Life Lately: Looking Forward to 2024

January 28, 2024 by Claire Leave a Comment

Hi friends! It’s been a while. I took a much-needed break from social media and the blog around the holidays and I’m just getting back online now. It helps that it’s warmmm here lately (It’s going to be in the 40s this week :D) and that puts me in such a wonderful mood.

Since meteorologists started predicting a warm winter in the fall, I thought I was going to be quite miserable without the snow, ice and January sun–but I’m actually in love with the rain, fog, and milder temperatures. It’s like someone has lifted a cloud over me and everything feels lighter. Maybe I have SAD and didn’t realize it until now? But I could live in a climate like this forever and ever, alternating between warm, sunny summer and cool, rainy winter.

Anyways, let’s chat about the week that was!… Read More »

Life Lately: A Blah Week, But Looking Forward

December 8, 2023 by Claire Leave a Comment

Last week and this week have simply not been great. There’s been a lot of stuff going on and plentyyy of preschool viruses on top of that–we’ve been to the doctor several times over the past few weeks for respiratory illnesses, junky coughs, etc. Just can’t seem to shake it! I feel like someone gets better and then another one of us gets sick on repeat.

Anyways, let’s not dwell on the negative. We’ve had some fun, too. Let’s chat!… Read More »

Life Lately: Christmas Prep & Shorter Days

It’s about 4:30 in the afternoon and it’s already twilight outside here. Does anyone else feel more tired this time of year, whether or not it’s cold out? It was actually 63F this afternoon, and I’ve been out quite a bit (two walks to and from preschool, gone to the library and done preschool pickup too) so it’s definitely not the weather or even lack of outside time. I feel like I could hit the hay right now though!

Anyways, we’ve again had a busy busy week so let’s chat about all the recent things!… Read More »

Life Lately: Holiday Dreaming

November 10, 2023 by Claire Leave a Comment

I don’t know about you, but I am so excited for Christmas this year. I’ve been playing music since November 1, planning and ordering all the presents, and eagerly awaiting all of the hallmark moments of December. The first sledding trip, Toys for Tots shopping, baking cookies, everything!

My overly-ambitious goal is to be done shopping for gifts–not the homemade ones of course!–by December 1. We shall see if that transpires. I have been working away madly the past week. Kids gifts, check, stocking things, check, lists of ideas for family members, almost check.

Now, let’s chat about life lately! Apologies in advance for the lack of photos. All my photos this week had my kids in them!… Read More »
