It has been a true Wisconsin December this year! (Which it often has not been in recent years!) We've been getting a lot of snow (and not just in a big storm here and there- we've been seeing frequent snow showers). If I had to choose when to get snow, I'd definitely pick December! It… Continue reading Snowy December, something odd/creepy, + SOMETHING SUPER EXCITING!
OH MAN you guys, this past week! Was pretty nuts. I knew it going in and it did not disappoint. Let's do a run down of why I had a "sense of impending doom" last Sunday, while also trying to enjoy all the happy things and festive season... Lol, this meme made me laugh. 😅… Continue reading Hanging on, sort of…’tis the season
Asher is 16!! His birthday was Tuesday, December 2nd. The biggest and most exciting part of the day, was, of course, going to take his driver's test!! Fortunately we remembered to log in weeks ago to schedule the appointment on his birthday, which is necessary to do far in advance or the slots fill up.… Continue reading Sweet sixteen for Asher!
Happy December!!!!!! GOSH I can't believe we are in Month 12 of 12 already, but here we are. I don't mean to overdo it here with the workout content lately, but I'm still feeling really excited and happy and optimistic with this new schedule and cadence. And luckily (or unluckily) for you, you usually get… Continue reading My actual December 2025 workouts + new month/new tracking method!
We had a great Thanksgiving! It's a little strange and wistful to me how quickly the holidays come and go.... and then in a blink they come around again.... Anyway, every year is special that we get to be together. 💕 Wednesday Our festivities kicked off on Wednesday evening. My parents arrived late afternoon just… Continue reading Thanksgiving 2025! (And thoughts on a big family decision)
A few weeks ago I posted about my current workout woes. You all so kindly helped me realize that my 'ideal workout plan' (5 strength/ 3 cardio/ 1 yoga) was probably a bit unrealistic for this current stage and season of my life. Given the time constraints of my schedule, this plan meant I was… Continue reading Workouts update: I think this version might stick?
Blogging has had to take a very definitive back seat since we got home from Mexico! I guess 'tis the season that there are a lot of competing priorities. I spent this past weekend in sort of a pre-holiday CRAZE. I suddenly felt this huge pull to just get our whole house "Christmas ready". Even… Continue reading Quick check in/ last weekend/ shopping?
Whoopsies, I ended my last post with "be back tomorrow to recap the wedding!", and that was.... 8 days ago. 😆 The short version of our Mexico trip is that it was essentially a 4 day long PARTY. Haha. It was a bit intense!! And also very fun. But I didn't have too much alone… Continue reading Oops, a very delayed wedding recap
As I said last night, today (Friday November 14) is the wedding day! The mothers of the bride and groom and the bridesmaids and finally the bride were all going to be having their hair and makeup done at the house we’re staying at. The moms had the first appts- 8 am!! The mother of… Continue reading Mexico- wedding day prep!
Well I have officially blown my NaBloPoMo streak to heck over here, haven’t I! Yesterday (Wednesday) we had an early 6:30 am flight out of Madison. On a side note, I swear that for someone who travels quite regularly I am literally the worst packer in the world and no matter WHAT I do or… Continue reading Hola desde México
GRATEFUL KAE
