Thanks for the commiseration the other day! 🙂 As is often the way, as soon as I wrote all that, I actually had a good day and felt generally more upbeat, for some reason! Maybe our warm, spring-like weather this week is helping... I sat in a patio chair for 10 minutes yesterday on my… Continue reading A few switch-ups
I loved the comments and thoughts on my social media post yesterday. Thanks all! I think I'd like to try the "only use Facebook on my laptop" idea for a while. Cal Newport often suggest this to people who may have an actual need or use for social media (e.g. an artist who needs to… Continue reading Net negatives
On Friday night Ivan and I were out to dinner. Our Mexican place is casual; we usually always sit at the actual bar rail. At some point I had my phone out and ended up scrolling on Facebook. (During dinner out with my husband... yes, I realize this sounds bad when I write it out,… Continue reading Lately: on social media
March went so fast!! I know it's because a large chunk of the month was dedicated to preparing for travel, traveling, or resetting after travel. At first I felt like the rest of the month was kind of a wash- nothing particularly exciting stood out in my mind. Fortunately, I have my time logs/ trackers… Continue reading March 2025 Recap
February definitely felt like it flew by much more quickly than January. It also was a very Asher-heavy month! Which I think is okay...that's just how it goes sometimes. Especially now that Ethan can drive himself places! By default, we're just a little less "hands-on" with him now. As high school tennis starts up soon… Continue reading February 2025 Recap
We had a really nice weekend! The main event for us was Asher's big Conference swim meet on Saturday, which is the beginning of the post-season for high school swim. They taper them to perform well at this meet, the boys all wear their fancy racing tech suits, etc. The meet was Saturday afternoon at… Continue reading The weekend, etc. + the internet gets me
I know a LOT of people who read this blog are huge readers. I pale in comparison to the majority of you, with my maybe 1-2 books a month average. Funny story: so my dad reads this blog (hi Dad 😘) and he often finds the comments to be very interesting. ("They're all just like… Continue reading When are you reading so many books?
January 31st! One whole month down of 2025. I mean, actually, this is pretty accurate! Haha. So far, I'm happy overall with my progress on my goals. Yes, as always happens, some of that New Year Energy started to wane a bit around the midway point. (Apparently January 10th is officially "Quitter's Day", i.e. when… Continue reading January 2025 recap
I'm really thrilled with my new year's workouts so far! So far I have hit 100% of my planned strength workouts (have completed 13 so far this month) and I'm especially proud of my CARDIO efforts! I've completed 9, but best of all, it feels like it's finally becoming more of a routine habit. As… Continue reading Happy with progress + showing up
Next up- my Health/Fitness goals! These are probably a little more boring, but important to me and I still like them. 1. Do 200 strength, 150 cardio and 50 yoga workouts this year. I originally had shared about this idea a few weeks ago, to zoom out and try to hit a yearly total instead… Continue reading 2025 Goals: Health/Fitness
GRATEFUL KAE
