As I walked on the treadmill last night (looking for opportunities to up my step count AND somewhat frantically trying to finish my audiobook which expires TODAY and is on hold for other people i.e. not available for renew!!), I heard some really great insights. This section of the book is geared toward parents/ students,… Continue reading Catastrophizing/ “Is it true?”& Plan B thinking
I have no real topic in mind to write about today, so how about a little of this and a little of that? COVID I feel like I used to talk about covid all the time on the blog, back in the spring. Now, I guess it's old news. Ha. It is exciting that it… Continue reading Whatever Wednesday
1- Let's start with the confession. I announced so excitedly that I was going to start IF (intermittent fasting) on 1/15, and my goal was to try it for at least 4 weeks. Well. I didn't make it 4 weeks. I made it 6 days. 🙂 It's not that I really couldn't keep going (the… Continue reading Friday 5: Confession, progressive overload, quotes and more
I was listening to the podcast Happier yesterday (with Gretchen Rubin), which is a podcast I would say I listen to fairly often but not religiously. I have been enjoying it quite a bit lately, however, and listened in after my shower yesterday (one of my favorite podcast listening times). I think I mentioned once… Continue reading Happier, #21in2021 and Book Debates

Day #5 of the 12 Days of Christmas Challenge ✔ - Night walk The boys and I headed out on a walk around the neighborhood last night. Ivan got home late from work and had just walked in the door and wasn't really in the mood to go back out in the 26 degree weather.… Continue reading Friday 5
My brain is kind of fried right now, not going to lie. I was up super late last night dealing with some fairly last minute gift purchasing (?- kind of...there's a week left, but I just really want/need to be done with all gift buying for all people now!). I am feeling some serious "gift… Continue reading Wisdom Wednesday
Happy Sunday! Being Sunday, it feels like a fitting day to share pics of my Nativity scene. I received a piece most years from my Godparents when I was little and love my set! ❤ The boys usually put it up now and always look forward to that. The book I'm currently reading, Christmas: A… Continue reading Fun facts
I'm pretty happy with how much I've been managing to read lately. Still probably not that much, relatively speaking, but I'm reading daily and I'm happy about that. I picked up a couple new library holds yesterday so I thought I'd share what I'm reading. Currently Reading: 📘The Girl in the Tower by Katherine Arden:… Continue reading Current Reads & more
Last night I was sitting and reading my current non-fiction choice (You're Not Listening: What You're Missing and Why it Matters), and a couple of lines stood out to me that I wanted to share. "Everybody is interesting if you ask the right questions."-Kate Murphy, p. 40 I had to stop reading for a second… Continue reading Everybody is interesting
