Perfect start to the day Good morning! I just rolled out of bed a bit bleary eyed. We were over at friend’s house in the neighborhood last night to hang out on their deck and have a bonfire. It was the most beautiful summer night- warm and humid- and the boys had fun… Continue reading Saturday Check-In
