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!
This year I had decided that I wanted to keep an ongoing list of shows and movies we watch. Why? No reason really. But just like I keep a running list of books I read, it's kind of fun to look back and see what we watched! (When I mentioned on January 1st that I… Continue reading Watching, and an even BETTER cardio option!?
Wednesday, March 23, 2022 This was technically Day 3 in Rome! If you back up to Day 11 (see here), you'll remember that the previous day was full and long. So, our morning on Day 3 was a little slow moving. That's okay! We are often not the quickest moving family in the mornings on… Continue reading Day 12 – Rome: Pantheon, Victor Emmanuel II Monument and the Vatican Museum
Something that often makes me smile: Pretty much every day after school, at some point in the first 1-2 hours that the boys are home, Asher will casually pause and ask me, "So, how was your day today, mom?" I usually take a second to consider the question, because not all days are equal. The… Continue reading So, how was your day?
On Sunday I wrapped up my 2nd week of this "January Shred". For the second week in a row, I was 100% on my workouts (5 strength, 3 cardio sessions). I've been thinking about this, because I know for a fact that these are the first weeks in a VERY LONG TIME that I have… Continue reading All or nothing
Work Book Club: I had my first work book club last night. As you all know, I don't read a TON or that fast, so I was mostly just pleased that I actually had finished the darn book!! 😄 We read The Sentence by Louise Erdrich. Everything was okay. 🙃 I thought the book was… Continue reading First book club and other misc.
I was thinking yesterday how our weekends are so inconsistent. They really never look the same. Overall, this is fine with me; it's mostly just an observation. We've actually never really had consistent weekends, for as long as I can remember. From 2006- 2016 I worked every other weekend. (!!!) That's a lot of weekend… Continue reading Weekend inconsistency
Just want to share some of my favorite quotes I've written down so far this month: 🔷 "Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced." - James Baldwin 🔷 "Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to the error that counts." -Nikki Giovanni… Continue reading Quotes of the month so far
1. Last night Ivan wasn't home, so the boys and I went to the gym. Ethan went to the circuit training room, but Asher joined me in the bigger weight room. There's this new area up on the side of the sprint track where they have dumbbells and benches, etc., off removed away from the… Continue reading 3 on a Thursday: Gym, veggies, pants
