Hello from the inside.... Let's talk quarantine! We're rounding out our first week of covid-quarantine and it's been patchy, at best. And, by patchy I do mean I have questioned my parenting skills on several occasions, have dreamed of sitting by the ocean again, and wondered if 2020 just...

So, we found out today that our guy has covid. We believe it's being traced back to his work and while the kids and I have no symptoms, we plan to self-quarantine in the house (separated from M, of course) and just assume we're positive. He's okay and we're okay and we're just hanging in there. Up...

Hi and hello from the tail end of a very long Sunday! Well, from the tail end of a pretty long week, too. Do you start your weeks on Sundays or Mondays? My girl insists that Sundays are the start of the new week but for me, it's all about the Mondays! I did a pretty deep pick-up of the house today,...

This handsome guy just finished his 3rd season of soccer! I can remember writing this post about his first practice last year. We were keeping our fingers crossed that he'd like it and maybe burn off some extra energy.  It's safe to say he's found his passion! His first season of soccer...

Puzzles have been our go-to for quarantine boredom! Our dining room table has been covered in a few ongoing puzzles for weeks now and I love sitting down to put together a few pieces when I have spare time here and there. Though, I'd spend the entire day doing puzzles if I could! And,...

I've got a mid-week meal plan for you today! We had some plans change earlier this week and I found I needed to plan out some meals I wasn't expecting to plan this week, so we're going simple - burgers, pizza, nachos. It sounds like a lot of bar food, ha!  We're soaking up this week for...

A few weeks ago, we took a tiny vacation. I'm going to preface this by saying I realize how much of a privilege it is to be able to take a vacation. We, of course, worried about spreading germs and catching germs. But, I'm also going to say that sometimes you have to get out. We typically go...

Happy Sunday! Summer feels so weird this year. It's like summer is almost over but didn't it just start? Yet I feel we've been doing "summer" forever now and also we've done n.o.t.h.i.n.g. See what I mean, weird!? But, they just announced that the start date of school is being pushed back to September...

Is anyone else super inspired by what other people love? I'm a compulsive review reader and I'm always down for a "favorite things" type blog post! I'm also a creature of habit and I tend to use and wear the same things over and over, changing and adapting as seasons come and go or as life flows. But,...

Recipes don't make their way here very often since I don't really love to cook and I'm not very adventurous in the kitchen. But every now and then I find my way around a hack or a favorite meal and I like to share it! These pork taquitos are the perfect summer dish. The homemade pico keeps...

Quarantine holidays are super weird, but honestly, I don't hate them! We usually spend most holidays at home together as a four-some, so it wasn't really all that different. Fireworks were super missed, but apparently our neighbors thought they had that under control, ha! We spent some time...

I'm back with this week's meal plan! If I'm being honest, I'm burned out by meal plans. And grocery shopping. And cooking and washing dishes and doing it all over again the next day and the next day and the next day. But, when I sat down on Saturday to make this week's plan, I found a little...

I spent the morning write yet another appeal letter to our school district asking them to please, with a cherry on top, allow our children to attend the same school.  Ok, I didn't add the cherry on top part but I did write a letter that I am really hoping pulls at the heartstrings of our superintendent....

I started June out strong with A Better Life. I devoured the book and then regretted not having read it slowly with a highlighter and post-its handy. There was so much that resonated with me. It's definitely a book I'll be reading again! Exciting Times was not exciting. I picked it up and put it...

A bright spot in our days lately is a trip to the library! Our library recently reopened (with extra safety measures in place) and while we can't hang around and spend hours playing or going to story time, we can still fill our bag with book choices for the week and it's bringing so much joy to...
