How was your weekend?Mine was good! Obviously, it was Father’s Day yesterday so that was a big focus. But Friday night and Saturday were good days here too. Some highlights!Friday night:Some alone time! Ivan and the boys rented the indoor soccer field at the gym for an hour after work. I stayed home, put some… Continue reading Weekend Recap
I despise buying gifts for my husband….
It’s Father’s Day today. I’m going to be honest here. I love, love, LOVE the Dads in my life- my husband, my own Dad and my father-in-law- and they are all so very worthy of celebration, but when this day rolls around, part of me is always like, “oh man, another holiday I’m supposed to… Continue reading I despise buying gifts for my husband….
Have we all become homebodies by choice?
I’ve been thinking about something, as things start to open back up and we have moved into Phase 2 here in Wisconsin. Throughout the strict pandemic lockdown, I assumed that as soon as things lifted, people would flood back out into the world, like horses charging out of the starting gate, desperate to get back… Continue reading Have we all become homebodies by choice?
Friday Five: Good Things!
Happy Friday! I don’t really know why I sometimes say “Happy Friday!” or “Happy Wednesday!” in the opening of these blog posts….I am really not the kind of person who says “Happy-insert-day-of-the-week” in real life. But for some reason, it always feels like a nice, cheery way to greet my blog readers. LOL! Anyway, Hello,… Continue reading Friday Five: Good Things!
Stop When You’re Done
Oof, this morning was one of those mornings that I just did not have much energy. The alarm went off at 5:00 as usual but I just felt tired and groggy. Ended up hitting the snooze button a couple times. More than really feeling "sleepy", my body just felt kind of heavy and tired. I got… Continue reading Stop When You’re Done
Well, how about that! Who knew?
I learned something new last night that kind of blew my mind! I’m sort of hesitantly sharing this, because I’m not exactly sure if this SHOULD be new information to me…..I kind of wonder if this is one of those things that everybody else already knew, but I sort of somehow missed the memo?? Last… Continue reading Well, how about that! Who knew?
COVID-19, please stop ruining my travel plans
*I need to preface this post by saying that I realize that what I’m about to talk about is really not very important in the grand scheme of things occurring in the world. I know that this pandemic has caused immense physical and emotional difficulties, pain, stress and economic hardship for so many people in… Continue reading COVID-19, please stop ruining my travel plans
All good things must come to an end
….and by that, I mean the kids are coming home today. LOL. Yes, the time has come for them to return from their little trip to my parents' house. The boys are not happy about it, I could probably live without them for a couple more days 😉 … Only my parents are probably breathing… Continue reading All good things must come to an end
Am I spending 1/3 of my life on my phone??
I was texting with a friend/co-worker yesterday, and she said something that made me stop in my tracks for a second. It wasn’t anything novel or new, and it wasn’t even totally accurate, but it stuck with me all day and overnight. We were talking about all the constant negativity online and just how overwhelming… Continue reading Am I spending 1/3 of my life on my phone??
3 Things on a Saturday
Ah, a Saturday morning with no kids home. 😊 How relaxing. (Actually, I’m kind of exaggerating the difference- at this point, the boys rarelywake us up on a Saturday. They generally make a beeline for the living room since on Saturdays they can play video games when they wake up for a while). But still,… Continue reading 3 Things on a Saturday
