Eek, it's been a little crazy! Last weekend we did sort of a mad rush to get the house cleaned, including the basement rec room/ guest room/ my office/ guest bathroom (which are the spaces that do not normally make it into our every-other-week cleaning routine), in anticipation of my in-laws arriving on Monday. But… Continue reading Thursday updates!
Welp, it's September 20th and I'm just getting around to doing my August recap. Obviously I could skip it, BUT doing it makes 8/8 so far on monthly recaps this year! So I can't break the streak. 😉 Of course the downfall to writing it 20 days after the month ends is that now I… Continue reading August 2025 Recap
*Don't worry, this isn't a body image post.* But I'm currently feeling so frustrated with my body! I just feel like I'm way too young to suddenly have all these physical ailments, especially when I'm a supposedly "healthy" person who exercises and is active and does all the right things. (Could my diet probably be… Continue reading Frustrations with my body
My Monday: Yesterday was a rare day in that I didn't have any scheduled meetings. That is THE BEST. My old job actually rarely had meetings (was very solo work oriented, back then), and I didn't realize how much I took that for granted. It was a peaceful day and I was able to catch… Continue reading Monday- tired but good + medical mystery
This weekend, we celebrated my mom!! She turned 75 on Friday!! a little blurry but I love this pic! 75 feels "big". Not gonna lie, 75 also sounds... kinda old. I remember when my parents turned 60, and I thought that while 60 was "older", it definitely wasn't old yet. In my mind, I guess… Continue reading A celebratory weekend (*with an unexpected darker turn in the post…*)
Brrrr, fall is HERE in Wisconsin!! My weather app said it was 47 degrees out this morning! 😳 I cannot fully decide what I think about this. On the one hand, many Septembers we still get very hot weather in Wisconsin, and I don't always love that either, because it doesn't feel like "fall" then.… Continue reading Fall is here, back to school part 2, money tracking, etc.
Hi friends! Sorry about the unintentional week-long blog break. I was not away on a mysterious adventure, but really just here at home, staying busy with regular life! I love blogging and reading blogs, but sometimes Real Life > Blog Life. 🙂 Also, a big part of what kicked off the blog break was this:… Continue reading Blog break catch up
I think our lack of a buffer day after our Florida trip kind of snowballed and caught up with me a bit this weekend. As I mentioned, we got home last Sunday night and then dove right back into everything on Monday. While yes, I technically unpacked immediately, there were still things lingering around all… Continue reading A little snowball
July feels like it was forever ago now, but it was really just a couple weeks ago. The beginning of July feels like it was REALLY long ago now. Which is strange, because at the same time, the summer has simultaneously flown by and it feels like just yesterday that school got out. Ha. Basically,… Continue reading July 2025 Recap
Re-Entry: We got home Sunday night around 8:30 p.m. before a full work week, which is obviously the IDEAL way to transition back from vacation to regular life. Ha. We have had a couple trips lately where we actually had an appropriate transition time factored in, and I will say, it was very nice. BUT,… Continue reading Decent re-entry, back to school grey zone, car + dog updates, etc.
GRATEFUL KAE
