After Halloween on Friday, we've had a fun and very enjoyable weekend! My parents arrived around 4 p.m. on Friday and stayed until ~11:15 a.m. today (Sunday), so we had a nice chunk of time with them. They came with us to Ethan's big Sectional Final soccer game at 1 p.m yesterday. Unfortunately, the weather… Continue reading The rest of the weekend
And here we are, 2 months to the end of 2025! What. We had a super nice, low-key Halloween. Very different from years ago, but still nice. Our family tradition for Halloween is that I make chili and we have salad + French bread + Halloween cupcakes (or, cake, if you forgot to buy the… Continue reading November already!
Hi. 🙂 Things have not slowed down but we're in the home stretch now of my in-laws' visit. For me, we're down to 1 day! They don't fly back to Mexico until early Sunday morning, but I leave tomorrow bright and early for Nova Scotia!!! (!!!!!!!!!!!). By the time I get home late Monday night,… Continue reading Final stretch + the weekend
It's been a whole week since I've posted! I have not had much margin and frankly am feeling rather out of sorts, but there's been a lot of good stuff this week, too. I am feeling a need to do a brain dump/ vent session though, so... may I? Things that have me feeling stressed… Continue reading Highs/Lows, the week, etc.
Eek, it's been a little crazy! Last weekend we did sort of a mad rush to get the house cleaned, including the basement rec room/ guest room/ my office/ guest bathroom (which are the spaces that do not normally make it into our every-other-week cleaning routine), in anticipation of my in-laws arriving on Monday. But… Continue reading Thursday updates!
This weekend, we celebrated my mom!! She turned 75 on Friday!! a little blurry but I love this pic! 75 feels "big". Not gonna lie, 75 also sounds... kinda old. I remember when my parents turned 60, and I thought that while 60 was "older", it definitely wasn't old yet. In my mind, I guess… Continue reading A celebratory weekend (*with an unexpected darker turn in the post…*)
July feels like it was forever ago now, but it was really just a couple weeks ago. The beginning of July feels like it was REALLY long ago now. Which is strange, because at the same time, the summer has simultaneously flown by and it feels like just yesterday that school got out. Ha. Basically,… Continue reading July 2025 Recap
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!
May was a good month overall! The weather FINALLY starts to feel like spring in May around here and it is amazing. I have never really been a "super impacted by the weather" person, but maybe I am becoming one in my old age. lol. I just felt extra blah for a long time during… Continue reading May 2025 Recap
First off, I realized I never shared the boys' Mother's Day cards. They were very sweet, and also very different, which actually made me smile, because the boys are different, of course! Asher, who is naturally artistic but sadly is not currently doing anything to continue fostering this (he used to do a ton of… Continue reading Things we’ve been up to/ Misc. Updates
GRATEFUL KAE
