It’s August and school starting mean football season at our house. Our 15 year plays football which means he dresses varsity and plays JV. Therefore, fall, school, and football has swooped in and pretty much destroyed my calendar and I assume many others. Believe me, I enjoy football season and look forward to watching myContinue reading “Do you have to attend every game?”

Back to School
In the past two weeks, many of us have gone back to school. For colleges, school starts tomorrow. It’s fun to see pictures on social media of families moving their kids to college and helping them set up their dorm rooms or apartments. A big change for many as they wave goodbye to their childContinue reading “Back to School”
To the State Fair
We are off and running to the Indiana State Fair today. We try to go each year and with football, school, work, life, etc. time is getting away from us. We are hoping for a cool and cloudy weather, low attendance and no traffic (wish us luck). My history with the State Fair goes backContinue reading “To the State Fair”
5k Run
Summer Goal: Run a 5k I have not ran a 5k in 10 years and even the 5k I ran 10 years ago, left me sore, unprepared, and exhausted. This summer/this year, I sat out with a number of goals that relate to my health and wellbeing and also our family and home. One ofContinue reading “5k Run”
Summer Goals 2022
Each summer I set out with a number of goals. Some are personal while others relate to our children/family as a whole. I am sure some people think I am crazy for even setting summer goals but I am a type-A person, routine, structured, highly self-motivated, and goal orientated. Goals help me grow as aContinue reading “Summer Goals 2022”
The Arizona Desert
A quick and great trip out west to Tucson which was amazing. We love Tucson and the resort we stay at, the landscape, the food, the sun, and the heat. Here is a short recap of our trip which started out with our flights being canceled out of O’Hare and we were 1 hour fromContinue reading “The Arizona Desert”
In Need of Spring
Maybe, I am too impatient, or I need to move somewhere warmer, but I am in need of spring. I’ve lost count of which winter relapse we are in or which fool’s spring (welcome to Indiana). I need green grass, leaves on trees, slightly warmer temperatures, sunshine, and flowers to bloom. I need spring. Don’tContinue reading “In Need of Spring”
French Lick
Like many others, we headed out of town over the weeklong break. Instead of heading way south, we drove 4 hours to southern Indiana to French Lick and this drive was long enough with a 1-year-old who does not want to be in a car seat. French Lick Resort is a family friend resort/hotel thatContinue reading “French Lick”
Spring Break and Midterm Blues
I am not sure who is more in a state of depression, the college students orfaculty (and all educators everywhere) but I would assume like most; we all need a break. A break from grades, a break from projects, a break from lectures, a break from administration tasks, a break from campus, a break fromContinue reading “Spring Break and Midterm Blues”
Today
Today, there is no blog post. But my hope is that you are enjoying the sunshine, some warmth, and spending time with family and friends or being productive or simply reading a great book. Most people seem uneasy with the War continuing, rising gas prices, increased food prices, well everything has gone up in costContinue reading “Today”
