Okay, yes, I said this was going to be a Friday series called Flashback Fridays. But come on. We all know that I am not an Organized Blogger who does things on a schedule. Most likely these past travel recaps will make random appearances whenever I get to them! 🙂 Without further delay, please enjoy… Continue reading Travel Tuesday: 2007 Honeymoon to Disney World + St. Pete Beach!
Hello hello! Happy Monday. This was a largely very nice weekend- shockingly "open", for our standards. We had no out of town visitors, Asher did not have swim practice, no one played soccer. The only events were a birthday party Asher attended on Fri night (but the Birthday Mom joyfully both picked him up and… Continue reading Weekend accomplishments/ why don’t I feel relaxed?
Darn it...despite my best intentions to keep blogging briefly and frequently after NaBloPoMo ended, I guess I really didn't. Today is Thursday, December 7th, and it looks like I've only posted 2x since the 1st. Work has been really busy this week. Lots of meetings, a project, and a last minute/ time sensitive "ask" that… Continue reading The past week, (mostly) photo edition
I didn't end up posting on his birthday, but I didn't want to neglect mentioning that Asher turned 14 on Saturday!!! This blows my mind, but at the same time, he's ready. I am sensing a feeling of him being "over" middle school, excitement to move on to high school next year, an increasingly developing… Continue reading 14-year-old perks and a trip down memory lane
So, I had a little epiphany recently. Ever since I started posting my Travel recaps (when I started this blog in 2020), I have occasionally thought, "Oh... wouldn't it be neat if I had travel recaps like these from ALL of our trips as a family??" But we got married in 2007. From 2007-2020 is… Continue reading Flashback Friday series: Intro
Day 30 of NaBloPoMo is here, and something strange has happened. I can’t really think of anything to write about today. Surprisingly, throughout these last 30 days, this has not been a problem. Ever! I mean, I’m not saying every post has been profound- nope, not at all. But I just sat here for a… Continue reading Final post… a day in the life
Haven’t shared an OOTD in a while now… I am still attempting to “get dressed” more days than not and unearth some unworn items from my closet. But it’s a little spotty and depends on the day. Yesterday I had a meeting, so I decided to wear “dress pants” to just feel a bit more… Continue reading Fuzzy socks win and thoughts on NaBloPoMo
Today I did something I haven’t done in a LONG time: I ran! On the treadmill, because it was very cold out and let’s not get too crazy. I really need to do more cardio. You all know I am Team Strength Training, and I feel pretty strongly that strength training is the secret sauce… Continue reading I ran!
I had a really heart-pounding, scary dream last night. I dreamt that somehow, we were informed that surprise! We didn't actually own Charlie... we were apparently merely fostering him. And the time had now come that we needed to turn him over to his "forever owners". Who were not going to be us. O.M.G. I… Continue reading A very scary dog dream + puppy love
#1: Our first real snowfall! And Ethan’s first time driving in the snow. (Photo taken from passenger seat on the way to Ethan’s 7 am McDonald’s shift.) It wasn’t a ton of snow and it was wet, so it really wasn’t very slippery. But we still managed to have an argument (before leaving home) as… Continue reading Sunday scenes: teens driving in snow and teen reading
