If you know me, you might assume it was the 80 degree heat wave in January that I’m bitter about. Yeah, not stoked on that. But alas, Covid made it’s way into our little house. Last week at school, Stevie had an exposure. Not the first time that has happened, but this time just felt…
It surprises even me that I can post consistently to the blog for a solid 6 months, and then just… forget. I don’t forget for a week or two. I forget forever. It truly hasn’t even crossed my mind to log on! Today, I started editing photos from a recent trip hich reminded me that…
One more week of summer vacation down, two weeks to go! We are in the homestretch and the end is in sight — so why does it feel so far away? Well, first of all that’s my anxiety talking. The days are so long, that it’s hard for me to wrap my brain around them.…
It’s been a couple weeks since I sat down to write. While that usually means my life is too boring to think of anything to say, this time I’ve actually been busy ok? Looks like summer is in full swing. With some precautions of course, but much more busy-ness than we’ve experienced in awhile. On…
Boy oh boy, hot summer. It’s been a scorcher this week huh? It made me feel pretty lazy overall, and completely unprepared for many, many, many more hot summer days. But I still managed to drag myself in the ugly pool 3 days in a row and pose as “fun mom” for a little bit.…
How lucky was I to have my family visit for the weekend?? My mom and sister drove out to see us. When we did the math, we realized it had been 18+ months since we’d been together! Too long, that’s for sure. There was much to catch up on, and I was so grateful they…
How did a trip to Los Olivos come about out of the blue?? Well, we had friends come over last weekend, and you know what that means: time to uproot our entire existence, rethink all our life (and decor) decisions, and deep clean the house. It took a couple days to get everything done and…
I hadn’t been feeling my usual anxiety about summer break (thanks Lexapro!) but we were about 2.5 hours into it, when I remembered why it’s so damn overwhelming. Stevie has what is known as “zero chill”, officially diagnosed by ME. And when his schedule is disrupted (or non-existent) it can be quite the challenge. His…
Hello, hello, hello! Hope you have had a pleasant week. Things feel like they are really changing quickly around here. Of course, after the way this last year dragged on while simultaneously flying by, everything feels a bit out of sorts. But some sense of “normal”, so to speak, is at our fingertips. We have…
You ready to talk about mental health? I always find it so interesting that my intentions with blogging come and go so easily. There is steady motivation for a period of time, excited to write again… until I’m not. I start to take more days off than I intend to. But this time around, it’s…
