Another month has gone by. Did it bring cooler temperatures? No. Did I have more fun in September than I did in August? Also no. But did I learn from this? Time will tell. While I try to focus on the highlights for my weekend fun recaps, several weekends this September were kind of a
As an Enneagram One, I love a gift guide. I like to get things right, and lists of the “right” gift to get a certain type of person can be helpful. (Even if they are often extraordinarily out of my budget. Who are the people buying $350 throw blankets for their third cousins?) But I
Many years ago, my husband’s grandmother gambled on a birthday gift for him: an Indiana Jones LEGO set. Why was this a gamble? Don’t 8-year-old boys love LEGO sets? Of course they do. But he wasn’t 8. He was in his 20s. And this was before LEGO had really started marketing to adults. (GG was
How was your weekend? We kept things low-key since my girls went back to school this week. We love their school and their teachers, but it’s still a big transition for everyone! (Carpool lines are not fun.) I’ve got something fun planned for next weekend though, so stay tuned! We did manage to squeeze in
I hope you had a fun weekend! Kids in our area are recovering from going back to school. I know other areas of the country don’t go back for weeks. I think I’d like to be team-after-Labor-Day, but it gets so hot here in August we’re all hunkered down in the air conditioning anyway. Might
Ok, I can’t believe this entire weekend is AUGUST. July flew by thanks to vacation and vacation recovery. Certain school districts near us went back to school on Friday, and our start date is rapidly approaching too. But we’re still trying to make the most of our summer vacation! The book I finished this week
How was your weekend? I’m not in college anymore, so it does seem like quite the stretch to call Thursday evening part of the weekend. But we did finish up Return of the Jedi with the kids on Thursday. They, predictably, loved the Ewoks. (Do we need this Ewok Loungefly for our next Disney trip?
How was your weekend? I feel like we hit the ground running after getting back from Disney. I appreciated a slower weekend to try to regroup and recharge—though the reason it turned out to be slow was a bummer. We still tried to fill it with pockets of fun where possible though! Frozen: The Musical
Hooray for long weekends! I really appreciated having my husband off work and snuck in a little extra reading time while he hung with the kids. Keep reading to the end to find out what I couldn’t put down! But first, we (hopefully) have a new Fourth of July tradition, the kids review The Empire
I’ve shared about how I use a time budget and a list of 100 dreams to have more fun. Today, I’m sharing about my secret weapon that’s been helping me bridge the gap between “bucket list” and “day to day.” Over the years, I’ve tried spreadsheets, planners, and notebooks to help keep track of the
