Hello! I never got around to hopping on the blog during the last few days, so here's an update on some recent events in my life: Thursday: Ethan got BRACES! Woo!! Such mixed feelings, because of course it's kind of an adolescent rite of passage. It means he's growing up! It also means his smile… Continue reading The last 4 days
I cannot get Eliza Fletcher off my mind. It's just absolutely horrific. I can't stand to even read or hear about it anymore. Fear for my safety while running is actually one reason that I stopped running, years ago. Given that back then I had to be to work at 7 am, and didn't get… Continue reading Running safety/ a personal close call story
I finally had my in person dermatologist visit yesterday. Earlier this summer I had a video appt. to discuss my skin issues + acne, which was extremely helpful. (See my post on my current skincare regimen here.) But I still wanted to get in for an in-person visit so I could have a full skin… Continue reading Notes on sun exposure and my dermatologist visit
I was excited for this long weekend, and it did not disappoint. On the whole, it felt pretty relaxing. We still did things, but there was also a lot of downtime. Anniversary dinner out Friday Cleaned (most) of the house on Saturday Ethan started his job! Went in hot tub several times (we're having much… Continue reading Long weekend + Monday motivation on a Tuesday
Hey hey, look who finally went back to the gym yesterday!! I did. Typing this title made me cringe, because I know for a fact that I've written multiple "yay, look at me, I'm getting back to consistent gym exercise!!" posts over the past couple of years. And if I've written the same thing repeatedly,… Continue reading Back in the gym (again, again, again- okay for REAL)
Coming at you from a pretty gloriously lazy day. Ivan took Asher off to his first soccer tournament since he had declared himself "retired" from soccer back in late 2019. I guess he is like Tom Brady and just can't quite give it up, because he's back..... Games are at 9:00 and 1:45, about 1… Continue reading Some firsts (school + work) and our 15th
Whew, this has been a busy day, and I have exactly 12 minutes until I need to log back on to commence another training session with new employee. But I can't let today pass by without sending a HUGE shout-out to my parents, on their 50th wedding anniversary!!! I wish I had prepared a more… Continue reading Ruby red and GOLD
Happy September! Today is officially Back to School. Always lots of feelings- mostly seems like an attitude of "begrudging", from the boys, if that's a word. As in, they will go, obviously, but begrudgingly. Reluctantly. (It kind of annoys me that they seem SO ho-hum about back to school...I always found it at least somewhat… Continue reading September/ Slashing my 22 for 22 list
This is it- the last day of August. whoa. Not sure how we ended up here, but here we are. To me, this = the "last day of summer", because the boys start SCHOOL tomorrow!! And, in my mind, September is a fall month, anyway. This summer was....something. ha. It was good! But also, a… Continue reading Summer 2022 Recap
Yep, I had a crap day yesterday. Started off with an hour long cluster where I realized I had made a mistake on something that was going to end up ultimately costing me hundreds of dollars. gahhhh..... Around the same time, I got a message from our new employee cheerfully greeting me and wondering what… Continue reading I had a bad day
GRATEFUL KAE
