Every morning in my little "highlight journal", I jot down a positive quote. (In between my daily summary paragraph (top part) and my bullet journal style recap (bottom half) which tracks my workouts, meals, accomplishments, gratitude, etc.) I thought I'd share a few I've written down lately: "Don't base your decisions on the advice of… Continue reading Positive quotes

Tired, the week, etc.
Feeling kind of tired/ blah this morning. I stayed up until 11 pm working on volunteer related preparations for yet another home hosted swim meet coming up the weekend of February 18-20. It's a big one, too- Regionals. Typically Regionals are not hosted by our team (we always just attend at a different pool) but… Continue reading Tired, the week, etc.
Whatever Wednesday
Something I'm loving eating this week: Ivan's pico de gallo! He made nachos on Sunday night, and he always makes a big bowl of pico de gallo to top the nachos with. We had leftovers, so I have repurposed the pico de gallo multiple times now. 1st: As a salad topper! Chicken, apple, black pepper,… Continue reading Whatever Wednesday
Friday 5: XC, my b-day and good quotes
It's been a good week. The vacation day on Tuesday definitely helped, too. Here are 5 random things for this Friday: Cross country is officially over. I mentioned the final two meets were cancelled, which was a HUGE bummer!! But such is life. They had their end of the season fun practice last night and… Continue reading Friday 5: XC, my b-day and good quotes
A better Tuesday
I'm happy to report that Tuesday, September 14, was exponentially better than Tuesday, September 7. 🙂 It was still our "busiest" day of the week....Ethan had piano right after school AND soccer later. Asher had cross country right after school AND swim later. I have to drive to/ from piano, and do CC pick up.… Continue reading A better Tuesday
3 Things Thursday
1. Something I'm happy about/ proud of: Asher decided to give open water swimming another try! He did a 1.2 mile lake swim race last summer, which he was really nervous about it but did it. This season, his swim team has some lake practices and a couple open water events on the calendar, but… Continue reading 3 Things Thursday
I am not throwing away my shot
Happy Sunday! I ended up having a pretty great Saturday, after some plans shifted and my day unexpectedly opened up. The morning was fairly lazy but included checking off a couple more months worth of photo organization. Still chugging along on this photo project. Ethan and I cleaned out his closet. It badly needed it… Continue reading I am not throwing away my shot
Friday 5: Inspiration
Today's Friday 5: Favorite quotes of the week! 1- "If you see something beautiful in someone, speak it". LOVE this one. I've been on kind of a private mission to do this as often as I can for a few years now. It feels a little funny at first, but it's such a win-win. The… Continue reading Friday 5: Inspiration
Misc. Thursday thoughts & family rulings
"Your first thought in the morning should be "thank you". You can choose whatever you want for the second." We definitely should be saying "thank you" every morning. God (or whatever/whoever you personally believe in) has granted us another day to be alive!!!! That is pretty awesome and amazing. Today is Thursday. I like Thursdays.… Continue reading Misc. Thursday thoughts & family rulings
Wisdom Wednesday- Don’t wish your life away….
Last night as he was getting ready for bed, Asher said, "Ughhhh it's only Tuesday!! Why can't it just be Friday already?" I asked him why, and he said, "Well, school days are just more boring and I want it to be the weekend already." I replied as my Mom used to say to me… Continue reading Wisdom Wednesday- Don’t wish your life away….
