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!
Yay, NaBloPoMo is here! I already laid out my plan, but in case you missed it, it's: post every day in November my posts must be <500 words (*I might make an exception for the quinceanera recap which I still haven't gotten around to) no daily themes. I'm not a "theme blogger" and I generally… Continue reading NaBloPoMo Day 1! And Halloween 2024
Happy belated Halloween. Hope you all had a fun and spooky day! 🎃 We got our first snowfall yesterday morning. Here is Charlie licking it to find out what the heck this cold wet stuff is: And now, on to November! Wow. There is a big part of me that keeps thinking it is like,… Continue reading November!
In the words of Asher from about 8:50 p.m. last night: "Well, that was a fun weekend!" It was!! It was also a pretty full weekend, and I am kind of tired right now. But I'm going to need to rally, because it's a) only Monday and b) Halloween, meaning the festivities are not over… Continue reading Halloween Weekend: Events
Ethan is home safe and sound! 🙂 His group flew in last night fairly late and we had to pick him up at school at 11 p.m. The 8th graders didn't have to go to school today, but I still had to get up early and get Asher off to school and then work and… Continue reading Home from D.C. and pre-Halloweening
As is often the case with me and my blog, I have two very random things on my mind this morning. (This is precisely why I don't do "themed" posts or plan what I'll write about in advance. These extremely insightful posts I write.... they just have to come to me, like a lightning bolt… Continue reading Appointment overload + a gratitude spotlight
Yay, Halloween was so much fun! I'm rather tired now, however, and I think teachers everywhere will be facing some sleepy children today, too. 🙂 Here are the highlights from our day yesterday: I ran some errands in the morning- grocery store/ Target. The cloudy morning turned sunny by the time I left the store,… Continue reading Halloween 2021 Highlights
The weather turned grey, blustery, windy and cool, right on time for Halloween night. 🙂 How appropriate! October seemed to go really, really fast, which makes me a little sad! I like October. I have a little feeling like it sort of slipped away from me. But I also know I did enjoy it, too.… Continue reading Happy Halloween!
Good morning! Short on time today, but here's a quick Friday 5 of misc. stuff in my life: 1- I stayed up too late watching the Packer game last night, but it was WORTH IT, with a crazy ending and a win over the Cardinals of 24-21. Being the good empath that I am, my… Continue reading Friday 5
I think because it's been so warm, I'm having a hard time believing that it's already October 13th today. But it is! We haven't done too much yet in the way of "fall fun". I'm thinking this probably isn't going to be the year that we do "all the things" for fall. With the various… Continue reading Some fall fun
