This has not been the year of my "annual goals". Honestly I can't even remember if I shared my list. I may not have, in part because the last few years, I've made lofty lists and then more or less forget about them. Not to say I haven't done a lot of things! But I… Continue reading 2024 Goals update
Long time readers know that I keep a "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff" daily calendar on my desk. I love the little inspirational tidbits, and I love that they've now started adding lines for Notes on the back! I keep the old ones stacked up and I grab them all the time for scratch paper.… Continue reading October lessons
I finally cleaned my office yesterday. I aim to do this monthly, but it gets away from me sometimes. It's not a large chore, but you know how it goes. It's important, though, because as things pile up and it literally starts to get dusty, I obviously just don't feel my most centered and professional!… Continue reading It’s Christmas in my office + idea request
It's a gloomy, rainy Sunday here and all I feel like doing right now is cuddling up with a blanket and.... well, that's about it. Haha. But I've been puttering around on the computer for too long now already (caught up on some blog comments, sketched out a MEAL PLAN for the week, etc.), and… Continue reading Quick Sunday post/ dinner woes update/ other misc
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!!
GRATEFUL KAE
