June!! Is long over now. As you can see by the (many) pics I selected above, the main focus of June was our trip to Zion National Park + Las Vegas. (See all the recaps here.) However, we were home for the whole beginning of the month. The focus of that half was Sectionals and… Continue reading June 2026 Recap
May was the least "Mayhem" May I think we've had in years. I guess we are officially past some of that. Or, it's a lull until the next two years when I'll have seniors and I think there's more of a flurry again as senior year wraps up. Never fear, there was still plenty of… Continue reading May 2026 Recap
In the spirit of (trying) to keep my posts shorter, I'm going to do a slightly less thorough April recap. (*everyone cheers*) The month kicked off with the first ~5 days spent in the Virgin Islands. We returned late Sunday April 5th, then dove into a new workweek. I struggled to get my footing a… Continue reading A sort-of abbreviated April 2026 Monthly Recap
Looking back, March was an abrupt pivot from all things SWIMMING (February) to a big spring break focus- with several miscellaneous events/ activities, first. I think the general vibe in the beginning was some relief to be released from the craziness of swim season. The month ended on a mega-high: our epic spring break trip!!… Continue reading March 2026 Recap
February.... did February actually happen?? I feel unsure. Ha. It went by so fast and in such a blur!! I hesitated to even do this recap, because as I mentioned in another recent post, my month can basically be summed up by: Need I say more? Well, yes, I always need to say more. 😆… Continue reading February 2026 Recap
Bringing back the monthly recap, which I did so diligently every single month in 2025.... until October. 😩 Can I make it all 12 months in 2026?? Ah... January. It's always such a LONG month here in WI. It was VERY COLD. 🥶 I was quite sick for part of it. It was a good… Continue reading January 2026 Recap
Well, I went to write my October Recap and realized that I never wrote my September Recap! I can't have that!! I have not missed a single other month. I was going to attempt to combine Sept and Oct but as soon as I started I was like, nope. Who am I kidding. I don't… Continue reading September 2025 Recap
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
May was a good month overall! The weather FINALLY starts to feel like spring in May around here and it is amazing. I have never really been a "super impacted by the weather" person, but maybe I am becoming one in my old age. lol. I just felt extra blah for a long time during… Continue reading May 2025 Recap
Hmmm, April! I'm not sure what I think about April. I think in general spring is just not my favorite season. In March we had the big London trip which dominated everything, but April was pretty typical, I guess. I did have a few events that "shook up" my regular routine (namely houseguests + having… Continue reading April 2025 Recap
