*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
Word of the Year: Intentionality
It’s so hard to believe, but being June, it means the year is basically about half over. Obviously, this has been a WEIRD (oh, so very weird) year, but, I guess I don’t think we necessarily have to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Surely there must be some good things we can still accomplish,… Continue reading Word of the Year: Intentionality
Bye!!!!!!
Yesterday a strange thing happened. My kids went somewhere. Away from home. Away from me! Away from us. And I don’t just mean outside to the neighbor’s yard for an hour! We packed up their things and they climbed in the car with my Mom and drove over an hour away to stay at my… Continue reading Bye!!!!!!
A vacation day to….work?? And a little bit about “priorities!”
Yesterday I took a vacation day with the intention to work all day. Wait, what?? Yep, that’s right. I took a vacation day from my paid job to work for free at my house all day. 😊 Do you ever do this? I do this fairly regularly- at least a couple times per year probably.… Continue reading A vacation day to….work?? And a little bit about “priorities!”
Summer Routine
Today is Day 2 of what I call our “official summer break”.Their "last day of school" pictureSo far, we’ve mostly been winging it schedule wise, which has been overall okay (for now....) I felt perfectly fine last week just letting the boys do basically whatever they wanted- that first week or so I always think… Continue reading Summer Routine
Why Complain
Well, things sure change fast sometimes. I had a great weekend- that fun yet productive summer day and night on Saturday, and then a sort of lazier day yesterday filled with a good amount of relaxing time, Chipotle for lunch, a couple of TV shows, catching up on some work out on the deck and… Continue reading Why Complain
Summer Nights
Yesterday felt like “SUMMER” with capital letters. Specifically, a “summer night”. And every time I say the words “summer night”, I inevitably think of the song “Summer Nights” and the movie “Grease”.You see, when I was growing up, maybe around 13ish?, my sister, best friend and I went through a period of time where we… Continue reading Summer Nights
