Last night Asher and I attended a Course Expo at the high school to learn about the various course offerings. His course selections for high school next year are due tomorrow already! It's hard for me to wrap my brain around the fact that I will have two kids in high school next year. WHAT?! Asher… Continue reading High school x2?!

A swimming weekend and Christmas challenge check-in
This has been a pretty swim dominated weekend so far. Friday night Asher and I attended the high school swim meet. His best swim friend is a year older and already in high school, so we went to watch him swim. It made Asher very excited to do HS swim next year!! There is a… Continue reading A swimming weekend and Christmas challenge check-in
Sunday scenes + dog humor
Happy Daylight Savings Day to all who celebrate. 😉 I definitely LOVE the "fall back" way more than the "spring ahead". Yay for more sleep! And this weekend, I needed that extra hour. As you know, my Thursday-Friday were very short in the sleep department. And today, I'm writing from an Aquatic Center lobby while… Continue reading Sunday scenes + dog humor
A “it’s really feeling like fall now” weekend update
The Packer game kicks off in 20 minutes, so I don't have much time. Just jumping on to say hola and give a quick weekend update. The weather has been BEAUTIFUL. Just beautiful. Well, yesterday and today, anyway. Friday night Ethan had a 4:30 p.m. soccer game and it was overcast and spitting a few… Continue reading A “it’s really feeling like fall now” weekend update

More volunteering (but the okay kind) + a kids/tech webinar
Last night Asher and I volunteered for an event benefiting his swim team from 6:30- 8:15. Once a year, a locally based/ now-chain Wisconsin fan-favorite restaurant called Culver's does a benefit night for his team, where a % of the proceeds go to the team. As such, they ask for some team volunteers to "help… Continue reading More volunteering (but the okay kind) + a kids/tech webinar
Catching up/ a Sept. weekend
Gosh, I didn't mean to go 6 days without posting, but apparently I did. Well, it's not that surprising, because my life continues to feel a bit like a tilt-a-whirl over here... Backing up to the weekend: So what I wanted to do this weekend looked about like this: I did not, however, curl up… Continue reading Catching up/ a Sept. weekend
Beginning of fall (?!?) and thoughts on summer + working
(Pics from my walk this morning) I cannot believe it's September tomorrow. I just can't! I feel generally happy about this, because September- December is definitely my favorite season. But it still feels like a bit of a shock to me. I think summer went....well. I think? I'm not even sure. I know there were… Continue reading Beginning of fall (?!?) and thoughts on summer + working
Driving update
We have a real driver!! I mean he still just has his learner's permit (won't get his real license until next July 2024 when he turns 16), but Ethan can really DRIVE now! Like, competently and comfortably! I haven't said much about this all lately, so I figure I'm due for an update. Overall, Ethan… Continue reading Driving update
A Pet Peeve and good advice
TGIF... we made it to the end of Week 1 of the school year. 🎉🎉 Now, instead of celebrating yet, I need just one quick minute to be negative. I have a Pet Peeve to get off my chest. The best representation for how I feel about this current situation is: Yes, a big ol'… Continue reading A Pet Peeve and good advice
