Tuesday 8/5: My last check in was Tuesday morning, where I lamented some bad weather plaguing our first couple of days. Well I’m pleased to report that while we didn’t instantly get perfect blue skies and sunshine, the weather has mostly been a non-issue! Yay! Tuesday morning as I wrote my post, there were bits… Continue reading The middle days: a weather turnaround!
The 4th so kindly fell on a Friday this year, which meant we had the whole weekend off after and this was SO NICE. (It is sort of a pet peeve of mine that a holiday which traditionally involves later night fireworks and family gatherings doesn't naturally come with the following day off as a… Continue reading 4th of July, 2025 Weekend!
Well, my ~5 day blogging streak last week was nice while it lasted! Ha. I then swiftly rebounded with a 5 day no blogging streak. 🤷♀️ In part, I was just busy doing other things, and also, I'm not sure my "modified" Whole 30 is really quite as interesting! I had the NICEST weekend, though!!… Continue reading Perfect weekend
Wednesday, March 27 The plan for Wednesday was to go to Dollywood!! If you're not familiar, it's a major theme park owned by country superstar Dolly Parton and based around her life and roots in the Tennessee Smoky Mountains. I wanted to go here for a few reasons. One, several people that I know who… Continue reading Dollywood fun!
Monday night we had a fun family outing. I feel like generally speaking, 2023 is not the year that we are doing "all the holiday fun things". It's just been a weird year with the puppy and the bathroom remodel and the houseguests, yada yada. You all know, if you've been reading along. Plus, we're… Continue reading A fun holiday evening!!
Tuesday already! These past few days were a blur. The weekend was highly dominated by Asher's swim meet both Saturday and Sunday. But first, on Friday night we still squeezed in our date night: Switched it up from nachos and got a big quesadilla to share instead! Neither macro friendly nor low carb, but, delicious.… Continue reading Weekend snapshots + shoes for Costa Rica
Gosh, this week was supposed to be kind of a "down" week after our holiday festivities, but as usual, it's managed to still feel rather full! It's been a nice week, just maybe not as super low key as I thought it might be. Still haven't sorted my Christmas pictures, either! So stay tuned for… Continue reading This week
Happy Christmas Eve Eve. We are just about to what I consider "the good part". Meaning, the part where all the "work" is over, and we can just hopefully relax and enjoy the fruits of our labor. As I mentioned, my maybe favorite part of the season is actually early December. But the 24 through… Continue reading Getting close to the good part
2 days until Christmas Eve! I'm just about ready. I actually glanced back through my journal from last year on this day, and I can see I was way behind on wrapping gifts last year, to the point that I apparently spent much of Christmas Eve frantically wrapping stuff. Thankfully, that is not the case… Continue reading Almost ready + 2022 Christmas card!
Okay, feeling more human today. I think just being over the middle of the week hump helps some, and knowing that today (Thursday) I don't have any big meetings or appointments on my calendar feels really refreshing. Having a generally "open" day has become one of my favorite things. haha. I can just focus on… Continue reading Just what I needed (and, didn’t)
GRATEFUL KAE
