So I'm not huge into the whole "planner world" like some other people are, but I have dabbled just a little bit (100% thanks to SHU and her planning content/podcast). I don't really like change very much, so I don't see myself bouncing around and trying all different products and dayplanners, though. I did switch/… Continue reading Keeping planners forever?
Coco asked me yesterday how I kept track of everything for the "weekly audit" review I posted. In reality, I don't normally keep track of my week exactly according to those categories. Yesterday morning I sat down in a special attempt to do a weekly audit, and brainstormed those 7 categories as general areas of… Continue reading More on weekly audit + ?? TRAVEL and other misc.
I was listening to a short Before Breakfast episode this morning while I put my contact lenses in, and Laura mentioned the idea of doing a brief review of your previous week on Monday mornings, to reflect on what went well and what didn't the week before. Since I keep my little daily journal tracking… Continue reading An audit of the week
Friday the boys didn't have school, so I took the morning off and we went to a pumpkin farm/ corn maze. At 11 and 13, they are getting a little bit past the "get super excited about a pumpkin patch" age....but they agreed to go. (I got the feeling that if I had said, "Oh,… Continue reading Moments to cherish
I went back to the gym! I hinted that I was planning to do this post-birthday, and I did! (pat self on back). My official return was on Monday afternoon, after an eye doctor appt. I had my eyes dilated, so I really couldn't see to go back to work for a while anyway. But… Continue reading “3 Things I Did” Thursday
Tuesdays continue to be our busy night of the week, and honestly probably my least favorite night. Cross country practice is now out of the mix, but that means Asher's piano lesson has moved back to Tuesdays. Last night an extra wrench was thrown in there, too, because Asher had a quarterly group piano class… Continue reading The ONE thing & an unexpected treat
I'm going to steal my friend 5 am Joel's custom of referring to birthdays as "levels". As in, "I have now reached Level 38 in the game of life." 🙂 Go me! Haha. I've seen him use this in his emails and it always makes me chuckle. Life DOES feel like some kind of weird… Continue reading Level 38
I'm kind of excited that my birthday falls on a weekend this year!! I'm feeling the whole "birthday weekend" idea. Normally I don't really care a whole lot about my birthday...I am not someone who takes the whole week off work, books a bunch of special things to do, etc. But I do love the… Continue reading 7 am vs 7 pm, birthday weekend, return to gym?
It's been a good week. The vacation day on Tuesday definitely helped, too. Here are 5 random things for this Friday: Cross country is officially over. I mentioned the final two meets were cancelled, which was a HUGE bummer!! But such is life. They had their end of the season fun practice last night and… Continue reading Friday 5: XC, my b-day and good quotes
So like I said, Ivan is home! It sounds like he had an awesome time in Mexico. He LOVES going back. I think he really, really misses "home"- even though he also loves living in the U.S. (and has for many years now). But he misses his family. And largely, his culture. He is very… Continue reading Mexico
