Wednesday (Day 1): Left home after work (late afternoon) and drove ~5 hours! We all rode together in our van (my parents came along on the trip, too) and a major highlight of this first evening was listening to Elvis music and other 50s-60s music on the ride down! I played DJ from the front… Continue reading Memphis Trip Recap – Days 1 and 2!
We haven't made too much in way of plans for the summer yet for the kids. The big "anchors" were supposed to be: Ethan- *summer camp with friend (the traditional outdoors kind- canoeing, games, bonfires, swimming, etc.)*local track program*??? Maybe a coding class or day camp or something Asher-*overnight swim camp with best swim friend… Continue reading Disappointment and (semi)resolution
Walking home On Monday I took a break to walk to meet the boys after school. They generally ride the bus home, but the stop is quite a ways from our house. I used to always meet them (or more often in cold weather, drive to pick them up), but now they are old enough… Continue reading Walking, talking and reading
We're back! Actually, we got back on Sunday evening, but I was too exhausted yesterday morning to get up early. It was the best little trip!!! It's not too often really that we take these "long weekend-type" trips. I guess when I plan travel for our family, I typically think of the full, week long+… Continue reading Back from Memphis
Hi!! Jumping on for two seconds to say...see ya next week! We have packed our blue suede shoes and are ready for a little less conversation, a lot more action. 😊 (So dorky. I'm sorry. Couldn't resist.) We are off to Memphis in a couple hours (driving part way tonight and will get there by… Continue reading It’s Now or Never

I am all discombobulated at the moment. 🙂 But, sometimes even a few minutes of writing something down can help, and I know deep down that I thrive best on routines...and writing has become part of my morning… Continue reading Discombobulated
I am excited to report that I made some REAL progress this weekend on my 21 for 2021 list item of finally getting my digital photos organized and backed up. In fact, this is #1 on the whole list. Honestly, it is just a disaster though. My digital photo collection goes back to basically ~2006.… Continue reading Weekend sunshine and the abyss of photo organization…

So, Happy Spring!! 🙂 I love tulips and they of course seem to be the universal sign of spring, although we definitely do not have any tulips blooming around here yet. Actually, we don't have any tulips… Continue reading Happy Spring
Today's Friday 5: Favorite quotes of the week! 1- "If you see something beautiful in someone, speak it". LOVE this one. I've been on kind of a private mission to do this as often as I can for a few years now. It feels a little funny at first, but it's such a win-win. The… Continue reading Friday 5: Inspiration
1. Spring break starts tomorrow for my kids! Today is their last day of school until Monday, March 29th. It was supposed to be tomorrow, but I think their teachers are all getting their second doses of the vaccine today after school. Since apparently the 2nd dose causes more side effects in many people, the… Continue reading 3 Things Thursday
