This time next week, I should, God willing, be in Ireland!! Eek! I feel like we still have a lot of gift buying to do, but not for the Ireland crew. Their gifts are, thankfully, all set (except for a couple of small easy things I just have to pick up). We decided not to… Continue reading Pasta dinners + PJ parties + other pre-holiday misc.
OH MAN you guys, this past week! Was pretty nuts. I knew it going in and it did not disappoint. Let's do a run down of why I had a "sense of impending doom" last Sunday, while also trying to enjoy all the happy things and festive season... Lol, this meme made me laugh. 😅… Continue reading Hanging on, sort of…’tis the season
Blogging has had to take a very definitive back seat since we got home from Mexico! I guess 'tis the season that there are a lot of competing priorities. I spent this past weekend in sort of a pre-holiday CRAZE. I suddenly felt this huge pull to just get our whole house "Christmas ready". Even… Continue reading Quick check in/ last weekend/ shopping?
Whew this was a busy Saturday. I had a list a mile long of things I wanted/needed to do this weekend. Unfortunately I can't say I checked everything off, but I did check off some big things, so, that's a win. Of course, as usually happens, I also did several things that were not on… Continue reading Lots of things + some wins
After Halloween on Friday, we've had a fun and very enjoyable weekend! My parents arrived around 4 p.m. on Friday and stayed until ~11:15 a.m. today (Sunday), so we had a nice chunk of time with them. They came with us to Ethan's big Sectional Final soccer game at 1 p.m yesterday. Unfortunately, the weather… Continue reading The rest of the weekend
First of all, thank you for such amazing and robust comments on my travel hacking post the other day!! I can see that it's sort of a "polarizing" topic, with people having quite strong arguments for and against it. I haven't had a chance to respond to all your comments yet, but I will soon,… Continue reading Tuesday randomness
Argh, I still have not had a spare second to sort my final Nova Scotia pics and get that post up. BUT I WILL! Because the last days were incredible and deserve all the attention too! So please stay tuned... hopefully soon...😫 (Promise you won't skip it just because it's late!!!) It feels like so… Continue reading Some days in the life
for a real time update. I still have 2 days left to recap from the Nova Scotia trip (well, 1 full day plus our departure day, which still included some fun bits!), but that is not happening today. I do have a couple minutes though, so I thought I'd just pop on quickly for a… Continue reading Interrupting your regularly scheduled programming…
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!
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
GRATEFUL KAE
