Ethan had his end of season soccer dinner banquet Sunday night. The coach is, ahem, very wordy, and the entire event was slated to run from 5:30 pm- 8:30 pm and it definitely went the ENTIRE time. Don't get me wrong, it was great. But also, long, and meant we got home at about 9:15… Continue reading A new woe: volunteering
Realizing now yesterday's post was probably a bit hasty, as I quickly pounded it out and hit publish without editing. Looking back, it's a little all over the place and dramatic and also sort of angsty sounding. ha. Ah, well. First, thanks to those who wrote supportive comments. 💗 You are all correct. I am… Continue reading More information
Ugh, my workout consistency has been fairly terrible...and not really short term, either. This is now officially an ongoing problem that waxes and wanes. Yes, it's true that I exercise regularly. But I just so rarely hit all of my target workouts anymore, or even all of my planned strength workouts. Back from 2015-2020, I… Continue reading More workout woes…
After Halloween on Friday, we've had a fun and very enjoyable weekend! My parents arrived around 4 p.m. on Friday and stayed until ~11:15 a.m. today (Sunday), so we had a nice chunk of time with them. They came with us to Ethan's big Sectional Final soccer game at 1 p.m yesterday. Unfortunately, the weather… Continue reading The rest of the weekend
And here we are, 2 months to the end of 2025! What. We had a super nice, low-key Halloween. Very different from years ago, but still nice. Our family tradition for Halloween is that I make chili and we have salad + French bread + Halloween cupcakes (or, cake, if you forgot to buy the… Continue reading November already!
Well, I went to write my October Recap and realized that I never wrote my September Recap! I can't have that!! I have not missed a single other month. I was going to attempt to combine Sept and Oct but as soon as I started I was like, nope. Who am I kidding. I don't… Continue reading September 2025 Recap
First of all, thank you for such amazing and robust comments on my travel hacking post the other day!! I can see that it's sort of a "polarizing" topic, with people having quite strong arguments for and against it. I haven't had a chance to respond to all your comments yet, but I will soon,… Continue reading Tuesday randomness
There's been a lot of talk lately "in the world" (or at least, my world) about travel hacking and credit card rewards and ways to optimize these things to save significantly on annual travel expenses. It is very impressive what some people seem to be able to do with this! From afar, it definitely seems… Continue reading Travel hacking…this feels like Costco to me…
Sunday, October 12 Looking back to Day 4, you'll remember that Sarah and I closed down The Library pub on Saturday night. 😅 As such, we were looking forward to a lazy Sunday morning. We'd been pretty busy and active so far, and I think we both liked the idea of a little time to… Continue reading Days 5-6 Nova Scotia: Medford Beach!!!, winery lunch, more fall fun and goodbyes…
Argh, I still have not had a spare second to sort my final Nova Scotia pics and get that post up. BUT I WILL! Because the last days were incredible and deserve all the attention too! So please stay tuned... hopefully soon...😫 (Promise you won't skip it just because it's late!!!) It feels like so… Continue reading Some days in the life
