We're officially over a week into the new year now. I can ALREADY feel that "new year magic energy" kind of dimming!!! Despite my best efforts, something always happens to me around Day 8 of any new plan, etc. that I try to follow. (A couple years ago, I tried repeatedly to do the #75Hard… Continue reading One week in + new endeavor…
I know, Christmas is long gone for most people. It's been replaced with the NEW YEAR energy talk. We may be the only people with our Christmas tree and all decorations still up (honestly, only because I just haven't had any time to take them down yet). Christmas movies and music came to an end… Continue reading Christmas 2022
Mental hurdle: a busy gym I love our local gym, but guess what? So do a lot of other people. And this makes me happy, because it's locally owned by a couple (and the owners are super nice), AND our gym provides an AMAZING place for teens and pre-teens to hang out somewhere safe and… Continue reading Overcoming a mental hurdle, books + a meal plan!
As promised, I'm back with my 2023 Goals Idea List. I'm calling it that instead of a firm "Goals List", because I wouldn't say these are like, hard goals exactly. It's more of a.... brainstorm list, honestly. Which probably is not the right way to approach goal setting, but oh well. I basically just sat… Continue reading 2023 Goals Idea List
If one of your goals for this year is to decrease mindless phone/ tech use, check out this article from Techno Sapiens! She shares a bunch of great ideas for ways to cut back on your screen time. Even though I haven't included cutting screen time as a major goal for my year (those are… Continue reading Tech Use/ Screen Time Widget + early 2023
Happy New Year! It's the first Monday of the new year. New year energy, new month energy, new week energy! I am an absolute sucker for the "fresh start" vibe the new year brings. I know, I know.... statistically speaking, over 80% of people who make New Year's resolutions fail. Apparently 23% of people quit… Continue reading First Monday of 2023!!
Borrowing this from Lisa..... 1) What did you do in 2022 that you'd never done before? Traveled to Europe with my kids! Also went to two professional sporting events in Chicago (first time at pro soccer games). 2) Did anyone close to you give birth? Not that I can think of! 3) Did anyone close… Continue reading 2022 Survey
Gosh, this week was supposed to be kind of a "down" week after our holiday festivities, but as usual, it's managed to still feel rather full! It's been a nice week, just maybe not as super low key as I thought it might be. Still haven't sorted my Christmas pictures, either! So stay tuned for… Continue reading This week
Hello! I hope everyone had a great Christmas. I definitely did!! It was so nice. I'll write a little Christmas recap this week, but I don't have time this morning. Asher is at early swim practice and I don't have that long before I need to go pick him up. Just a few thoughts on… Continue reading Post-holiday state/ re-grouping
Merry Christmas Eve!! Just popping in to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas- whatever that looks like for you. I was thinking this morning, as I brushed my teeth.... isn't it funny how "everyone" seems to do so many of the same things around the holidays, yet at the same time, we all do them… Continue reading Holidays: the same, but different
GRATEFUL KAE
