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
This was the nicest weekend!!! The first really "relaxing" weekend since the whole holiday rush + vacation + unpacking/ taking Christmas decoration down weekends. Friday night started off with driving Asher ~30 minutes away to a swim practice, BUT it meant I had a full hour to sit in the car and read my book… Continue reading A great weekend
Sunday was a nice day. There were some really nice moments of connection that I really enjoyed. As the kids get older, it can be so easy to kind of just all do our own things sometimes. On weekends, they like to spend a good amount of time playing video games with their friends. I… Continue reading Connection

I love collecting quotes. In fact, I need to come up with a better system for saving them. I have some in my "notebook", some are in an email folder, some saved on Instagram, others I never do save and end up losing.... 3 that I'm loving this week: 1. "As we express our gratitude,… Continue reading Three Things Thursday + Lights!
Yawn. I feel a little bit out of sorts this morning. Not in a bad mood exactly, but I think mostly just a little bit tired. I feel like it was kind of an intense week for some reason, though it really wasn't by normal standards. Now that I think about it, maybe it's because… Continue reading Tired + B-day Recap
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
It's officially Thanksgiving week! The boys have the entire week off from school and I have to say, I'm welcoming the little break. As extremely happy as I have been to have them back in school, there is something wonderful about just relaxing all of the schedules and routines. My favorite thing I think is… Continue reading The holidays are here!
I'm happy to report that my crabby mood basically dissolved into thin air after I hit publish on my post yesterday morning. So, either the time spent writing/reflecting on the happiness equation WORKED or the good mood fairy flew by and dusted me with happy dust. Either way, my day rocked. Errands and work: After… Continue reading Solved ✔
