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 »

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 »

We have had the most insane week so you’ll have to excuse the lack of posts lately–and the fact that I’m posting at 8pm on a Friday! Between preschool Halloween festivities, the actual holiday, kindergarten applications, a minor medical procedure (no worries, I’m fine!) and more, I’m feeling more frazzled than usual after this week.

But let’s chat about life lately and November plans. Can you believe Christmas is next month?!… Read More »

Actually, I love rainy weather. But our backyard is covered in soggy leaves that need to be raked. We need the lawn to dry out so that we can clean up!

This week has been full-on. My in-laws left on Tuesday morning, we’ve had three doctor’s appointments, two kindergarten info sessions, a trunk-or-treat, preschool, and nonstop wet weather to work around too. I wanted to share a blog post on Wednesday but had no time to finalize it before then. Needless to say, we’re taking it very slow this weekend.

But let’s chat a bit more about the week that was!… Read More »

Happy Friday, friends! We have a packed ahead with errands, appointments and oh yes–my in-laws visiting too. This morning I’m off to the doctor’s for a blood test and then it’s time to clean (I love a clean house on Friday evenings), get outside, and then prepare for family pizza night with Grandma & Grandpa tonight.

This is MEA Weekend here in MN–basically teacher in-service days for most of the week–so there was no preschool on Wednesday or Thursday. We’ve played all the games, done all the crafts, read all the books and so much more. Mama is definitely ready for the weekend 😛
