Happy Easter 2020! As I prefaced in my post from yesterday, we didn't have any major plans for today. So far we are all still wearing PJs and it's mid-afternoon. We did get up and do the Easter basket/ egg hunt! The, ahem, "Easter Bunny" really stepped up his basket hiding game this year. Since the boys… Continue reading Easter Morning! Also, some general pandemic observations.
Weekend Ramblings and Why I Feel “Blah” about Easter
Well, I woke up to the news that the worldwide death toll from the coronavirus has surpassed the 100,000 mark. Great and good morning to me! I have been trying to stay relatively removed from constantly reading and watching the news coverage of it all. It just gets to be a bit too much for me.… Continue reading Weekend Ramblings and Why I Feel “Blah” about Easter
Good Friday

“I’m not creative”
Good Thursday morning! Today is technically the kids' school week Friday, since they don't have school tomorrow for Good Friday. We got a gorgeous morning for our walk before school yesterday!

How have I been MORE productive during the pandemic??

Yo-Yo workout and another weekend at home
What a difference some sunshine can make! Although I am usually actually a big sucker for cloudy, cozy, rainy (or snowy) days, there is something about the first days of warm sunshine in the Midwest that just feels SO GOOD. Yesterday we had full sunshine all day, despite chilly temps in the upper-40's/low- 50's. I had… Continue reading Yo-Yo workout and another weekend at home
