Every year, I forget how much I love summer break. No, seriously. I ALWAYS forget how amazing it is & how great I have it. I love my slow mornings of drinking green drinks on the patio steps, in the warm sunlight. I love my daily, mid-morning walks or visits to the dog park with…

holiday magic
One week from today Christmas Eve will be upon us. I can’t help but feel giddy with excitement. There’s just something about Christmas. Christmas has a way of sprinkling it’s magical, wondrous, curious spirit through my bones. Even though I’m not anxiously waiting for Santa to sneak into our house on Christmas Eve, I find…
happy november!
another kaylee & ace day
Ace and I have an annual tradition: the weekday before workshop begins, we take the day to ourselves & do anything and everything that makes Ace happy. It’s one of my favorite days. I drop all my agendas, to-dos, cleaning tasks, etc… and I do anything Ace wants, [within reason]. This year’s holiday tradition fell…
slow down, summer
News flash: in two weeks I’ll be sitting in back to school workshop meetings. Summer has flown by, as always. About every summer, around this time I realize how little I’ve accomplished in terms of curriculum writing, house projects, etc… and I usually try to squish everything remaining on my to-do list in a couple…
some memories and forever reminder
summer bowls & summer break
Well people, it’s officially summer break. It doesn’t feel real quite yet, [even being able to sleep in without an alarm this morning], but I can’t wait to patio sit with Ace & get some projects done. I kicked off my summer break celebration with an amazing recipe for last night’s dinner. It was the…

a birthday & some veggies
Happy Sunday! The past couple weekends have brought some really fun memories and projects; Ace’s third birthday & planting veggies in my first garden. Ace’s third birthday was a special one; it was the first birthday that Tony was around to celebrate. [Don’t roll your eyes, Ace is our fur baby, and it’s important we’re…
mimosas made me do it
Mimosas. They are my favorite. I’m not a big drinker, but when someone pours a mimosa on a Saturday or Sunday morning, I will gladly accept seconds, thirds, even fourths. Mimosas coat my anxiousness with a bubbly, happiness that I quite enjoy. I would pick a good brunch with a handful mimosas over staying out…
2015 lessons
Goodbye 2015, hello 2016! 2015 brought another year of healthy scans, trips with Tony, best friends’ weddings, & so much more. As always, I try to reflect and learn something each year; mission accomplished in 2015. Looking back at this post, 2015 was for kaylee. It was to get in the best shape as possible,…

kaylee + ace day 2015
Today is a holiday. It is the second year celebrating Kaylee and Ace Day. You can find the origins of the holiday here. Today was spent doing things we both love: a lazy morning, a dog park visit, new toy purchase, snuggling, treats [on both of our accounts], more snuggling, walking with friends, cuddling, &…
