Our 1-child week marches on.... again, it's been an oddly nice little break having Asher away! haha. I feel bad saying that - I miss him, too. I really do. He's often my more "snuggly" kid who will randomly come and hug me, or that sort of thing. But time with just the 14-year-old this… Continue reading A week with only 1 kid and old vans
I wrote a post back in May all about my recent skincare woes. The short version is: I have been struggling with acne and melasma pretty badly for the past few years. Despite trying what felt like countless different things (and lots of $$$ products from a MedSpa place), nothing seemed to work. I was… Continue reading Skincare- update
This past weekend was pretty great. I've talked, ad nauseam, about how busy we've been lately. We finally weren't busy this weekend!!! Asher left Friday morning to go up north with a few friends, to celebrate his friend's birthday at their lake house. So, we had a wide open weekend with just Ethan home. This… Continue reading Life lately
Monday, March 21 (continued) St. Peter's Square Continuing into St. Peter's Square.... Vatican City is actually surrounded by a big, stone wall that encircles it. We had a moment of excitement as we passed under the arches and stepped into the square, when you really get your first sweeping view of it all. We paused… Continue reading Day 10: Arrival to Rome (Part 2)- St. Peter’s Basilica, Piazza Navona and Campo de’Fiori
Monday, March 21 Picking back up! The end portion of our trip was like the icing on the cake, so I absolutely cannot leave it out. (If you haven't seen the rest of my Ireland/Italy trip recaps, check out March 2022 in my Travel Page for days 1-9!) Dublin Airport Monday morning we were up… Continue reading Day 10: Arrival to Rome!! (Part 1)
According to my records 🤓, I haven't been to the gym since July 11. ARGH. I am feeling this familiar frustration, where I want to do things, but "can't"/ "am not making time"/ "life schedule has been way too wonky for consistency". We left for San Diego on July 14, got home late on Sunday… Continue reading Temporary(?) workout plan/ gym fail
Not sure why I sometimes find it oddly therapeutic to share my to-do list with the world, but, I do. 🙂 With our Mexico trip coming up relatively soon, I'm feeling a little pressure to make sure I have my back-to-school ducks in a row before we go. When we get back, it will be… Continue reading To do list & Mexico planning
I've been slowly plugging along through Tribe of Mentors by Timothy Ferriss, and I'm really enjoying it. I try to write down at least one quote from each interview in my notebook. The book is full of great WISDOM! I had no pictures to go with this post, so I found this owl. He is… Continue reading Quotes/ Wisdom – Tribe of Mentors
As I'd hoped, it was a nice day yesterday with the boys away. LOVE them to pieces, but sometimes you just need a little break from your own kids!! ha. I worked and worked all day, as we are approaching a deadline with my team and I wanted a very productive day after taking the… Continue reading Nice day
Swim is officially over!! I didn't get the greatest shots of Asher swimming this time. Just wasn't really sitting in the right spot, I guess. But here is one of him getting situated on the blocks. And now, swim is over until September 6th. His coach told him to mostly stay out of the pool,… Continue reading A little breathing room…Summer phase 2?
GRATEFUL KAE
