It's been a nice last few days. Some sunny weather, got my 2nd dose of vaccine (no side effects with either, except maybe a tiny headache last night?), some much needed cleaning, soccer games, outside time, Mexican food.... Here's a little recap: *A lunchtime walk on Friday. I did a short 27 minute core workout… Continue reading Last couple days in pics
I heard this great parable yesterday, so obviously I have to share, because as you know, I love parables. I'm pretty sure it's one that many people have heard before, but I guess I never had. Two shoe salesmen go to Africa: Two shoe salesmen were sent to Africa in the early 1900s to see… Continue reading African shoes, perspective + Saturday
Last night we watched The Witches, the 2020 movie remake of Roald Dahl's classic (and childhood favorite of mine) book. The boys and I have read that book several times over the years, too. I'm actually a big Roald Dahl fan in general and read most of his books as a kid. The remake is… Continue reading The Witches and Weekend Morning Routine Dilemmas
It's so dark out this morning!!! 😦 We had Daylight Savings time on Saturday night here in the U.S., as many of you know, so it is now darker later in the morning but light out until later in the evening. I may be in the minority that actually prefers the light in the morning...at… Continue reading Dark morning! New week.
Yesterday was a day that felt longer than most. Not in a bad way, but it just seemed to have significantly more hours in it than other days. This is, of course, not true- though I suppose it technically had more waking hours for me than some days. I was up at 5:30 a.m. and… Continue reading A day with many hours
OKAY Wisco weather, very funny. Today I woke up to a real temperature of -6 and my iphone cheerfully informed me that the wind chill was -20. AND, this time, it is also snowing. How can it even snow when it's that cold?? I thought that was like, a meteorological impossibility. Ah, well. There is… Continue reading Saturday attitude and gratitude 🙂
This was the nicest weekend!!! The first really "relaxing" weekend since the whole holiday rush + vacation + unpacking/ taking Christmas decoration down weekends. Friday night started off with driving Asher ~30 minutes away to a swim practice, BUT it meant I had a full hour to sit in the car and read my book… Continue reading A great weekend
Sunday was a nice day. There were some really nice moments of connection that I really enjoyed. As the kids get older, it can be so easy to kind of just all do our own things sometimes. On weekends, they like to spend a good amount of time playing video games with their friends. I… Continue reading Connection
I had a pretty glorious day yesterday. The snowy weather definitely set the mood for me and I was in full on "cozy mode". I did get all my work done from my home office with my slippers on :), I DID try out the hot tub while it was snowing (loved it!) and I… Continue reading Glorious day + My 12 Days of Christmas challenge
I'm pretty happy with how much I've been managing to read lately. Still probably not that much, relatively speaking, but I'm reading daily and I'm happy about that. I picked up a couple new library holds yesterday so I thought I'd share what I'm reading. Currently Reading: 📘The Girl in the Tower by Katherine Arden:… Continue reading Current Reads & more
