Re-Entry: We got home Sunday night around 8:30 p.m. before a full work week, which is obviously the IDEAL way to transition back from vacation to regular life. Ha. We have had a couple trips lately where we actually had an appropriate transition time factored in, and I will say, it was very nice. BUT,… Continue reading Decent re-entry, back to school grey zone, car + dog updates, etc.
Thursday, August 7 As I mentioned, Thursday was looking to be a great weather day, and it was!!

It links to our smart refrigerator screen, so it's always visible in the main part of the house, and everyone has it on their phones, too. I, of course, have always managed the "updating" and… Continue reading Some teen “calendaring issues” + a milestone
We had a pretty low key weekend. Since I was away for the swim meet all last weekend, and this upcoming weekend we'll be traveling, I was happy to just be mostly around home. I'll admit I sometimes have thoughts that we are not doing a good enough job of "enjoying summer" or "seizing the… Continue reading Weekends + on NOT YOLO’ing…
I haven't really been in the mood to blog this week! Which is weird, and I'm not sure why. All is well- just maybe needed a little break, I guess. 🙂 I have been pretty busy with a work project that I NEED to have wrapped up before we leave for Florida in just over… Continue reading Quick updates
1. Writing off a day --> turning it around On Wednesday I had a crummy day. I was just in a "mood", everything was sort of annoying me, I felt unfocused and distracted and irritated with life.
