I’d like to call today our “soft start” to virtual learning. Claire (7th grade) is all set up with Canvas, so she’s good to go. Grace (1st grade) has a few assignments her teacher sent home with us from conferences, and her teacher will be sending a “check-in” question via SeeSaw to count as attendance. Read More

What’s Up Wednesday
What we’re eating this week: Well, we had our back to school brinner this week, and the rest of the week will be easy meals because it’s BUSY and it’s HOT: burgers & hot dogs, tacos, grilled chicken and pizza. What I’m reminiscing about: Back to school last year, when Covid-19 wasn’t even heard of Read More
Back to School Brinner
Andrea at Momfessionals shared her family’s back to school tradition of having brinner the night before, and I thought it was such a great idea.

Jessica & Michael

Monday
I wish it was still Friday…and that I was still getting ready for a wedding reception. Because for real, that was a dream come true and I was so sad when it was over. I’m still going through all the pictures, and will hopefully have a post up tomorrow! Until then, I’ll be drinking all Read More
Friday Favorites
Favorite picture: I love Max’s wind blown hair when he gets off the tube or jet ski. Favorite kid quote: Tessa: “When I’m done being 4, I’m going to be 60.” (I’m thinking maybe we should work on counting…) Favorite clothing item: I love these workout shorts. The waistband is so comfortable and the leg Read More
