ARGH, I'm soooo annoyed right now. Remember how I said Asher has his big Regional Championship swim meet this weekend? The one they train for all season long- essentially the culmination of the season (besides State, but he's not likely to qualify this year because he just aged up to the next age group)? Also,… Continue reading Gah… come on!
Ahhh, it's another snow day today!! No school two Thursdays in a row. (It seemed like the forecast was kind of wishy-washy/ unclear as to exactly how much our specific location is going to get, so I wasn't sure what would happen with school. Seems like the bulk of it is coming later in the… Continue reading Time + Control
It is definitely February. Obviously- you all know this. But what I mean is that that new year window of January is most decidedly over for me. See, January always tends to be a "lull" month around here. Probably not for everyone, but in my current life, January is always pretty chill. Just not usually… Continue reading February/ time constraints/ missing workouts: a time block explanation
To anyone who spends a lot of time solo parenting young kids (and that was ME back in the day... our work schedules used to be wacko and I was alone A LOT with our very young boys....), can I just say: IT GETS SO MUCH EASIER!!! Ivan left on Wednesday, and these last few… Continue reading Solo parenting days: teen edition
Thursday, March 24, 2022 On Thursday we had to say goodbye to Rome. The boys loved Rome so much they were literally begging me to reschedule our flights to extend our stay. Ha! That wasn't happening, but we still did have a couple days in Dublin to look forward to. My parents were ultimately going… Continue reading Day 13: Rome to Dublin
I know I already shared a little recap of how my goals went in January (see that here). But today I spent a few minutes filling out my January Review section in my Wonderland 222 planner. In the past ~6 months or so, I've been using this space to just jot down any highlights or… Continue reading January 2023- Highlight Reel
I woke up at 2 a.m. when Ivan got up to leave for the airport. His flight was at 6 a.m., out of Chicago, which meant a very early departure time from home. YUCK. I am sooo not a fan of super early flights, but I guess on the plus side, they'll be in Mexico… Continue reading Travel: me vs. him
Tuesday already! These past few days were a blur. The weekend was highly dominated by Asher's swim meet both Saturday and Sunday. But first, on Friday night we still squeezed in our date night: Switched it up from nachos and got a big quesadilla to share instead! Neither macro friendly nor low carb, but, delicious.… Continue reading Weekend snapshots + shoes for Costa Rica
I actually wasn't going to post today, because I just don't really feel like I have anything too exciting to share today. lol. But Asher has a swim meet this weekend (early session both days), so not sure if I'll be able to check in much over the weekend or not. This was a nice,… Continue reading The week
It's February! Cue everyone saying, "Oh my goodness, can you believe it's February already???" 😄 But it is crazy to me to realize that 2023 is 1/12th over already. I'm feeling pretty solid about how 2023 is going in terms of goals/ resolutions/ what have you so far. Habit Tracker: Read: 26/31 days Walk: 19/31… Continue reading 1 down!
