for a real time update. I still have 2 days left to recap from the Nova Scotia trip (well, 1 full day plus our departure day, which still included some fun bits!), but that is not happening today. I do have a couple minutes though, so I thought I'd just pop on quickly for a… Continue reading Interrupting your regularly scheduled programming…
Without really meaning to, turns out I posted 3 times this week, and all 3 posts were "theme" posts! x2 about social media stuff and x1 about work stuff. I am feeling overdue for a ramble-about-regular-life post! Backing up to last weekend.... a party with Charlie: On Saturday we went to a birthday party for… Continue reading Lately: dog behavior, awards, big kids, blog anniversary!
Yesterday I had the extreme privilege of being a guest poster (for the 2nd time!) on Elisabeth's amazing blog!!! As many of you know, Elisabeth has been running a F.I.G. Challenge this month (F.I.G.= Finding Joy in Gratitude), where people all over the blogosphere are collecting "figs", or little moments of joy, happiness, or gratitude… Continue reading My gratitude backstory guest-post, complaining vs negativity and Piglet
Today I'm going to send you over to my dear friend Elisabeth's blog, because I'm guest posting over there! (Borrowing this header image from her blog: The Optimistic Musings of a Pessimist) I think she first asked me to guest post like, a year or more ago?! Then things got "busy" (of course) and it… Continue reading I’m hanging with a friend today!
Real quick clarification: Last night I posted VERY quickly and rather late from my phone, and I wrote: "At a wedding tonight for a friend of Ivan's son!" My sister in Ireland, who read my blog post with her morning coffee probably while all my U.S. readers were still sleeping, texted me that I had… Continue reading A possibly confusing typo + correction
Yesterday was the first day of NaBloPoMo, or "National Blog Posting Month". San has all the details on her blog, but it's an annual thing in November where bloggers post everyday for 30 days. I have never participated in this, though I did post almost daily during my early blogging days in 2020. LOTS of… Continue reading Blog challenge + post length
Two things today: #1. AN IMPORTANT PSA to any blog readers of Elisabeth Frost!!! I got a text from Elisabeth yesterday saying that it seems her blog has accidentally been possibly permanently deleted!!! There was some sort of accidental server deactivation which apparently deleted her site.... and all of her amazing content!! This is so… Continue reading An important PSA and 2 quotes
I need some help! Google and searching is not really giving me what I'm looking for, so I figured, why not turn to good, old-fashioned people? My question: How do you back up your blog posts? Background info: My blog started on Blogger in spring of 2020. Then I transitioned it to a self-hosted WordPress.org… Continue reading Blog friends: I need advice!
Weekend Update: SPORTS It was supposed to be a really busy day yesterday. Ethan had 2 volleyball games in the morning ( 8 and 10 am), and then Ivan was going to take him to a soccer tournament all afternoon (an hour away). Well, it snowed again, as it does on April 2 in Wisconsin… Continue reading Weekend so far + Blog update!
Okay, I'm suuuuper tired right now because I am just getting over a cold AND I managed to wake up at like, 2:30 a.m. (after not going to bed until ~11:00 p.m....) and never fell back to sleep. 😩😩 (Why? Why? Why??!) But I'm feeling chipper enough to share something that has me really excited!… Continue reading Printing my blog into a book!
GRATEFUL KAE
