Recent Updates: 🔷 Friday night soccer! Last Friday were Ethan's first games of the season. He's basically on both JV AND Varsity, so being a holiday weekend, I cut out early from work to make it ~40 minutes across town to his 3:45 pm JV game (where he had an assist + a goal, yay!)… Continue reading Week updates and Friday Fashion #2
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
Ethan sort of goes back to school today! Ahhh. (Just a short orientation day, which as a sophomore basically means going to get his picture taken and receive new school ID and some other misc. tasks.) His first real day is tomorrow! I always think it's nice to start on a Thursday, to ease in… Continue reading Back to school- round 1
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!
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
Hello! Finally back in "present voice" here! Yay! It feels like AGES ago since I've written a real time post. It's hard to believe, but we've been home from Hawaii for almost 2 weeks already. Plus a 2 week trip... means it's just about a full month since we left for vacation! Mind.blown. So, what… Continue reading Some real time updates!
On Sunday I ran to T.J.Maxx looking for a new little bralette for sleeping in, because a very cute, curly haired friend chewed the strap off of my old but beloved one. (My fault for leaving it on the floor... he really doesn't chew on things anymore, except socks and/or undergarments of any kind are… Continue reading Overheard in the fitting room + a few packing confessions
Full rainbow view from soccer parking lot on Wednesday night 😍 Whew, this week has felt chaotic. I had a dentist appt Monday, meetings all morning Wednesday + a haircut in the afternoon, another quick appointment Thursday... My work days have felt all over the place. The evenings have not been any calmer. I am… Continue reading Friday misc./ busy week/ end of freshman year!
1- Ethan's tennis banquet Last night we attended Ethan's end-of-season tennis banquet at school. It was at 5:30 p.m. and way across town (for me anyway, from home...). Ivan met us there from work. Ethan drove me, despite being essentially "rush hour" on the "busy/ scary interstate route" (which is actually just his normal route… Continue reading Friday 5: Misc
GRATEFUL KAE
