What's Up Wednesday - 1/31/2024

 




Happy last day of January!  This seemed like the longest, darkest, coldest month.  I don't think Rochester experienced more than 5 days of sun the entire month. BRUTAL!  Here is to hoping February is much better!


Like last month, I am linking up with 2 of my favorite bloggers, Sheaffer and Shay  


1.  What have we been up to?

SPORTS!

We are doing travel baseball and travel soccer this year.  It's going to be a crazy spring and summer. This weekend we had our first soccer tournament. The club Derek plays for hosted it.  The boys played all day Saturday and the girls on Sunday.  The outcome of his 3 games wasn't what we wanted; but the boys have come along way.  Derek is very competitive, and he was getting very frustrated.  It was a good lesson in teamwork and being able to move on from experiences.  Always a teaching moment!





We also enjoyed Reading With The Amerks (AHL local hockey team) at the library.  They put this event on every year and it's wonderful.  The player reads a hockey related story, brings all the "gear" for a kiddo to try on, signed autographs, free kids' tickets to a game, and goodie bags!  I honestly thought the kids wouldn't want to go this year, but they were shocked that I would even think that they WOULDN'T want to.  So, off we went! I am so glad we did.





2.  What am I dreading?

More winter and planning summer camp schedules for the summer.... daunting task


3. What am I looking forward to?

Cruise that we have coming up!  Warm weather, wonderful food, entertainment and sunshine!  I can't wait!


4. What am I working on?

This weekend I need to focus on the yearbook for my daughter's school.  I can't get started and I know once I do, I will be fine... it is just that first step... log in.

Also, writing performance reviews for work. I have 24 to write and it is a daunting task. I made it into a game. I listed out how many I have to write each week to complete them all a week before they are do.  So far, I am "winning" at my imaginary game, and I am ahead of schedule.


Short and sweet this month!

Have a great week!  Don't forget to stop back on Monday for an inspirational quote to kick off the week!

What's Up Wednesday - 11/29/2023

In my quest to blog more frequently, I am linking up with Shay and Sheaffer on the last Wednesday of the month.  Make sure you check out their blogs as well. I have been reading both of them for years and they are 2 of my favorites.  I love reading blogs and to me it's an escape from reality.  It's like talking to a girlfriend and taking a sneak peek into their lives, closet and home.   I have always wanted to blog.  I typically wrote a post every 6 months so right now I am pretty horrible, and no one reads.  But, in 2024 my goal is consistency.  Stay tuned, maybe someday you will be saying my blog is your favorite.  That would be music to my ears! Here is what we have been up to lately. 1.  Thanksgiving  I sat on the couch at my brother and sister in laws after a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.  It came to me, if you host or cook Thanksgiving, you are truly an angel.  You welcome people into your homes, cook, entertain and ...

January Book Review

Welcome back to our monthly book review. This is the post where I share the books I read last month, rate them and share the jacket summary.  I hope you are able to find a few new books to add to your reading list! However.... This month was a struggle for me.  On average I read about 4-5 books a month.  If I don't like a book, or can't get into it, I stop reading.  Life is too short to read a book that doesn't hold my interest.  That happened more this month than ANY month, in the last 3 years where I have been tracking what I read.  I must have started and stopped 4 books. I just couldn't not get past the first couple chapters.  It was a struggle for sure.   This month, I read a series on Kindle Unlimited that I will only count as 1 book.   I'll explain more below.   The Christmas Retreat By Grace Meyers   My rating: 4/5 My comments:  This was a 6 book series.  The books were about 70 pages long....

Let's Look - WHAT'S IN OUR GROCERY CART

HI!  If you are popping over for the link party , welcome!  I am a corporate Mom of 2 kiddos. This space of internet is where I share tips and tricks on how I work on balancing both aspects of my life, while still making time for fun!  Feel free to bookmark so you can check back every Monday and Wednesday. This month our "Let's Look" is grocery carts.  I almost skipped this month because I HATE grocery shopping.  This is a role my husband has thankfully taken on and he enjoys it.  I go so infrequently that I never know where anything is in the store.  I am the person people hate because I have to stop and read the signs above the aisle to see where I am going.  It is usually more expensive if I do have to go.  Since I don't go often, when I do, I notice new flavors, new products, etc!  I always come home with more than I had on my list.  So, it's a vicious cycle!   I didn't skip this post because I wanted to share somethin...
