Small Changes that Have Made a Big Difference

I was recently listening to The Lazy Genius Podcast, which is a great resource for making life easier. She emphasizes being a “genius about the things that matter, and lazy about the things that don’t”, which is a nice departure from feeling like you need to be crushing it in all the things. Her latest…… Continue reading Small Changes that Have Made a Big Difference

Three Thoughts on Thursday

Happy Thursday, friends! We’re almost to the end of another week! We had a short week with a school holiday for MLK Jr. Day this week, so it’s felt like this week has flown by.

Basketball… We’re Playing Basketball

Our school district runs a basketball league from mid January- mid February for kindergarten through sixth grade. Kindergarten is co-ed, and is for learning the fundamentals. They play half court four-on-four with the goal as low…… Continue reading Basketball… We’re Playing Basketball

3 Thoughts on Thursday

Happy Thursday, friends! Here’s your three random thoughts for today! ONE We bought the kids several board and card games for Christmas to take to the new ranch cabin. Some early favorites have been Candyland, Chutes and Ladders, and Mexican Train/ Chickenfoot.

Ins and Outs- 2024

We have never been super serious resolution people. We typically have some goals we’d like to accomplish, and it’s typically the usual suspects- eat healthier, exercise more, watch less TV, etc. I’ve noticed this year that it is trending to not share resolutions, but rather “ins” and “outs”. As in fill-in-the-blank is “in”, and fill-in-the-blank…… Continue reading Ins and Outs- 2024

Red Bank Recap- 12.29.23

If this were an episode of “Friends”, it would be called The One with All the Christmases because all we’ve done this week is Christmas it seems! And hang out at the ranch, of course 😉 Steven had last Friday off, so we took Crawfish out to play at the new ranch. We had time…… Continue reading Red Bank Recap- 12.29.23

Red Bank Recap- 12.22.23

We are in the home stretch before Christmas! I feel like I thought I had a ton of time, and then looked up some time last week and realized I was less than two weeks out. Then the rush ensued!

Red Bank Recap- 12.15.23

It’s been a busier than usual and fun week around here! Steven has been on inpatient call this week, but we’ve still packed in plenty of holiday and regular activities.

Red Bank Recap {November}

It feels like with each passing year that it gets busier and busier as the year winds down. Holidays, parties, activities, dress up days, etc., and November is basically December Jr when it comes to remembering and doing all the things! But, I will say, I really love the holiday time of year, so even…… Continue reading Red Bank Recap {November}
