I got our tree up on Saturday, and we decorated it Sunday night. The boys and I did it- Ivan had an indoor soccer game at 7. (Traditionally the tree decorating has been a “me + the boys” thing. I am not entirely sure why. Occasionally Ivan is there for it, but for some reason… Continue reading Christmas Tree 2023
Real quick clarification: Last night I posted VERY quickly and rather late from my phone, and I wrote: "At a wedding tonight for a friend of Ivan's son!" My sister in Ireland, who read my blog post with her morning coffee probably while all my U.S. readers were still sleeping, texted me that I had… Continue reading A possibly confusing typo + correction
At a wedding tonight for one of Ivan’s friend’s sons! Thoughts: 1) Having fun! 2) I really wish I were a good Latin dancer. 3) Mexican weddings are the same, but also, very different. 🙂 Felicidades a los novios! 🥂
I sometimes do the cute "Friday 5" posts, but definitely not always. Just depends on my mood. However, it seems like today EVERYBODY did a Friday 5, so, I am joining in. 🙂 1) I worked a flexed schedule today- 5:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. This sounds nice on the surface- done at 1:30! But… Continue reading Friday 5
Charlie watching Asher walk away from the car on his way to school Outfit of the day: posting keeps me accountable and not in the same leggings/hoodie combo I am tempted to wear on repeat. (Not sure if these OOTD posts are fun or annoying?) Friday night date night moved to Thursday (for various reasons).… Continue reading 3 Things Thursday: photo edition

Total= 5 hours, 15 minutes Tuesday night: Wanted to go to bed early, but somehow ended up being awake until 11:15 p.m. (!!) Still not sure exactly what happened. Kids… Continue reading Broken sleep
I've had "clothes" on my mind since I cleaned out my closet this weekend. And as tends to happen, now clothes and style topics are seemingly popping up everywhere. I listened to several really good back episodes of The Lazy Genius while grocery shopping this weekend, all about style. Here are a few: 7 Ways… Continue reading What’s your fashion style?
🔷 A 50 foot dog leash We have a fenced in yard, but our backyard also has a lot of landscaping beds and other places Charlie can get into mischief. He is also definitely still working on recall (i.e. coming to us when called) and currently has very selective hearing. 😆 Letting him off leash… Continue reading A few good recent purchases!
How often do you fully clean out your personal email? I usually always aim to do a big email clean out/ catch up on Fridays. But that does not always happen. So Plan B is anytime over the weekend. Sometimes even this gets away from me and I might end up with up to ~2… Continue reading Email cleanout frequency
Feeling good about this Saturday!! Ivan took Asher to swim practice (6:50 a.m.) and then dropped Ethan at work nearby (7:00 a.m.). They took Charlie with them in the car, so I stayed home and did this: Very nice start to the day! Quickly showered after that and then picked up Asher from swim practice… Continue reading Saturday accomplishments
