The other day I sent Ivan a text that said, "I feel like we did nothing this summer." I mean, obviously we lived and we did things. But I can't shake the feeling that this summer has felt so off. In large part, I know I need to be realistic about what an impact this… Continue reading A summer post-mortem
If you've been reading a while, you'll know cardio and I have a complicated relationship. I've tried dabbling getting back into running twice this year, and neither time stuck more than about ~2 weeks (if that). 😩 I've had varying levels of success with Emkfit dance videos on Youtube. They're fun, short (~20 min) and… Continue reading Switching up cardio again + current workout schedule
Okay, I promise I will not write a third post about the Mexico trip decision. 😂 The final decision is Sunday- Sunday and I'm refusing to even think about it anymore (though I don't think Ivan has actually bought the plane tickets yet, so with my luck, after all this, it will turn out that… Continue reading “Non-Mexico trip decision” life updates
I have a couple of good nuggets from two podcast episodes I listened to recently! Up first is a fan favorite, The Lazy Genius. In the recent Office Hours episode (ep. 377), she answers a question about how to "lazy genius" exercise (how to actually get it done or be consistent). The listener says, "I… Continue reading Expectations + “my days are better when…”
I realized this week that there are two distinct changes coming our way this year, and I'm pretty on board with both of them! 1. The mornings This will be the first year ever that I will not be responsible for driving at least one child to school (or the bus stop). Even when the… Continue reading 2 things I’m looking forward to this school year
A few random things on this Tuesday: #1. I wrote a guest post! On Sunday NGS published my guest post as part of her special 20th anniversary blog series. Every Sunday a guest blogger shares some sort of "20 Things" list of their choice. Mine was, of course, 20 Things I'm Grateful For. I had… Continue reading Tuesday misc.
This weekend, in comparison to last weekend's intense weekend, had some very welcome breathing room in it. Asher ended up getting a last minute invite to go up north on Thursday afternoon with his friend and his friend's dad to their lake house. So he was gone. He got home Sunday night, at 9:30 p.m.… Continue reading A much needed breather + blogger meet up!
Annnnd the very choppy blogging schedule continues. Sigh. The week has been basically a continuation of previous recent weeks. I will not lie and say this post-Hawaii summer has been my most awesome summer. But, nothing is overtly horrible (at all!), either, and I also cannot exactly figure out how to express my discontent without… Continue reading An intense weekend
Eek, this is a hard post for me to write. Buckle up, it's a looong one. I have a big confession. I have a very bad habit that I have never really delved into on this blog but am going to today! I've maybe hinted at it here and there, and people with an observant… Continue reading BIG CONFESSION time + a life-altering mid-year goal
Today is Charlie's 1st birthday!!! Poor guy... for his birthday he got... neutered. 😆 Another cone shot from yesterday morning He's doing really well though! To be honest it doesn't seem like he even notices that he had surgery. He was real loppy and out of it that first night (anesthesia...) and was a little… Continue reading Happy birthday Char Char!
