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!
April Goals Review
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
Will My House Ever Be Clean Again?
Yesterday afternoon we spent some time cleaning. 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!
