First, I did finally successfully complete my grocery trip yesterday morning. Store was EMPTY, which I am certain was probably not the case last night or will be anytime today with the holiday weekend upon us. So happy to have a stocked fridge again! It was Ethan's last day at camp and Asher had summer… Continue reading Camp pick-up/ New Month/Social Media
Not much time today- I am on a mission to head out in~5 minutes to hit up the grocery store!! We seriously need groceries, and there just wasn't a great time so far this week. (Well, there probably was, but nobody wanted to go.) I tend to have a MUCH easier time (semi) cheerfully going… Continue reading Today + photo project fun
So, on Monday evening, after his first day "home alone" (Ethan's at camp) and his first day back from swim camp/Iowa meet, Asher declared, "I can't wait to go back to school. Just being home is kind of boring. Can I do summer school???" I was like, "Wait, what?!" I honestly hadn't even really talked… Continue reading Summer school surprise
some fresh air for one of our tiny furry friends ❤ Last night I was in the kitchen quickly browning some taco meat before swim practice, and the nightly local news came on. In the first 30 seconds, they announced the top 3 stories for the evening. They were: 1) a heart-wrenching report of a… Continue reading A Good List
This is one of those times in life that feels like, what's the saying?? A beautiful mess? Everything has felt a bit chaotic and hectic over the last couple weeks (actually, couple months, really), but so much of it is so GOOD! So this isn't a complaint. 🙂 Let's see...so, I got home from swim… Continue reading Solo Ethan weekend & more camp
We made it home from swim camp last night, after a full 4 days away. The boys survived 8 1/2 hours of swimming per day, too. I'd say there were a few mixed emotions over the week, but mostly positive. The boys were no trouble at all, though I think his friend was not totally… Continue reading Everyone survived! Home from camp
Hello! Just jumping on quick during a little lunch break to update on our first couple days at swim camp! So far, so good! The drive up was early but uneventful, the boys got checked in (armed with their negative covid tests) and I was driving out of the parking lot by 8:30 a.m. yesterday.… Continue reading Hi from swim camp 🙂
First, a very big Happy Father's Day to all the Dads! Here's a picture I like a lot of me and my Dad, taken on the roof of the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, TN back in March: Love my Dad so much!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ And here's one of my very favorite pics of Ivan with the… Continue reading Father’s Day and other happenings
UGH, I am feeling a little overwhelmed right now. I hate saying that, because honestly, my life is really not that difficult (at ALL) compared to so many others'. Still, I have had a definite feeling of some "overwhelm" going on for a while now. I think I generally handle busy-ness fine, maybe better than… Continue reading Some overwhelm
Duck families...so fun to watch We're almost a 2 solid weeks in to summer break now. Inevitably, I feel like we always go through a slightly bumpy transition period when we shift from school to break or back again. Maybe this is my "fault", for lack of planning or foresight...I'm not sure. I mean, we… Continue reading Getting in a groove/ summer schedule
GRATEFUL KAE
