When I posted last time, it was Wednesday and I still felt rather frazzled. I'm happy to report that things finally feel like they're settling down. We had a busy but overall nice week. Like I mentioned, we attended a Senior Parent Meeting on Wednesday at Ethan's school. Of course, LOTS of "college application" talk… Continue reading Settling down
I still have 1 more Florida recap to write, but haven't had a chance. I wanted to pop in and say hi and give a little update though. Re-entry In terms of post vacation re-entry, this was one of our best yet! We were away for a total of 9 nights and got home Sunday… Continue reading Touching base!

Never fear, there was still plenty of… Continue reading May 2026 Recap

From a tree in my backyard... in a beer glass. 😅 I think after my lengthy blogging streak on vacation, plus some long "recappy" posts when we returned, I maybe hit a blogging saturation point, or something. Sorry for the radio silence all week! I guess I felt like I didn't have anything too significant… Continue reading Happy May! + MayBloPoMo 😉
