Happy May Day! I wish I could say that I bounded out of bed this morning, eager to embrace a new day and a new month! But in reality, I overslept (something I very rarely do anymore) and borderline had to force myself to do my workout because I felt a little bit like I… Continue reading April Goals Review
Thursday update and Equality in Parenting- a great podcast episode!
Good Thursday morning! Is it just me or are the weeks kind of flying by all of a sudden? At first this time seemed to drag on, but suddenly it seems like the days are just zooming by. Maybe we are just settled into routine now which is making time feel like it is passing more… Continue reading Thursday update and Equality in Parenting- a great podcast episode!
203 Days With My Children
Yesterday it dawned on me that with the closure of school through the end of the year, this means that assuming they return on schedule on September 1st, the kids will have been home full time with me for 5 1/2 months. To be precise, 203 days. The last day my boys went to school was… Continue reading 203 Days With My Children
COVID + My Job= A Quick Update!
If you've been following my posts for the last couple weeks, you will have seen me mention some uncertainties surrounding my job. First, there was very real talk that I might need to go back to some sort of patient care role if WI experienced a surge in COVID cases (I mentioned it here and then shared about… Continue reading COVID + My Job= A Quick Update!
The Perfect Day
While I try to generally look on the bright side if I can, I'm not honestly always someone who sees everything as sunshine and rainbows necessarily. I feel like by nature I'm actually naturally a bit more "pessimistic", which is why over the past 5 years or so I have actively been working on changing this… Continue reading The Perfect Day

A few items checked off the list around our house were:I did a sort of deeper clean of our bedroom (dust, vacuum, straighten, etc) and decided to wash all of the pillowcases for our many different decorative toss pillows on our bed. I can't even remember when they… Continue reading Will My House Ever Be Clean Again?
Journaling Fails and my Highlight Journal system!
Good Saturday morning. It was nice to sleep in a little bit today. I still generally like getting up early on the weekends, but it depends what time I get to bed if I set an alarm or not. Last night I decided not to set one. I was awake in the night too for a… Continue reading Journaling Fails and my Highlight Journal system!
So… can we talk about COVID or not? Plus, Mexican food is life.
I have a bit of a burning question. How much "COVID talk" is okay?? I have been thinking about this a lot lately and am curious to know what others think about it. From my observations, I have noted two… Continue reading So… can we talk about COVID or not? Plus, Mexican food is life.
A Random Thursday: Work Worries, a new School Schedule and Lemon Bars
The last few days have felt pretty manageable. There hasn't been a lot of real significance to report, but overall I feel like this week has been going relatively smoothly. No big issues on the school front, no big issues on the home front. The only "issue" would be on the work front, which I… Continue reading A Random Thursday: Work Worries, a new School Schedule and Lemon Bars
What are you Wednesday? (and, Happy Earth Day!)
Happy Earth Day, World. Today I am going to do a fun little post inspired by something I saw on another blog recently, but first I just want to take a quick moment to say Happy Earth Day. Now, I will admit this is not a holiday that we really generally "celebrate" in our household. But,… Continue reading What are you Wednesday? (and, Happy Earth Day!)
