It has been a true Wisconsin December this year! (Which it often has not been in recent years!) We've been getting a lot of snow (and not just in a big storm here and there- we've been seeing frequent snow showers). If I had to choose when to get snow, I'd definitely pick December! It… Continue reading Snowy December, something odd/creepy, + SOMETHING SUPER EXCITING!
Overall, this was a really nice weekend! Some highlights include: 🔷Walking to a new coffee shop with Ivan (only <10 min from home!). It's actually the location where our gym used to have a 24 hour location. Kinda funny to see the space revamped and now full of muffins and pastries and coffee treats instead… Continue reading Weekend highs and a big low
Kid-Free days! This work week started out smoothly, but seemed to rapidly accelerate. My Wednesday and Thursday were pretty jam-packed with meetings and calls and it became a little overstimulating! On the plus side, we ended up with a few kid-free days. This is very rare for us. But after a lot of "togetherness" in… Continue reading Unexpected kid-free days + a dog sitter strikeout
Jet lag: So, I am not good with jet lag. Sadly, I don't think I'm actually cut out to be a frequent world traveler, lol. I guess in fairness, it hasn't been that bad. But I remember after London, and now again with this trip, I just definitely felt it, and seemingly worse than anyone… Continue reading Jet lag + dog boarding
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!
The holiday season is flying by...December 6th already today! Not to once again defend my choice to "start early" in November, but I already feel like it just goes SO FAST. So, starting early feels like the only way I get a sufficient amount of Christmas coziness in my life. 🙂 1- In person work… Continue reading Friday 5: work, travel, dogs, laughs
Charlie, at 7:16 a.m. I was heading out of the shower (I was up by 5:30 even on my day off… what can I say) and Ivan was heading into the shower. Charlie thought we were all crazy and settled into my spot to keep sleeping, trying to ignore the lamp Ivan had turned on.… Continue reading Vacation mode
Ethan sort of goes back to school today! Ahhh. (Just a short orientation day, which as a sophomore basically means going to get his picture taken and receive new school ID and some other misc. tasks.) His first real day is tomorrow! I always think it's nice to start on a Thursday, to ease in… Continue reading Back to school- round 1
Today is Charlie's 1st birthday!!! Poor guy... for his birthday he got... neutered. 😆 Another cone shot from yesterday morning He's doing really well though! To be honest it doesn't seem like he even notices that he had surgery. He was real loppy and out of it that first night (anesthesia...) and was a little… Continue reading Happy birthday Char Char!
1) Charlie Update You guys. I have THE BEST dog ever. Seriously, I am just obsessed with my little Charlie. I mean, I have been since we got him, but I am extra obsessed with him lately. He is 8.5 months old now (!! How!!!?) and has just really settled in and settled down. He… Continue reading Thursday Things: Puppy + Fashion
GRATEFUL KAE
