Yay, NaBloPoMo is here! I already laid out my plan, but in case you missed it, it's: post every day in November my posts must be <500 words (*I might make an exception for the quinceanera recap which I still haven't gotten around to) no daily themes. I'm not a "theme blogger" and I generally… Continue reading NaBloPoMo Day 1! And Halloween 2024
Yesterday I think I might have attended my last ever club soccer game. (I say "might have" because I guess I don't know for sure, but it looks that way.) It feels a bit surreal and like an end of an era. The boys started doing little toddler soccer classes when they were TWO years… Continue reading On the end of things
This past weekend we had a rare weekend away: I'll call it a "2:1" weekend. 2 parents, 1 child. I don't think we'd ever really done this before! (the 2:1 thing). But it just so happened that Ethan had a soccer tournament in St. Louis, and Asher had a packed weekend himself at home- a… Continue reading 2:1 Weekend in St. Louis
This past week has been FUN! And, I'm tired now. Hahaha. Yesterday was our last "action" day of this Thanksgiving week, which as you know by now, has been full of theater performances, shopping, cooking, lots of amazing family time, Thanksgiving, decorating, work and more. My parents were slated to leave yesterday (Saturday), after being… Continue reading A 4-part busy Saturday; now ready for a quiet day!
On Sunday I sat in the bleachers right behind the player's bench at Asher's soccer game. I spent much of the game observing his coach as he interacted with the boys. This was not Asher's real coach, but rather a sub, or fill in coach. It's a long story, but the real coach for Asher's… Continue reading If you see something, say something
I was thinking this morning, as I filled out my little daily journal page....I am so glad I started including a section of "things I accomplished". I've been doing this religiously for a couple years now. I'm currently sitting in my car outside a morning swim practice, so I don't have my journal with me… Continue reading Writing down things I accomplished
Happy Monday! My desk calendar also informs me that today is the "Queen's Birthday" celebration holiday in Western Australia, so, happy birthday to the Queen, if you happen to live in Western Australia. 🙂 How was your weekend? Mine was good. I do find that despite "looking forward" to the weekend/ no work/ etc... sometimes… Continue reading Non-fall fun weekend 🙂
Happy Tuesday. It feels like it's been a bit since my last regular post, but I guess it was just last Friday. How was your weekend? Mine, again, felt quite full. This is just the reality when Ethan has soccer tournaments (as he did again this weekend). When you have multiple games, spread out across… Continue reading Weekend happenings + misc.
Hello and happy Wednesday! It's been a while. These last days have been FULL but fun. Asher and I left around 2 pm Friday afternoon for a 3 day swim meet ~1 1/2 hours away (but near my parents' house). He swam right away Friday evening, so we went straight to the pool. We got… Continue reading Whew, I’m back
This has been a really glorious weekend so far. Saturday I spent a bunch of time alone with the boys. Ethan had a soccer game an hour north of here at 9 am, but Ivan had to work for a bit so I took them by myself. Weather was really nice and afterwards we stopped… Continue reading Weekend + Kid-free time!!!
GRATEFUL KAE
