I peeked back in my "Blog Ideas" folder in Google Keep and saw I had once jotted down that I wanted to talk about Vertical Ownership regarding household responsibilities (aka "who does what"). I'll keep this specific to between me and Ivan, not counting stuff the boys help out with. IVAN: -cell phone related stuff-… Continue reading Vertical ownership
Yay, NaBloPoMo is here! I already laid out my plan, but in case you missed it, it's: post every day in November my posts must be <500 words (*I might make an exception for the quinceanera recap which I still haven't gotten around to) no daily themes. I'm not a "theme blogger" and I generally… Continue reading NaBloPoMo Day 1! And Halloween 2024
Happy Halloween! I hope you all have a spooky and fun day wearing orange and black or dressing up or doing whatever it is that you do. 🎃 I want to address something important today. In case you hadn't heard, the U.S. is about to have an election! I mean, who knew?! 😆 Of course,… Continue reading A P-Free Zone
Yes, a dramatic title.... to talk about cooking + meal planning. Seriously though, why does this always feel so hard?! It annoys the living daylights out of me, for various reasons. First, compared to I think a lot of families, we don't even cook that much. We are not above eating out pretty frequently. 🤷♀️… Continue reading Why is this always so hard
I still need to get one more Mexico post up (to recap the actual quinceanera!) but not feeling like sorting through all those pictures today. I think I'll just do a Monday Misc. post here with some random, real time life updates. 🙂 Charlie sleeping: First, how sweet is this pic of Charlie? I took… Continue reading Squeezing in some fall fun, a planning challenge, and Monday misc.
Day 4: Wednesday, October 16th Picking back up... Wednesday morning I'm not really sure what we did. I think we were just mostly around the house- maybe Ivan and his brother ran a couple errands? Anyway, nothing too exciting happened in the a.m. In the afternoon, we (just me, Ivan, Ethan, Asher, Kaly and Ivan's… Continue reading Wednesday-Thursday: Metepec, and my birthday in Mexico!!
Sorry guys! Totally fell off the blogging wagon this trip! But that's okay. I ended up sort of not really having time, but mostly I sort of just wasn't feeling it (blogging, not the trip!). So I didn't. We got home yesterday afternoon. (All smooth except one of the LONGEST lines for immigration at O'Hare… Continue reading We’re home! Mexico trip brain dump
Tuesday, October 15- Day 3 This was a pretty relaxing day!! Which was fine by me. My father-in-law had to work, and others had a variety of little errands etc to do. Ivan was in and out with his mom/brother for part of the day and then he, his brother, Asher and Kalej all went… Continue reading A pretty chill day in Toluca
Oh man, this last week felt like a total blur!! I think I touched on this already, but I felt like I crammed about 3 weeks’ worth of stuff into this single week between Nashville and Mexico. Work was also insane. Ivan left for Mexico Thursday at 4 pm, so I was also on my… Continue reading Last few days/ arrival to Mexico!
The week/ weekend: This is a bit of a weird week, as I have just one week home sandwiched in between 2 weeks away. I was rather exhausted this past weekend after Nashville! I was glad to hear on a call yesterday that I was not alone. My boss said she took super long naps… Continue reading Sandwich week, fall stuff, etc.
GRATEFUL KAE
