Next week marks week 100 since I began to track these Covid weeks. One hundred. While many of you may be a few weeks behind me since we were the ground zero outbreak for the United States here in Kirkland Washington, your week one hundred is close at hand. Regardless of how much we want…
It was mid fifties and sunny yesterday (Thursday), which was absolutely lovely. After how cold and snowy the year began, it felt like spring, and we were able to spend much of the day outside. At the same time, things feel pretty dang heavy. It appears that our area has peaked for Omicron, with the…
Do do do it’s 2022. Set to whatever music you like. Welcome to year three of the 2020s, folks! Three more weeks, and I’ve been tracking these Covid Fridays for 100 weeks. Hard to believe. Feels like forever and no time at all since our pre-covid days. Hope you are all staying safe and pandemic…
(Awkward cutoff of our names at the bottom because I’m the only one in the fam with my first name plastered all over the internet 😉) Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! We’re past the solstice, so for those of us in the northern hemisphere, the light is returning, and I am sure glad for it.…
Happy birthday week to me! I “leveled up” to age 34 on Monday and had a fabulous day. I know not everyone loves getting older, but I adore my birthday and the privilege and luck of getting to see another year on this earth. Though I have to say, it’s hard to believe it was…
T minus twelve days until the days start getting longer again. Not that I’m counting or anything… Okay, fine. Totally counting. It is so dang dark this time of year and I’m over it. But my birthday is on Monday and I’m taking the day off of work to be selfish with the day just…
Monday we took the kiddo in for his second Covid shot. Due to staffing shortages, a lot of appointments locally have been cancelled, so I felt especially thankful that he kept his appointment. T-10 days until my birthday and two weeks after his second shot. Fully vaccinated on my birthday. With the Omicron news flying…
Hey there, lovelies! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend. I realized on Saturday that I had skipped my Frugal Five post for the week, entirely unintentionally. We did have an absolutely lovely Thanksgiving though, and we only bought food on Black Friday - there was really nothing on sale that we needed…
We took some time off for our anniversary and spent three nights in a canvas wall tent in the woods on an off grid farm. We're now debating the canvas wall tent (with wood fired stove) as an alternative to a travel trailer, so we specifically stayed in one with that in mind. Even better,…
And like that, we've made it to a dozen years of marriage. The last almost two have certainly been interesting, and travel has been a lot closer to home, but there has still been some good adventuring that's happened along the way. Perhaps this next year will include more far flung travel? 2021, while no…
