I feel like this last ~week or so has been fun! Backing up to last Thursday- I already talked about my nursing symposium presentation + fun "little adventure" out for happy hour with Ivan. Friday was stormy and low key and we had tornado warnings. Side note: I haven't mentioned here yet, but we had… Continue reading A fun stretch!
Given our abrupt re-entry post-vacay, I was Very Happy to not have many major plans this weekend. Ethan did have an overnight tennis tournament, but we didn't go. They played Friday during the school day (why? I really don't know) and then Saturday beginning at 9 a.m. Hopefully we'll catch some other closer matches soon!… Continue reading The weekend, misc.
Ahh, it feels SO NICE to have a mid-week departure planned, on the heels of a wide open weekend. This has most definitely not always been the case lately. On recent trips we've had multiple Friday night departures, which means working all week AND trying to get ready for trip... This Wednesday departure was planned… Continue reading Weekend: pre-spring break
I’m so relieved swim season is over now! It is SO FUN and there’s sadness when it ends too, but I was soooo excited to see nothing on the calendar this weekend. I spent Saturday mostly in a relaxed catch up mode. Nothing was “urgent” but I have a long list of things to do… Continue reading Finally breathing room
I think our lack of a buffer day after our Florida trip kind of snowballed and caught up with me a bit this weekend. As I mentioned, we got home last Sunday night and then dove right back into everything on Monday. While yes, I technically unpacked immediately, there were still things lingering around all… Continue reading A little snowball
We had a pretty low key weekend. Since I was away for the swim meet all last weekend, and this upcoming weekend we'll be traveling, I was happy to just be mostly around home. I'll admit I sometimes have thoughts that we are not doing a good enough job of "enjoying summer" or "seizing the… Continue reading Weekends + on NOT YOLO’ing…
Well, my ~5 day blogging streak last week was nice while it lasted! Ha. I then swiftly rebounded with a 5 day no blogging streak. 🤷♀️ In part, I was just busy doing other things, and also, I'm not sure my "modified" Whole 30 is really quite as interesting! I had the NICEST weekend, though!!… Continue reading Perfect weekend
First off, I realized I never shared the boys' Mother's Day cards. They were very sweet, and also very different, which actually made me smile, because the boys are different, of course! Asher, who is naturally artistic but sadly is not currently doing anything to continue fostering this (he used to do a ton of… Continue reading Things we’ve been up to/ Misc. Updates
My mom was in town this past week! So, I've been a little quiet in the blogosphere and just doing other things! It was so nice to have her here. She comes like this, alone, now and then and while of course I love to have both of my parents here, it's just a little… Continue reading Tuesday misc.
Almost spring break: We are now ~10 days out from spring break (!!!). We had a really chill weekend, and I'm so glad. The past ~5 years or so Asher has always had the State swim meet the weekend right before (or very close) to when we've left for spring break. I remember being out… Continue reading Almost spring break, lifeguarding + luck and the Chinese farmer
