How was your Mother's Day? Mother's Day 2020- Ethan 11, Asher 10Mine was lovely! Really, it was such a nice day. It was rainy and cold but that really didn't bother me in the slightest. I was in the mood to just kind of lay low and have a lazy day, and that's pretty much what… Continue reading Weekend Recap
Today’s Three Things
I ran across a great productivity tip this past week that I'm really loving! It is called "Today's Three Things." The idea is that each morning as you get organized for the day, you pick three things that you want to accomplish that day. It doesn't have to be work-related or even something traditionally "productive". Just 3 things… Continue reading Today’s Three Things
Let It Be
After writing the post yesterday about the "new normal", I had COVID on the brain a little bit on and off all day. As you know, I've tried (and mostly have succeeded) to feel pretty okay about all of this- I have been trying to focus a lot on the positives and have actually enjoyed… Continue reading Let It Be
New Normal
In case you hadn't noticed, these are some strange times. This whole thing has just been totally wacka-doodle, but I feel that right now things are even stranger. I personally am someone who generally thrives on routines and predictability. I tend to feel uneasy when I don't know what to expect or when things are changing all… Continue reading New Normal

But first, I feel obligated to share a very brief history lesson (Spanish major = I took a bunch of classes on Latin American history in college + I'm married to a Mexican 😊). I… Continue reading The Parable of the Mexican Fisherman
‘Meditation May’
Morning! Today is a much needed rest day from working out, so I have a little extra time this morning. I might sneak in a little yoga at some point if I get a chance and I'm hoping to go for a walk. This is also a half/ flex day of work for me so… Continue reading ‘Meditation May’
A Weekend with No Kids Activities
How was everyone's weekend??!! This was our 6th weekend home since the lock down began. We had some just gorgeous weather here in Wisconsin and I think everyone was trying to soak it up. It is going to be much cooler the rest of the week. My phone alerted me on Saturday morning that Asher's soccer game… Continue reading A Weekend with No Kids Activities
Some Things I’m Loving on a Sunday
This is a first of the year...I am actually sitting out on our deck on our patio furniture! I've been able to use the deck a little bit on a few other nice days this year, but we finally got the patio furniture out yesterday. It is a beautiful morning on this Sunday. It could be… Continue reading Some Things I’m Loving on a Sunday
May Goals!
As promised, I'm back with my newly updated May 2020 goal list. Since I didn't exactly knock it out of the park with my April accomplishments, many of my May goals are basically rollovers from April. Being the new month and all, I, of course, am feeling rather enlightened and sure that this month however, I will certainly be… Continue reading May Goals!
