Weekend Recap: Friday night- Asher had swim practice from 6:20-7:35, so I drove him to that. After, Ivan and I went out for our pretty typical Friday night date night, to his friend's Mexican restaurant. We, as usual, got the chicken and steak "nachos fiesta", no sour cream, add raw jalapeno. If you're wondering if… Continue reading A very Mama Mia-full weekend
Yesterday I sorted through and cleaned out my April 2020 photo folder. As you all would know, April 2020 was when most of the world was on pretty tight lockdown mode. In the U.S., in our region, this was the strictest, most extreme lockdown period we ever had, I'd say. Literally everything was closed and/… Continue reading A few laughs + pandemic memories
Just unboxed my new desk calendar, so it's official- 2022 is here!! I don't feel totally ready for the new year, meaning that I don't have my planner all set up and my goals list is still a work in progress (with question marks, circles, asterisks, cross outs all over the scratch paper I started… Continue reading Happy New Year + a new challenge
I hope everyone had a great Christmas!!! I did. 🙂 It always goes by so fast!! I do feel a little sense of relief when all the hustle is over, but also a bit of sadness that the excitement and fun is over, too. Instead of a full play by play, I want to share… Continue reading Favorite Holiday Moments 2021
We had a long Sat.-Sun.-Mon. weekend here in the U.S., thanks to Labor Day. We also had two of Ivan's cousins (a brother and sister) come to stay with us for this week from Mexico City. (They'd been with an aunt in California for the past several weeks). ALSO, Ethan had a soccer tournament in… Continue reading Long weekend
All good things must come to an end, of course. Thursday morning was our day to pack it up and head towards home. First, a picture from Wednesday that I forgot to insert… the classic “pose for a picture with the National park sign” shot. 🙂 We drove by these signs repeatedly during the week… Continue reading Day 13: Acadia to Scranton, PA
Hello and happy Wednesday! It's been a while. These last days have been FULL but fun. Asher and I left around 2 pm Friday afternoon for a 3 day swim meet ~1 1/2 hours away (but near my parents' house). He swam right away Friday evening, so we went straight to the pool. We got… Continue reading Whew, I’m back
Ivan's mom (my suegra, or mother-in-law) is leaving to go back to Mexico on Sunday, after spending over 2 months here in the U.S.! We picked her up from my sister-in-law's last night and took her out for pizza at a really nice local restaurant. I sent this picture to Ivan at work and said,… Continue reading La suegra is heading home 😦
Happy Sunday! I ended up having a pretty great Saturday, after some plans shifted and my day unexpectedly opened up. The morning was fairly lazy but included checking off a couple more months worth of photo organization. Still chugging along on this photo project. Ethan and I cleaned out his closet. It badly needed it… Continue reading I am not throwing away my shot
Last night we watched The Witches, the 2020 movie remake of Roald Dahl's classic (and childhood favorite of mine) book. The boys and I have read that book several times over the years, too. I'm actually a big Roald Dahl fan in general and read most of his books as a kid. The remake is… Continue reading The Witches and Weekend Morning Routine Dilemmas
GRATEFUL KAE
