1- Christmas music is BACK! Last night in the car, Asher turned the radio on, and bam. There it was. "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree." I am not sad about this. No, it's not too early. No, it's not annoying. 😁 I love Christmas music. It feels almost impossible to be down when you are… Continue reading Couple good things
Good morning! Bonus pic above unrelated to rest of post: from my walk yesterday morning. This whole past week has involved a lot of carrying stuff from one place and putting it in another. It was a week ago already that we had the new carpet installed in the bedrooms, but I finally feel now… Continue reading New bedrooms- sneak peek
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!
It's been a good week. The vacation day on Tuesday definitely helped, too. Here are 5 random things for this Friday: Cross country is officially over. I mentioned the final two meets were cancelled, which was a HUGE bummer!! But such is life. They had their end of the season fun practice last night and… Continue reading Friday 5: XC, my b-day and good quotes
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
Hello hello! I didn't really intend to stop blogging for ~5 days, but I guess I did. Main reasons include: -Ivan is still in Mexico (gets home late tonight), so things have just been a little busier for me. -My parents came for the weekend (since I couldn't be in multiple places at once with… Continue reading I’m such a sucker! Back to volunteering….
Positive Comments! Within the past week, I received two heartfelt, positive comments that were just really lovely to hear. First, at the end of last week, I had sent my boss (on her last day) a "goodbye" message, just wishing her well and thanking her for her time with us, etc. She wrote back appreciatively,… Continue reading 3 Things Thursday
I haven't done one of these in a long time! Feeling it today, though. 🙂 1- It is fall. Being the fall loving person that I am, I know it's odd I haven't addressed this fact yet on the blog. We are actually having a snap of cooler (but in a lovely, beautiful way, not… Continue reading Friday 5: fall books, XC, meals, WFH & workouts!
Yesterday was Asher's very first 5:30 a.m. swim workout. As part of the scheduling dance to fit everyone in throughout the week, his group is assigned the Wednesday 5:30 -6:45 a.m. slot. His other practices are always in the evening, so it's just one early day per week (and, it's optional.) But when the schedules… Continue reading Early morning workouts
For the first time in a few weeks, we didn't have a soccer tournament, AND Ethan's league game was a home game (aka- the best kind of soccer game, 3 minutes from our house). It still felt plenty full, but simply being HOME more was just what I needed. I've mentioned I had been feeling… Continue reading A productive/nice weekend
GRATEFUL KAE
