We had a great Thanksgiving! It's a little strange and wistful to me how quickly the holidays come and go.... and then in a blink they come around again.... Anyway, every year is special that we get to be together. 💕 Wednesday Our festivities kicked off on Wednesday evening. My parents arrived late afternoon just… Continue reading Thanksgiving 2025! (And thoughts on a big family decision)
Blogging has had to take a very definitive back seat since we got home from Mexico! I guess 'tis the season that there are a lot of competing priorities. I spent this past weekend in sort of a pre-holiday CRAZE. I suddenly felt this huge pull to just get our whole house "Christmas ready". Even… Continue reading Quick check in/ last weekend/ shopping?
This has been a great weekend!!! Really a lovely time spent enjoying good food, family and relaxing. Before I get into all of that, I'll address the fact (again) that I clearly ended up bailing on the tail end of NaBloPoMo. Oops. I think I just got a little overwhelmed trying to even read or… Continue reading Thanksgiving weekend 2024 + in need of fresh month energy!
Well I've really dropped the ball on my NaBloPoMo quest. Unfortunately, I'll have to admit this is kind of how my personality goes. Once I break the proverbial seal and "screw up" at something, I am way more likely to sort of throw in the towel and be like, "Eh, well, already broke the chain,… Continue reading The day before Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving 2023 ❤️
Phew, this was a busy day. It went: * 4:55 am wake up * leave home 5:15, Asher to swim by 5:30 am * straight to grocery store by 5:45 am… trying to beat the crowds! It worked. (More on this later but we are doing a sort of phoned in Thanksgiving this year for… Continue reading Busy Pre-Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is over! Now two of the four main holidays of the year (for us) are done- Halloween, Thanksgiving.... just Christmas and New Years are left now. New Years is not technically a big deal in our family, but the whole "fresh year" thing still brings some excitement and is a fun time. I always… Continue reading T-Day 2022 Recap
Yesterday I recorded something I was grateful for, every hour, on the hour. Sharing today in honor of Thanksgiving! I'm grateful..... 06:00..... That our main grocery store is open 24 hours/day, allowing me to go during Asher's 5:30 a.m. swim practice and miss the rush later. 07:00.... for Asher's swim coaches, and the strange hours… Continue reading 24 Hour Gratitude Challenge 2022
I hope everyone had a great holiday, if you celebrated it! I can't believe it's already the Sunday of the long weekend. 😦 I wish I had a few more days. We had a really nice Thanksgiving- small, quiet, intimate, and peaceful. Just the 4 of us + my parents. My Dad and I did… Continue reading Turkey Day 2021 Recap
In a perfect world, I would have some very cute and catchy Thanksgiving/ gratitude themed post prepped and ready to go today, since, you know, "Grateful Kae" and all.....gratitude is kind of my jam....and it's THANKSgiving.... But, I don't! 😆 I actually had not one single specific thing in mind to write this morning as… Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving
