The week after Spring Break heading into Easter was a little rough getting back on track. I went through my Monday thinking it was Thursday. And that’s just never a good way to start! But as we wrapped things up on Friday, I still sat in awe of where the heck the week went… and…

All About La Quinta
Well hello! Spring Break is officially coming to an end and we officially took our little trip to La Quinta. Whenever we return from a trip, no matter how small, I always feel like we conquered some big task. I know, I know. Vacations aren’t supposed to be a task. But when you add up…
Welcome Spring
This week felt ultra-productive, any guesses why? Well! I got dressed and left the house exactly twice to get my hair done AND go to a doctor’s appointment. Haha. If you’d asked me in the before times, that would’ve been a really slow couple days, let alone week. The doctor probably also felt like a…
Quiet Morning
Even when I don’t have much to say, there is nothing better to me than a quiet morning after a good rain when I can sit down with my laptop to write at my desk. We have old beautiful windows that let in just enough sunlight and shadow to dance on the walls and illuminate…
What is Normal
The week has been like many others of the past year: somehow so busy yet so boring at the same time. We got a glimmer of hope in the news hearing that Disneyland and baseball stadiums would be allowed to open in April, as long as the numbers stay low. While they’d only be allowed…
Thoughts on Grace
Behind the blog scenes, I’ve been trying to work on my rough drafts throughout the week to have a post ready for publishing on Saturday or Sunday. But today, I had to start from scratch. I haven’t felt pulled to write publicly these past several days, even though I’ve been journaling regularly in private. One…
Boring
I honestly wasn’t even sure this boring week was worthy of an update. While much of the country has been in winter turmoil, our days in sunny Southern California have been uneventful and predictable at best. And while normally, the monotony drives me bonkers, I can also recognize when boring is a good thing. We…
Heart Update
First order of business is a heart update! On Monday, Stevie had a cardiology appointment. His heart history is kind of a lot. There are plenty of posts dedicated to it: like this one, this one, and this one. It was such a major part of our lives his first few years. For now, we…
Goals in Retrospect
I had a few small accomplishments this past month that I didn’t plan. They just sort of transpired when my energy and mindset happened to align with the stars and rainbows and universe. It makes me want to go back and write down some goals in retrospect, just so I can cross them off. Anybody…
Week in the Life
Hello! It’s been awhile! Hope everybody is staying well out there. We have been good-ish. Given the circumstances. I’m happy to report for this Week in the Life, all is well on the health and home front. We’re just dragging our butts through distance learning and trying to find little things to keep us busy…
