I am usually the owner of the "grocery list" at our house. We don't really have a great spot to have like a whiteboard or cork board in our kitchen anymore. Notepads end up getting buried in the drawer, and annoy me if left sitting out. So for the last couple years I have kept… Continue reading A perk to kids having phones
I just wanted to share a few things that I ate this week that are hits for me. 1. Tuna + pico de gallo mix This is a favorite "quick healthy eats" option for me. Last night Ivan had plans to meet an old co-worker for drinks, there was just enough leftover pasta for 1… Continue reading Friday food edition
I AM TIRED. Yesterday was actually an overall good day, but it just felt exhausting. I think because I just did a lot of different things, which made it feel extra long, lots of context switching, etc. I also spent a huge chunk of the early evening literally driving around in circles. Wednesdays have morphed… Continue reading “A day in the life” on a busy Wednesday, driving in circles
Two very random, different topics for today: Exercise intensity: How hard do you really need to work?? This is one of my miscellaneous musings that kind of rolls around in my head for a while, and then eventually works its way out into a blog post. Haha. A couple weeks ago, an old college friend… Continue reading Exercise intensity and a great newsletter
#1: Adios election ads!! Very excited to have the always so informational and influential election ads go buh-bye now. 🤣🤣 I voted in-person absentee last Thursday, but Ivan never made it over there, so he'll go today. #2: Feeling a little wonky today in general. Some work stuff/ stress that I can't really talk about… Continue reading Tuesday misc.
Writing this from a markedly "lighter outside" 6 a.m. Monday morning, now that Daylight Savings Time has ended... Yes, we set the clocks back this weekend. I know this can be a big deal to people with little kids + sleep issues, but fortunately, I think we're past the stage where this ruffles our feathers… Continue reading Weekend snapshots
*Backing waaaaay up! The "print your blog to a book" site I use is having a sale, so I am going to try to hammer out my remaining few spring break recaps ASAP!* Tuesday, March 22 Our first full day in Rome! (See my Travel page for all the recaps from our 1st week in… Continue reading Day 11- Rome: Colosseum, Roman Forum/ Palatine Hall, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps
Adding/ Subtracting Habits: One of the people I read about in Tribe of Mentors talked about his custom of making "New Month Resolutions" instead of "New Year Resolutions". Specifically, he rotates between either ADDING a habit or SUBTRACTING a daily habit. The examples he personally gave in the book were: July = Daily readingAugust= No… Continue reading Adding/ subtracting and a productive Thursday
I was at the gym yesterday afternoon, doing a full body strength workout. (My current plan includes 2 leg/ab days, 1 back/biceps day, 1 chest/shoulders day and 1 full body day. I was thinking yesterday- I think the full body days are my favorites. It's enough variety that no single body part gets overly fatigued,… Continue reading My favorite people at the gym
It is now November, somehow, so I'm going to share my "Fall 2022" recap today. I shared my Summer 2022 recap here, and I enjoyed that format and putting it together. Fall is not technically over yet, but in my head, November kicks off more of "holiday season", to me. So, for me and any… Continue reading Fall 2022 Recap
GRATEFUL KAE
