Charlie, at 7:16 a.m. I was heading out of the shower (I was up by 5:30 even on my day off… what can I say) and Ivan was heading into the shower. Charlie thought we were all crazy and settled into my spot to keep sleeping, trying to ignore the lamp Ivan had turned on.… Continue reading Vacation mode
Ugh, I had a DAY today. Started full of promise: And I ended up feeling like this guy: Ha! A wooden Christmas decoration in my basement that apparently Charlie knocked over… and where did the fuzzy stuff come from?? 🤔 who knows. Not really worth delving into- was some work stuff. Anyway, let’s look on… Continue reading A day!
Can't break my NaBloPoMo streak!! Day 12 today. It's 9 pm and we just recently got home from Asher's high school swim team parent/athlete meeting. It was from 7-8:30. There's a brand new head coach, who we met tonight and seems very nice (pretty young/ casual in his hoodie...ha. Probably will be very popular with… Continue reading Late post!
I knew on Monday that the end of this week was gonna kind of kick my butt, mostly due to an imbalance of meetings, etc on the back half. Fortunately, it wasn't actually as bad as it would have been, due to a couple of handy cancellations. 🎉🎉 I kind of lost any good blogging… Continue reading Happy Friday!

This has not been the year of my "annual goals". Honestly I can't even remember if I shared my list. I may not have, in part because the last few years, I've made lofty lists and then more or less forget about them. Not to say I haven't done a lot of things! But I… Continue reading 2024 Goals update
I finally cleaned my office yesterday. I aim to do this monthly, but it gets away from me sometimes. It's not a large chore, but you know how it goes. It's important, though, because as things pile up and it literally starts to get dusty, I obviously just don't feel my most centered and professional!… Continue reading It’s Christmas in my office + idea request
It's a gloomy, rainy Sunday here and all I feel like doing right now is cuddling up with a blanket and.... well, that's about it. Haha. But I've been puttering around on the computer for too long now already (caught up on some blog comments, sketched out a MEAL PLAN for the week, etc.), and… Continue reading Quick Sunday post/ dinner woes update/ other misc
I peeked back in my "Blog Ideas" folder in Google Keep and saw I had once jotted down that I wanted to talk about Vertical Ownership regarding household responsibilities (aka "who does what"). I'll keep this specific to between me and Ivan, not counting stuff the boys help out with. IVAN: -cell phone related stuff-… Continue reading Vertical ownership
Yes, a dramatic title.... to talk about cooking + meal planning. Seriously though, why does this always feel so hard?! It annoys the living daylights out of me, for various reasons. First, compared to I think a lot of families, we don't even cook that much. We are not above eating out pretty frequently. 🤷♀️… Continue reading Why is this always so hard
GRATEFUL KAE
