When I checked in with you on Monday, I left with the hope that the kids and dog would be amenable to hiding out under the air conditioner this week given the forecast. I'm here to share that the answer to that question was a big, fat NO. We've spent so much time outside and... Continue Reading →
Late Summer | Early August
Isn't there something amazing about late summer? YES - I am ready for this torture to end and YES - look at that light! It's been a while since I've been on a walk but I took one late in the day yesterday. It was a good choice for many reasons, one of which was... Continue Reading →
It’s Still August
Hello, there. I know this is the second Friday in August, but it feels so strange. On one hand, I can't believe that it's already the second week of August. On the other, I am so ready for August to be over. August is my least favorite month: it just seems to drag for me,... Continue Reading →
Hello August!
We are creeping closer to Fall, however slowly. Today's post will be a rush job yet again, but I am trying to be a consistent blogger and that means breaking the ice in messy ways. I'm going to keep it simple again and focus on home stuff, knitting, and reading. Maybe there's a nifty acronym... Continue Reading →
Oo-De-Lally, Oo-De-Lally, Golly What a Summer
It's been two months and I have no idea how to write this update! There's just so much to share and -- at the same time -- nothing really new around here. We've had some stunning days that have allowed us to spend big chunks of time outside and we've had even more stifling days... Continue Reading →
Unraveled Wednesday | Week 8 of 2025
It's Wednesday again! Thank you all for your responses on Friday about Matthew's car accident. It's something neither of us has ever experienced so we've been learning a lot about the whole process. The latest news is that Matthew was able to come home with a new (to us) vehicle yesterday so we have two... Continue Reading →
On Never Reaching the Trouble-Free Phase
Happy Friday, friends! The wind is blowing hard outside right now as we prepare for another round of storms this weekend. But the sky is bright blue and we're about to head out for a trip to Sam's Club despite the wind and I wanted to check in before I sign off for the weekend.... Continue Reading →
Unraveled Wednesday | Week 7 of 2025
Hello! I am a little late today and am behind in all sorts of ways. Thank you for all of the well wishes last week. I am finally starting to feel more like myself this morning and am hoping to find my rhythm again, which is why I'm trying to make sure I don't fall... Continue Reading →
Unraveled Wednesday | Week 6 of 2025
Hello! Thank you for all of the well wishes on Monday. I'm still feeling pretty rotten and am hoping to get a little extra time in bed later today. I develop intense coughing anytime I get sick (no need to gross you out with those details), which makes sleep and rest difficult. So any attempt... Continue Reading →
Unraveled Wednesday | Week 5 of 2025
Well, hello! Once again, I'm finishing up this post on Tuesday night. Waking up for writing has been difficult for me lately and I don't want to leave anything to chance. I don't want to mess up this little Unraveled streak I've had! Today I'm linking up with Kat for Unraveled Wednesday, a weekly get-together... Continue Reading →
