Easter Sunday was very "just okay" for me yesterday. I mean, it was nice and all. But I just came away from it feeling pretty "meh" about it all. Maybe I was just in a bit of a down mood, I don't know. For context, Easter is my least favorite holiday. (Besides the religious aspect,… Continue reading A very “just okay” Easter + some mom guilt
Today is Good Friday, and Easter weekend is upon us. I feel like I should have some kind of profound post prepared to honor the important significance of this day in my religion (Christianity), but, I do not. I've got nothin'. I'm sorry. But at the same time, I feel like when it comes to… Continue reading I’ve got nothin’
The weekend flew by this time...boo. Sunday night, Asher even said, "Wait, it's Monday already tomorrow? The weekend went so fast!" I'm not really sure why, since for us, it was actually a lower key weekend than usual. (No full day swim meets or tournaments or anything like that.) It was a good weekend, though!… Continue reading Little life catch-up
I hope everyone had a great Christmas!!! I did. 🙂 It always goes by so fast!! I do feel a little sense of relief when all the hustle is over, but also a bit of sadness that the excitement and fun is over, too. Instead of a full play by play, I want to share… Continue reading Favorite Holiday Moments 2021
Christmas is a-comin'. Ready or not, here she comes!! Our halls are decked, things are (mostly) done....we're about as ready as we're gonna be. Despite my vacation/sick days, this home stretch has still felt a little rushed....but such is life, I guess. I may as well just give up on this goofy idea I have… Continue reading The halls are decked, etc.
If you've been reading a while, you might remember this post from last year about the night Asher learned the sad truth about Santa Claus. And while that was all very bittersweet, there was a little part of me that was, of course, a little relieved to not have to keep up the act anymore.… Continue reading Things We Don’t Do & the Elf on the Shelf
(exhale/ big sigh of relief.....) I feel like I'm actually in a really good place with my big "Christmas To Do" list!! And it is such a relief, because it's only November 29th. (Which is also my Dad's birthday!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! Love you.) I have to say a word of gratitude though, for help… Continue reading In a good place
I hope everyone had a great holiday, if you celebrated it! I can't believe it's already the Sunday of the long weekend. 😦 I wish I had a few more days. We had a really nice Thanksgiving- small, quiet, intimate, and peaceful. Just the 4 of us + my parents. My Dad and I did… Continue reading Turkey Day 2021 Recap
In a perfect world, I would have some very cute and catchy Thanksgiving/ gratitude themed post prepped and ready to go today, since, you know, "Grateful Kae" and all.....gratitude is kind of my jam....and it's THANKSgiving.... But, I don't! 😆 I actually had not one single specific thing in mind to write this morning as… Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving
I made the executive decision yesterday to decorate our house for Christmas, on November 15th. This is maybe the earliest I have ever decorated, and I'm feeling good about it. I have referenced (probably ad nauseum, sorry), that things are BUSY right now. We have like 4 swim meets coming up before Christmas. Asher's birthday… Continue reading Fall, out. Christmas, in. And a book rec.
GRATEFUL KAE
