We have been totally kid-free over here since last Thursday morning! So almost a week now. (In case you missed it, Ethan is at my parents' house, and Asher is at his cousin's.) It has been nice!! I have this little feeling like I'm not, I don't know, fully capitalizing on this rare kid-free time… Continue reading Some kid-free days and a digression
A recap: week of 7/31 workouts
Shall I try this again?? It was both fun and motivating to write a workout recap last week, so here's round 2! Monday I started out the week in a bit of a stupor after having been away most of the weekend. I felt good, just kind of groggy and slow. No early morning walks… Continue reading A recap: week of 7/31 workouts
A ME day… and passing on a travel opportunity
I am feeling GOOD today!! I feel minorly guilty saying this so excitedly, but I'll say it anyway: Both boys are away from home for a while!!! This is a very rare situation around here. Ethan wanted to go stay with my parents for a week before school starts (he does this most summers and… Continue reading A ME day… and passing on a travel opportunity
Definitely feeling the new month vibes! Hello August!
It's August!!! How, I do not know, since I literally still feel like I just got home from Costa Rica. But that was March 26, so apparently that was over 4 months ago now. This is the first month in a while that I actually feel in the right head space to embrace the "new… Continue reading Definitely feeling the new month vibes! Hello August!
A recap: last week’s workouts
Since I'm trying to re-establish my consistency in the gym after a wonky summer so far, I thought it might be motivating to share a workout recap. This format is 100% inspired by Jenny's weekly workout recaps (which I love). (I love her blog in general. I don't know how it wasn't on my radar… Continue reading A recap: last week’s workouts
No Gym Fridays
I am trying to get back to consistency with my workouts, but I had a little revelation this week: The gym doesn't really fit in very well on Fridays. This is kind of one of those things where I kept trying to force a square peg into a round hole. *I should clarify- the gym… Continue reading No Gym Fridays
Thursday Thoughts
🔷 I feel 1,000 times better and more myself this week. The biggest factor I think is a more normal workweek, where I'm more in control of my schedule again. The audit isn't over yet, but the "heaviest lifting" re: prep work is done. So this week I'm not needing to focus on any of… Continue reading Thursday Thoughts
Current time block method
Now that I'm sort of getting "back in the groove" of life, I've resumed my current method of time blocking. Since I've been really leaning into my Google Calendar, I've been trying to fine tune some of my digital habits and systems. One thing for me that has never really worked is doing time blocking… Continue reading Current time block method
Interesting idea, weekend, etc.
An interesting product! This weekend we stopped at Best Buy so Asher could get a new screen protector for his phone. I wandered around a little bit, looking at the latest tech gadgets. I'm rather out of the loop when it comes to "cool tech stuff", besides my iphone and Apple watch. Oh well. Part… Continue reading Interesting idea, weekend, etc.
The week
*Started this post Friday afternoon but then got interrupted and didn't finish it. This week is kind of a TGIF week. Work has been bonkers. We have this big regulatory audit coming up and it has involved a lot of prep work. To the tune of much/most other work getting ignored, and all hands on… Continue reading The week
