Zooming on through May... we're really in the home stretch now, and dare I say the worst is behind us? This is the boys' last official week of school! Peeking ahead to next week.... Just gotta make it to Friday. Ethan: As I type this, Ethan should be finishing up his US History final exam… Continue reading Winding down fast
Feeling ready for a vacay!! I will be honest, part of me kind of wishes we were just jetting off somewhere REALLY WARM where I could sink into a lounge chair with one foot hanging off and toes in the sand and do not much else for the rest of the time. I'm just a… Continue reading Spring break + crowds
A little shopping + minimalism fail: Saturday my mom and I ran some errands; I had to deal with a couple of returns, stopped at a couple of stores, and got my van washed! I also ran across these cute Adidas hats: I really like wearing hats- especially when we travel, but also sometimes to… Continue reading Recent happenings, etc.
Labor Day is always the last summer hurrah around here, because the public schools all start today (the Tuesday after Labor Day). It's a little anti-climactic for us, given that Ethan started several weeks ago and Asher last week. But we had some HOT SUMMER WEATHER this weekend and it definitely felt like "summer". It… Continue reading Labor Day long weekend

Monday 8/14 This was Ethan's first day of school and I knew we had a busy evening… Continue reading A recap: Workouts, life and my week of August 14th
Whewwwww this has been a WEEK. Final week of school for Ethan: The end of the school year has arrived for Ethan (Asher still goes until Tuesday; their school does this special thing where the graduating 8th graders get out a few days early), and it felt like a major whirlwind! Last Tuesday was Ethan's… Continue reading 8th grade graduation… on to high school!
I've mentioned every year that I've had this blog how I really don't care for Easter. I won't blab on about it yet again, but the long and the short of it is: I just don't really like Easter. Besides enjoying the religious significance of it (for me), I just don't get whipped up over… Continue reading A fairly “un-enthusiastic Easter” weekend recap
Friday, 3/17: Day 7 in Costa Rica Friday morning I was excited to get up and actually see what our place looked like. It was pretty dark by the time we got there the night before. I again woke up early, before the rest of my family. It was nice at this place to have… Continue reading Friday 3/17: Santa Elena Reserve, Monteverde Brewery and a Night Tour!
Sunday, 3/12: Part 2 (afternoon) Okay, so in last post I shared the volcano pics and ziplining adventure! Picking up there. Hot springs/pool time: After ziplining we drove back to the resort (it was maybe 12:30 or so). My mom had stayed back just relaxing on her own (ziplining is not her thing). The plan… Continue reading Sunday 3/12 afternoon- hot springs + rainforest walk (and SLOTHS!)
