I packed for Copenhagen yesterday!! We don't leave until Wednesday night. 🤣 But I despise packing and am really quite bad at it, so lately I have been trying to pack EARLY to avoid last minute panicking. I have room to spare in both my carryon and my backpack (which is good, because not everything… Continue reading Getting ready + travel worries
I saw a random reel yesterday on Instagram (some sort of influencer/ doctor person?) about a medical incident that occurred on her recent flight. It got me reminiscing, because I have had to assist in a medical situation THREE times while traveling! #1: The first one occurred years ago now, on a flight to Mexico.… Continue reading Medical emergencies on planes
May was a good month overall! The weather FINALLY starts to feel like spring in May around here and it is amazing. I have never really been a "super impacted by the weather" person, but maybe I am becoming one in my old age. lol. I just felt extra blah for a long time during… Continue reading May 2025 Recap

I then swiftly rebounded with a 5 day no blogging streak. 🤷♀️ In part, I was just busy doing other things, and also, I'm not sure my "modified" Whole 30 is really quite as interesting! I had the NICEST weekend, though!!… Continue reading Perfect weekend

I always like the IDEA of challenges, but when it comes right down to it, I think I don't actually like them!!! haha. At least maybe not in this phase of my life. 30 days is… Continue reading Whole 30 Day 5: pivot….

Ethan is DONE!! He had his last 2 finals yesterday and was home by 1 pm. Here's his 1st Day vs Last Day pic! (I didn't catch him before school for a pic, and when he got home, he put on PJ pants and settled in to video game for a while... lol. I made… Continue reading School’s out (!) and Whole 30 Day 3
I don't want this "Whole 30" thing to take over my blog for the next couple weeks, as I realize there may be varying levels of interest! I also know that talk of diets + restricting in any way could be triggering for some people. But, I also think some people might be interested! And… Continue reading Whole 30 Update: Days 1-2
First off, I realized I never shared the boys' Mother's Day cards. They were very sweet, and also very different, which actually made me smile, because the boys are different, of course! Asher, who is naturally artistic but sadly is not currently doing anything to continue fostering this (he used to do a ton of… Continue reading Things we’ve been up to/ Misc. Updates
