Joan has been at junior chef camp all week, and yesterday was her soirée, where families come to taste what they’ve been working on all week. I’ll insert some photos later. After that Brandon took the kids to get gas and wash the car so I could pack. My energy level was really low yesterday around dinner time, even though it had been high all week. Maybe I needed more water? Either way from dinner…

We've been having pizza and a movie for dinner on Thursday nights for over 6 years and we all love it! Here's some evidence I could find from 2024 (when Dory was 2 and Joan was 6 -- I need to take more pictures!) We prefer to make it, but of course we order sometimes when life is super busy. I've tried a lot of recipes (including using a bread machine, which i really liked, too!). Just tried this…
Update the girls' room -- Joan is really wanting her own room, but my husband is worried about our new roof (still smells off-gassy on the 3rd floor) and it's really great to have them both on the 2nd floor for bedtime near our main bathroom. So instead, I want to get them some space of their own within their shared room. Little free library -- Build a little free library for our front with the…
The other day Joan told me that she misses school a little, but she LOVES summer. Because she gets to spend so much time with her family. 🥹 Family dinner at the pool! Happy to be with dad again after a week away.
Today was such a great summer weekend day! The weather was beautiful and I got to take an early walk by myself to the coffee shop. I decided to take the kids bike riding and then to the pool for the afternoon. Brandon helped us get the bikes ready and tires pumped up, but discovered that Joan had a flat tire. Like, completely flat. We checked for patch supplies at home, but no dice. So the girls…
Yesterday was pretty great on the whole. I did some reading and planning, took a long walk, and got some good news about the kids' school and celebrated that. I made a big batch of chicken thighs, roasted broccoli, and hardboiled eggs (prepping protein really is the secret!). Then I rescheduled some meetings so I could go to my daughters art showcase at school. After which we went to the pool! The…
Back again for my daily blog post. Apparently this is what has been missing from my life. I love writing but am mandated to do so much of it at work that I sort of lost interest in journaling for myself. I also love paper, so I thought I preferred paper journals, but it's actually been so wonderful to just type my thoughts as they come. Also so helpful in processing my days. Yesterday went fairly…
