Spring is
in the air – finally!

Life, (Eve's version)

The weather is changing, and we are starting to do more “stuff”. Zac’s soccer match was cancelled, which freed up his Saturday morning for a tennis match against his uncle. I think this is the first real game he’s played outside of his weekly squad meet and 1-on-1 coaching. He loved it, and he was surprisingly good. Could have something to do with his new racquet which is more suitable to his style than the previous one. (Funny side story: Zac told me in a very serious “I’ve thought about this” voice that you need to be a top 100 tennis player worldwide if you hope to make any money out of it. I jokingly asked him if that was his plan to which he solemnly replied “Think so”. He wasn’t joking. Oh, to have the confidence of youth! Between his tennis aspirations and YouTuber dreams, this kid might not need a college fund?)

Took the kids out for a scoop of the best ice cream in town, at Aroma. Sorry, no photos. But it was Strawberry Cream for him, and Turkish Delight for her. Then came home and made real strawberries and cream. I like mine blitzed in the NutriBullet, with lots of cream and lots of sugar. I threw in some fresh blueberries, and also ate them by the handful.

Spent the afternoon fixing up this blog, and went down Twitter rabbit holes.

I have a newsletter!
It lands in your inbox on Saturdays, and is filled with fun links, stories, book and movie recommendations, my wild thoughts, a bit of pop psychology, a bit of inspo lifestyle, and a whole lot of “so this is midlife!” kind of stuff :-)

I am keeping myself accountable to my 2025 vision, and am doing a monthly recap. January feels like a lifetime away, but it’s only been a week! It also feels like a lot happened in Jan. New Years Day was spent recuperating from an amazing New Years Eve party, which

Well, hello 2025!

February 7, 2025

I am very excited for 2025! I wrote about my 2024 recap, and honestly…it was all positive. (I’m sure I had lots of negative things happen in 2024, but none seem to have made a lasting impression). So now, I need to harness that positivity, and skate into 2025. Of

Review of 2024

February 4, 2025

Yes, I know it’s February, and most people review their year in first weeks of January, but that has never really worked for me. I need the year to end properly, then I need to decompress, and then I need to reflect. That takes time, so February seems apt. And

Rollercoasting through life

Welcome to Day 3 of 100 Day Writing Challenge. A hill I will die on: life is designed to be a rollercoaster. It’s literally unavoidable that it will be a cycle of ups and downs. Some downs can be traumatic (unexpected death of a loved one) or much less extreme

Lost dogs, scary movies and photography

October 31, 2024

Welcome to Day 3 of the 100 Day Challenge, and happy Halloween! I fell asleep watching Beetlejuice Beetlejuice last night, but caught up this evening. I didn’t fall asleep because the movie was bad, but because I was exhausted. It has been a strange week, where I have been busy,
