We had a good weekend. It felt full, but productive and relaxing at the same time. Saturday: Saturday was the "busy" day. Ethan had a basketball game at 8 am at his school and had to be there by 7:30. So that was a pretty early start. Ethan's team had a tournament, so the 8… Continue reading Weekend misc. + final bedroom reveal
Friday night there was a high school swim meet being held at our local high school, so Asher's club team had to go practice in another city ~20 minutes away to find pool time. I drove him out there for 5 pm practice, and since it was farther from home, I had to just stay… Continue reading A peaceful walk destination & Gratitude Challenge Days 8 and 9
1- January 6th is Dia de los Reyes Magos in Mexico, or Three Kings Day. Aka, the Epiphany. There are a bunch of traditions that go along with this. Sadly, we (or Ivan, since this one is his domain, really) haven't really practiced these much over the years. In Mexico, the "three wise men" deliver… Continue reading Friday 5 (editing- Friday 3)
High of this week so far: TV. Did anyone else happen to notice that the This is Us Season 6 premiere came out on Tuesday night???? 😃😃 We watched Seasons 1-5 this past year and loved it, so I was very excited for this.

Some stretches here and there I got off track, but overall, yes, more often than not." But data doesn't lie. 🙂 Here are my stats from 2021: *(small… Continue reading 2021 Workout recap + 2022 plan
It's Back to School Day, part 2, as I call it....Obviously the real "back to school" occurs in the fall, but heading back after winter break always feels like another "1st Day of School". This was the lowest key of all low key winter breaks, ever! But that's okay. I feel a twinge of guilt… Continue reading Back to School (part 2) + a tip
First, some numbers, because this is the fun part about tracking stuff. Here were my "stats" for "number of days of intentional reading in the month" for 2021. (From January- May I was strict on trying to do Gretchen Rubin's "Read 21 in 21", so those were all at least 21 minute blocks. After that,… Continue reading 2021 Books
Just unboxed my new desk calendar, so it's official- 2022 is here!! I don't feel totally ready for the new year, meaning that I don't have my planner all set up and my goals list is still a work in progress (with question marks, circles, asterisks, cross outs all over the scratch paper I started… Continue reading Happy New Year + a new challenge
Happy final day of 2021! Wow, this really blows my mind. I remember NYE 2019 very vividly, leading into 2020 with all sorts of excitement....and then that all happened, and here we are now after yet another year. I wish I had time right now to do another year end recap like I did for… Continue reading Word of the Year 2021 recap
