Duck families...so fun to watch We're almost a 2 solid weeks in to summer break now. Inevitably, I feel like we always go through a slightly bumpy transition period when we shift from school to break or back again. Maybe this is my "fault", for lack of planning or foresight...I'm not sure. I mean, we… Continue reading Getting in a groove/ summer schedule
Hello and happy Wednesday! It's been a while. These last days have been FULL but fun. Asher and I left around 2 pm Friday afternoon for a 3 day swim meet ~1 1/2 hours away (but near my parents' house). He swam right away Friday evening, so we went straight to the pool. We got… Continue reading Whew, I’m back
1. Something I'm happy about/ proud of: Asher decided to give open water swimming another try! He did a 1.2 mile lake swim race last summer, which he was really nervous about it but did it. This season, his swim team has some lake practices and a couple open water events on the calendar, but… Continue reading 3 Things Thursday
Day 1 of June was a success, in regards to my "new goals". Beginner's luck, probably. Hehe. Of course, day 1 is always pretty easy. It's not like I really set any huge lofty goals anyway, but it still felt good to be intentional about checking a few things off. Workout: âś… (Did workout #79… Continue reading 1st day of June, covid milestones, misc.
I am feeling some major "new month" excitement this month, for the first time in a while. Looking back, I actually didn't even write out monthly goals really for April OR May...which, if you've been reading a while, is not really like me. The spring has just been.....a lot. I've mostly just been kind of… Continue reading JUNE goals!
This has been a really glorious weekend so far. Saturday I spent a bunch of time alone with the boys. Ethan had a soccer game an hour north of here at 9 am, but Ivan had to work for a bit so I took them by myself. Weather was really nice and afterwards we stopped… Continue reading Weekend + Kid-free time!!!
Happy kickoff to Memorial Day weekend! I am working today but the boys have off. In true Wisconsin fashion, we are enjoying a summer-like start to the holiday weekend: Blows my mind that last weekend I was wearing shorts and a tank top and sweating in 88 degree temperatures, and yesterday was rainy ALL day… Continue reading The Murph, Memorial Day & More
Scooter walk Yesterday morning we revived an old tradition- the scooter walk to school. Well, in their case, it's technically to the bus stop, which is AT a school. Then they take the bus from there over to their actual school. We used to do this ALL THE TIME when they were younger. Previously they… Continue reading Scooter walks + Social culture
A pretty red winged blackbird on my walk yesterday morning 🙂 The last few weeks, I have noticed that my "toughest" days of the week are Tuesday and Wednesday. Probably not surprising, I guess- I feel like this might be the case for other people, too. Mondays I tend to feel fresh, ready to get… Continue reading Days of the week
I've been having this ongoing worry for a while now. Not something I sit and perseverate on or anything, but just something I think about, worry about for a little bit, then forget about for a while, and then it comes back. Last night Asher reminded me of it, so it's back in my mind… Continue reading An intermittent but persistent worry
GRATEFUL KAE
