So, I hadn't mentioned this yet, but this past Sunday Asher suddenly started complaining of a headache and was bit lethargic. By the evening he felt really warm, so we checked his temp. 102.9! Yikes.Trying to get his vitamins in....he has been super into making frozen berry smoothies every morning! Normally I wouldn't really be that… Continue reading Our Field Trip to the COVID Testing Center….
My Gratitude Journey
My cover or "theme" photo for this blog and a picture I feel sort of embodies this whole gratitude movement to me. This photo was taken in Canyonlands National Park, Utah last August while I was vacationing with my family. It was one of those moments that I just felt overwhelmed by the vast openness… Continue reading My Gratitude Journey
An “Off” Day
The purpose of this blog for me was to be a place to share some of my personal life, as well as to be a place to talk about positivity, gratitude, productivity and just overall well-being- sort of my own little journey of personal growth, I guess you could say. That being said, one concern I… Continue reading An “Off” Day
A Reading Dilemma
Reading has always been a favorite pastime of mine, since I was a little girl. My whole family likes to read, so I’ve always assumed it was a learned behavior. I grew up reading, so I never really knew any other way. However, now as an adult, I know a lot of people who love… Continue reading A Reading Dilemma
Lazy, Rainy Sunday
Ohhh, this was one of those lazy mornings that just felt so indulgent.I was up late last night – it was probably close to midnight before we finally went to sleep. We don’t have any plans today and I got a sort of “second wind” after half dozing through a movie with the kids and… Continue reading Lazy, Rainy Sunday
“Remember When…”: Pandemic Memories
Good morning! It’s another beautiful day outside where I am. Yesterday was just GORGEOUS (after a foggy start). I scheduled in a break from 12:15- 1:00 p.m. to hang out and read with the boys. We went out to their little “tree house”/ old swing set with blankets and read a chapter from our Dangerous… Continue reading “Remember When…”: Pandemic Memories
Don’t Think
Yay, it’s Friday! All the days kind of run together a bit right now, but like I’ve said before, Fridays tend to be a nice, calm work day for me since the boys usually wrap up their schoolwork a little earlier.I was up at 5:00 sharp this morning. I’ve slept good and hard the last… Continue reading Don’t Think
Online School, Flexibility and Life Lessons
This is a quote that I have always really liked. I've heard it a lot in the fitness world, but I think it applies to all aspects of life. In the fitness and health realm, it refers to staying true to your goals (decisions) but knowing that there is more than one way to get there.… Continue reading Online School, Flexibility and Life Lessons
It’s Wednesday
What's happening? How's your Wednesday shaping up? I really feel like this week is flying by. The boys have piano lessons on Thursdays and I feel like it was just Thursday, and now it is going to be Thursday again tomorrow already. Yikes. I guess time flies either way- when I'm really busy, or when I'm really… Continue reading It’s Wednesday
What’s For Dinner?
I've mentioned this before, but one thing I am actually really liking during this time is the increased ability to have real, home cooked meals together as a family. Our "normal" schedule is unfortunately just not conducive to this. Typically, Ivan doesn't get home until after 6 pm from work. Asher usually has swim practice many/most… Continue reading What’s For Dinner?
