I slept for 9 glorious hours last night!! In case you missed it, I woke up yesterday at 2 a.m. (after 4 hours of sleep). I did okay yesterday, overall....I had some bouts of sleepiness, but hung in there ok. But, I was feeling it by evening and announced to my family that I was… Continue reading Shopping: The in store/ online battle
I slept like total garbage last night. Sort of. I slept really great from 10 pm until 2 am, and then woke up. After laying there awake until ~4:20, I finally got up. In case you are wondering what time the birds wake up in my area (and start chirping), it is precisely 4:02 a.m.… Continue reading This and that
I have been wanting to share this for a few days now. It's something I got in an email last week and it really made an impact on me! It made me pause and think for a few minutes about what life is all about, and what the end goal really is. Apparently, this is… Continue reading What really matters in life?
Oh man, I feel a bit exhausted! Not exactly the feeling I strive to have at 6 am on a Monday morning, but I guess it's a good exhaustion. The weekend felt BUSY. As in, pre-pandemic busy feel! I have mixed feelings on this, but I don't exactly see a way around it, either. A… Continue reading Weekend whirlwind
New month! And, it's May- which means we are officially out of my least desired two months of the year- March and April. From here it's mostly smooth sailing. Weather will warm up pretty soon now consistently, then summer is always lovely, followed by my favorite (fall), and on to the holidays/winter, both seasons I… Continue reading Happy May Day! New month + April recap
New phone! Exciting news. Haha. Ivan ordered me a new phone the other day and it arrived yesterday. I am the type who might use the same iphone for eternity if it were not for the nudging of my husband. (I've said before- sometimes I don't love change!) I generally adapt fully to whatever phone… Continue reading Smartphones & bedtime guilt
On Monday, I had two podcast episodes back to back in my podcast subscription feed that were, ironically, both about the topic of routines. I am a big fan of routines in general, so these were fun to listen to! They were very different styles and sort of tackled different angles of routines. 1- Best… Continue reading Routineology
1. Do you hit the snooze button?? I am slowly sinking back into this bad habit. No. Not slowly. I have sunk back into this bad habit. But, not as bad as before. (Used to literally hit the snooze button for over an hour sometimes, years ago....not proud.) Now, I have been hitting it once… Continue reading A Few Deep Questions For You
Currently= 37, High= 70. Just a modest 43 degree spread....:) Seems a little crazy, but bring on 70! I love my calendar quote from today. The gratitude thing is always easy when everything goes your way, so I especially like the reminders that point out that the ultimate goal is to be grateful always- highs… Continue reading Monday: gratitude goals, family time and kids’ books
A Sunday gratitude brain dump: We got to watch Ethan's soccer game last night, and my parents met us there. He scored the first goal of the game and it was a beautiful one. I'm grateful no one blinked, looked away, accidentally missed it, etc. 🙂 (Every parent with kids in sports knows what I… Continue reading Sunday gratitude
