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. Fortunately I do not have these sorts of days too often, but I suppose they happen to all… Continue reading Friday 5: summer misc.
*Today I'm jumping back to our Colorado/Utah trip! See Days 1-3 (Vail/Glenwood Springs) and Days 4-6 (Moab, Utah).* Wednesday, August 14, 2019 Continuing on! On Thursday we had to say goodbye to Moab. Boo. I really, really, REALLY loved the place we stayed in Moab, and honestly, everything about the Moab area. Outside our condo,… Continue reading Colorado/Utah Trip Day 7: Mesa Verde National Park
So, Ethan turned 17 on Saturday and as I just typed that title, it flashed through my head for the first time that this is his last year of childhood. I mean, technically, according to the definitions. 😭😭😭😭 I feel ever more grateful that given his summer birthday/ boy status we opted to hold him… Continue reading 17!!
I have settled into what feels like a really good, happy place right now with my workouts. I'm not doing anything drastically different than usual, but my routine needed some tweaking. After some bouncing around, I feel like I've found something that really works. What wasn't working: -Being very inconsistent with cardio, despite my goal… Continue reading Workout wins + making it easy
Recently, in either her newsletter or daily Substack, Laura was talking about the passage of time and ways we can attempt to slow it down a bit. She said that one thing we can do is to reflect on what made today different. Part of what makes time blur together is when we have too… Continue reading A fun journal prompt
As we anticipated, they deemed Ethan's car a "total loss", unfortunately. We are currently sorting out what this means for us. Option 1 of course would be to take the money and buy a different car. Option 2 is to get the car back, take a little bit less money on the payout, and pay… Continue reading Car update
The 4th so kindly fell on a Friday this year, which meant we had the whole weekend off after and this was SO NICE. (It is sort of a pet peeve of mine that a holiday which traditionally involves later night fireworks and family gatherings doesn't naturally come with the following day off as a… Continue reading 4th of July, 2025 Weekend!
June, where did you go?! June ZOOMED by for me, minus the week we were away in Copenhagen. That week actually slowed down, in a good way, likely due to all of the new experiences. June 1-10 was mostly spent prepping for trip (and thinking about luggage 😅), finishing up work tasks and Asher's end… Continue reading June 2025 Recap
Overall, this was a really nice weekend! Some highlights include: 🔷Walking to a new coffee shop with Ivan (only <10 min from home!). It's actually the location where our gym used to have a 24 hour location. Kinda funny to see the space revamped and now full of muffins and pastries and coffee treats instead… Continue reading Weekend highs and a big low
GRATEFUL KAE
