Thursday, October 9 After a good night’s sleep, I woke up, showered and got ready for our day’s adventures, while Elisabeth shuttled kids out the door and off to school. We had a light breakfast (leftover homemade biscuit and peanut butter and tea for me) and Elisabeth took care of a few things on her… Continue reading Day 2: Nova Scotia! Cape Split, brewery lunch and more
Ahhhhh, I have been dying to start writing recaps because I’m just bursting to share how incredible these last few days have been, but I have also been just too busy actually EXPERIENCING all of the awesomeness, so… I just haven’t had time! 🙂 Obviously. 🙂 I have a sliver of time right now though… Continue reading Day 1: Nova Scotia!!
Good morning! According to the handy dandy “countdown timer” at the top of my screen courtesy of the United app, I have 28:43 minutes until my next flight starts boarding. As such, I’m currently sitting in a pleasantly uncrowded lounge area eating a surprisingly tasty egg and cheese sandwich with breakfast potatoes. Evidence exhibit A… Continue reading Hi from Newark… it’s happening!
Hi. 🙂 Things have not slowed down but we're in the home stretch now of my in-laws' visit. For me, we're down to 1 day! They don't fly back to Mexico until early Sunday morning, but I leave tomorrow bright and early for Nova Scotia!!! (!!!!!!!!!!!). By the time I get home late Monday night,… Continue reading Final stretch + the weekend
It's been a whole week since I've posted! I have not had much margin and frankly am feeling rather out of sorts, but there's been a lot of good stuff this week, too. I am feeling a need to do a brain dump/ vent session though, so... may I? Things that have me feeling stressed… Continue reading Highs/Lows, the week, etc.
Eek, it's been a little crazy! Last weekend we did sort of a mad rush to get the house cleaned, including the basement rec room/ guest room/ my office/ guest bathroom (which are the spaces that do not normally make it into our every-other-week cleaning routine), in anticipation of my in-laws arriving on Monday. But… Continue reading Thursday updates!
Welp, it's September 20th and I'm just getting around to doing my August recap. Obviously I could skip it, BUT doing it makes 8/8 so far on monthly recaps this year! So I can't break the streak. 😉 Of course the downfall to writing it 20 days after the month ends is that now I… Continue reading August 2025 Recap
*Don't worry, this isn't a body image post.* But I'm currently feeling so frustrated with my body! I just feel like I'm way too young to suddenly have all these physical ailments, especially when I'm a supposedly "healthy" person who exercises and is active and does all the right things. (Could my diet probably be… Continue reading Frustrations with my body
My Monday: Yesterday was a rare day in that I didn't have any scheduled meetings. That is THE BEST. My old job actually rarely had meetings (was very solo work oriented, back then), and I didn't realize how much I took that for granted. It was a peaceful day and I was able to catch… Continue reading Monday- tired but good + medical mystery
This weekend, we celebrated my mom!! She turned 75 on Friday!! a little blurry but I love this pic! 75 feels "big". Not gonna lie, 75 also sounds... kinda old. I remember when my parents turned 60, and I thought that while 60 was "older", it definitely wasn't old yet. In my mind, I guess… Continue reading A celebratory weekend (*with an unexpected darker turn in the post…*)
GRATEFUL KAE
