This has been a pretty swim dominated weekend so far. Friday night Asher and I attended the high school swim meet. His best swim friend is a year older and already in high school, so we went to watch him swim. It made Asher very excited to do HS swim next year!! There is a… Continue reading A swimming weekend and Christmas challenge check-in
1. I am loving all of the "Yearly Round Up" posts that are starting to circulate. They are so fun to read and give me great ideas! Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to sit down and formulate any of my own thoughts on any of these yet. A few post ideas I've seen… Continue reading Friday 5: long-winded exercise update edition (and other misc)
Monday night we had a fun family outing. I feel like generally speaking, 2023 is not the year that we are doing "all the holiday fun things". It's just been a weird year with the puppy and the bathroom remodel and the houseguests, yada yada. You all know, if you've been reading along. Plus, we're… Continue reading A fun holiday evening!!
There are officially 12 days until Christmas! I forget now who said it- maybe Jenny? No, I think it was Suzanne- but I 100% agree that the holidays seem to exist in two phases. Phase #1: It's way too early for Christmas music and decorations!! Christmas is so far away yet! Phase #2: Christmas is… Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas Challenge 2023!
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
GRATEFUL KAE
