Ivan and I spent a little time last night hashing out a birthday gift list for Ethan. His birthday is coming up in just a couple weeks, so we need to get going. Especially with any shipping delays, I feel like we probably should have had any important/ bigger items ordered by now! I have… Continue reading Approaching the TEENAGE years. OMG.
“What’s your policy on Wednesdays?”
It's Wednesday, which means it's my day off....oh wait. Nope, flex days are over!! Ha. I'm not complaining- I am very grateful overall to be back to full time hours and pay this week. But hey, it was nice while it lasted! Can't say I didn't enjoy having Wednesdays off for the last 8 weeks. It… Continue reading “What’s your policy on Wednesdays?”
Don’t Worry About A Thing
I'm cranky right now. That's about all I can say to sum it up. I have just been tired in general lately, despite a great weekend. I've gotten to bed too late too many nights recently and I'm paying for it now.Also, I made the mistake of lying in bed when my alarm went off… Continue reading Don’t Worry About A Thing

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
