Photo by Asher from this weekend I spent probably ~35 minutes last night doing a modified version of my weekly review. Namely, updating my planner and entering events into Google Calendar (so they will show up on the Family Calendar on the fridge). I had gotten a little behind on this and had a bunch… Continue reading No such thing as normal
I slept like total garbage last night. Sort of. I slept really great from 10 pm until 2 am, and then woke up. After laying there awake until ~4:20, I finally got up. In case you are wondering what time the birds wake up in my area (and start chirping), it is precisely 4:02 a.m.… Continue reading This and that
I have been wanting to share this for a few days now. It's something I got in an email last week and it really made an impact on me! It made me pause and think for a few minutes about what life is all about, and what the end goal really is. Apparently, this is… Continue reading What really matters in life?
Oh man, I feel a bit exhausted! Not exactly the feeling I strive to have at 6 am on a Monday morning, but I guess it's a good exhaustion. The weekend felt BUSY. As in, pre-pandemic busy feel! I have mixed feelings on this, but I don't exactly see a way around it, either. A… Continue reading Weekend whirlwind
New phone! Exciting news. Haha. Ivan ordered me a new phone the other day and it arrived yesterday. I am the type who might use the same iphone for eternity if it were not for the nudging of my husband. (I've said before- sometimes I don't love change!) I generally adapt fully to whatever phone… Continue reading Smartphones & bedtime guilt
Currently= 37, High= 70. Just a modest 43 degree spread....:) Seems a little crazy, but bring on 70! I love my calendar quote from today. The gratitude thing is always easy when everything goes your way, so I especially like the reminders that point out that the ultimate goal is to be grateful always- highs… Continue reading Monday: gratitude goals, family time and kids’ books
A Sunday gratitude brain dump: We got to watch Ethan's soccer game last night, and my parents met us there. He scored the first goal of the game and it was a beautiful one. I'm grateful no one blinked, looked away, accidentally missed it, etc. 🙂 (Every parent with kids in sports knows what I… Continue reading Sunday gratitude
Last night felt like a busy, but fun, start to the weekend. Asher had received an invite to play laser tag right after school at a local bowling alley with the 5 other boys in his school cohort (same boys that are together all day, every day- plus masked). He was really happy to get… Continue reading A fun start to the weekend
One of my favorite things about working from home is, of course, the FLEXIBILITY. We badly needed groceries for a few days, but with soccer all weekend, it just never happened. (In large part just because no one actually wanted to go get groceries.) Come Monday night, when I thought I would run over to… Continue reading The joy of a midweek, morning grocery run
Today is the 109th day of 2021. I saw somewhere or heard on a podcast I think last week that it was the 100th day of the year (would have been on Saturday, April 10th), and that kind of stopped me in my tracks for a sec. I remember thinking when I heard that, Wow!… Continue reading Day #109
GRATEFUL KAE
