Okay, it’s a new day. Yesterday was June 1st, but as you know, I didn’t really have it in me yesterday to write a regular post. It felt like the world was imploding (honestly, it still does to me). I hope you enjoyed the wise words of MLK Jr in my place. But I had a… Continue reading A New Day
Be The Light
I have no strength or energy this morning to write a usual post. The world feels heavy and sad. I just don't even have words to describe what I'm thinking and feeling right now about the state of things happening in our country, nor is this blog meant to be a place for heated discussions… Continue reading Be The Light
Weekend Check In and a To Do List
Good morning! How is your weekend going?I’m writing this later than usual because I slept in and was having tea in the sunroom with Ivan, just chatting and making a little game plan for the day. I am loving how GREEN everything is finally!! I have a pretty long list of “stuff” that I/ we need… Continue reading Weekend Check In and a To Do List
How to Raise A Pro Athlete
“How to Raise a Pro Athlete” sounds like the title of a best-selling book, doesn’t it? A book that would probably be flying off the shelves by millions of wild-eyed parents, envisioning their little Johnny’s name in lights. The fame! The fortune! The scholarships! Who knows, maybe this book already exists! If not, someone is probably… Continue reading How to Raise A Pro Athlete
Date Night
I almost forgot to share this! Ivan and I had our first little “date night” out on Wednesday night. I want to jot down what the experience was like so I can remember this little COVID milestone! The boys were going to a mini "birthday party" for our neighbor girl (i.e. playing outside only like… Continue reading Date Night
Atomic Habits
“I have the bad habit of….” or “I wish I had the habit of…..” or “Ugh, I shouldn’t do this, it’s such a bad habit…” This is a great podcast in general! Check it out. I am fascinated by the topic of habit formation and have read a few books on it lately. A few weeks ago… Continue reading Atomic Habits
Something I’m Not Missing
I feel a little guilty even writing this post, but it’s something that has been swirling around in my head for a while. One thing, despite the many, many things that I’ve been missing, that I’m just….not. I don’t miss volunteer work.There. I said it out loud. For a little context, it’s not even that… Continue reading Something I’m Not Missing
Here we go…Opening Day?
Coming at you from the most BEAUTIFUL morning outside right now….warm and humid and very summer-like (trying to merge my love for being out on the deck on summer mornings with also wanting to write):Welp, today is the day! May 26, which is the official “lift” date of the Safer at Home order for my… Continue reading Here we go…Opening Day?
Gratitude in Photos
Since today is a holiday, and I'm sure you are all spending time sleeping in, relaxing with family or hopefully just enjoying your day somehow, I am going to keep this short and sweet. 🙂 I've been having a really nice weekend and just want to share a little photo montage of some things I am… Continue reading Gratitude in Photos
Landscaping and Garden Haul
As I mentioned yesterday, I usually end up doing some yard work, garden planting or flower planting over Memorial Day weekend. My typical “spring garden haul” includes a bunch of annuals for our front rock bed (mostly perennials, but I have planted a bunch of new ones and the majority just don’t come back….I don’t know.… Continue reading Landscaping and Garden Haul
