The cool thing about having a blog is that you have a fun place to decompress and share details about your life with other people. The bad thing about having a blog is that.... other people know a lot about your life! Which, is NOT actually a "bad thing" in my opinion- obviously I choose… Continue reading New habits + blogging + feeling self-conscious
This summer has felt a little odd so far. I'm not 100% sure why. Brainstorming, it may be a few things. 1- The kids got out of school extra early- at the end of May!! 2- The weather was super hot for a bit, then chilly and damp and almost fall like for the past… Continue reading A bit of a weird-feeling summer so far
Duck families...so fun to watch We're almost a 2 solid weeks in to summer break now. Inevitably, I feel like we always go through a slightly bumpy transition period when we shift from school to break or back again. Maybe this is my "fault", for lack of planning or foresight...I'm not sure. I mean, we… Continue reading Getting in a groove/ summer schedule
Photo by Asher from this weekend I spent probably ~35 minutes last night doing a modified version of my weekly review. Namely, updating my planner and entering events into Google Calendar (so they will show up on the Family Calendar on the fridge). I had gotten a little behind on this and had a bunch… Continue reading No such thing as normal
In my perfect world, I'd have at least ~2 hours to leisurely enjoy my morning routine. 🙂 I used to get up at 4:30 a.m. (although back then, I would often work for 2 hours before the kids got up! Now that they are older, I can work later into the afternoon and these early… Continue reading Current Morning Routine Staples
On Monday, I had two podcast episodes back to back in my podcast subscription feed that were, ironically, both about the topic of routines. I am a big fan of routines in general, so these were fun to listen to! They were very different styles and sort of tackled different angles of routines. 1- Best… Continue reading Routineology
Since we've been home all week 24/7, I'm missing most of the "anchors" in my life right now. It's nice, in a way, to have some total "free for all" days, but also still odd. (Less odd now than it would have been a few years ago, since we have become fairly used to this… Continue reading Parkinson’s Law + work/time expansion…
As you know, I like getting up pretty early and I LOVE my morning routine time. But there is one thing that annoys me sometimes when I listen to podcasts/ read articles about starting or improving a morning routine. I feel like oftentimes people seem to completely forget about these little things called "transitions". For… Continue reading A pet peeve about advice on morning routines
Some days are very average and the even-ness of them can be a welcome thing. Nothing too good or bad happened around here yesterday. It was just an average Monday. 🙂 I felt a little renewed sense of a "fresh start" since it was the first day of a new month. As a result, I… Continue reading A typical Monday
Ahhh I say this every time, but after any time away I really do love getting back into my normal routines. I'm such a weird mix....I LOVE traveling so much but I also LOVE just being at home. 🙂 It's January 12th today and I'm excited to finally really dive into my "new year's" stuff.… Continue reading Normal life & fresh slate
GRATEFUL KAE
