Happy belated 4th of July!!! This felt like an extra long holiday weekend- I guess because it actually was. It was so nice having the holiday fall on a Sunday- both Ivan and I had off then on Monday in observance of the holiday. (This is always a pet peeve of mine, especially with holidays… Continue reading 4th of July LONG weekend!
Woke up feeling a little bit exhausted again this morning! What the heck?! Not quite this bad, but it still felt like a lot was fit into the weekend. It was SUPER HOT again, so maybe that's actually what has me feeling drained. 🔷 Last Day of School pic! 5th and 6th grades are in… Continue reading 1st Summer Weekend Highlights
I am feeling some major "new month" excitement this month, for the first time in a while. Looking back, I actually didn't even write out monthly goals really for April OR May...which, if you've been reading a while, is not really like me. The spring has just been.....a lot. I've mostly just been kind of… Continue reading JUNE goals!
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 😦

I had scheduled the appointment for 12:40 over his lunch hour, with the promise that I would take him to lunch quick before the appointment. We really didn't have much time, and I also had a… Continue reading Another milestone

One of those little moments that warm your heart and make you feel that all… Continue reading An unexpected “love” note
Oh man, I feel a bit exhausted! Not exactly the feeling I strive to have at 6 am on a Monday morning, but I guess it's a good exhaustion. The weekend felt BUSY. As in, pre-pandemic busy feel! I have mixed feelings on this, but I don't exactly see a way around it, either. A… Continue reading Weekend whirlwind
Currently= 37, High= 70. Just a modest 43 degree spread....:) Seems a little crazy, but bring on 70! I love my calendar quote from today. The gratitude thing is always easy when everything goes your way, so I especially like the reminders that point out that the ultimate goal is to be grateful always- highs… Continue reading Monday: gratitude goals, family time and kids’ books
Last night felt like a busy, but fun, start to the weekend. Asher had received an invite to play laser tag right after school at a local bowling alley with the 5 other boys in his school cohort (same boys that are together all day, every day- plus masked). He was really happy to get… Continue reading A fun start to the weekend
It's been a nice last few days. Some sunny weather, got my 2nd dose of vaccine (no side effects with either, except maybe a tiny headache last night?), some much needed cleaning, soccer games, outside time, Mexican food.... Here's a little recap: *A lunchtime walk on Friday. I did a short 27 minute core workout… Continue reading Last couple days in pics
GRATEFUL KAE
