do i remember? the 30 days of september?
it’s mid october as i sit to type this. i uploaded the pics awhile back. it all seems like a dream now. september was fast. and busy. a whirlwind. anna’s field hockey career was in full swing. she has absolutely loved the experience. and it was fun for me to have a little sports mom […]
july stuff. twentytwentyfive.
i’ll spare you a long intro. here’s the stuff that happened in july, between the cracks. firstly. i’ve lived in winston-salem for 20ish years now. and for the last six, i have driven past this lotus filled marshy area at least twice a day. i always say, “i should walk there someday” and then i […]
miscellany of may.
as it turns out. may was pretty busy with things that deserved their very own blog posts. so this one will be short and sweet. to kick things off, anna and i did a bit of strawberry picking. we lovelovelove local nc strawberries. i ate healthy. walked and lifted. 🙂 ok. so this part is […]
adventure by day. crafts by night.
during their stay in winston-salem, jenn and brandy came over several nights, and we participated in all manner of crafting, a favorite activity of the jackson and lidbom girls. more than once, we busted out the paints and glitter and stickers to make cool boxes and treasure chests and other random wooden things procured from […]
january of 2024
lets see here. apparently kicked off 2024 with a photoshoot with the christmas tree at derek’s parents house. i do not recall this happening, but the pics don’t lie. we took the kids to a carolina thunderbirds hockey game. it was fun. cold. but fun. the score was like 15-4 or some nonsense. we spent […]
a whole lot of november things.
in order to keep this post manageable, i had to write a lot of separate smaller posts about november happenings, but it’s still a big one. and even though as i write it, it’s only 12 days into december, all of these memories feel like they were months and months ago. so much stuff crammed […]
things that took place in october.
it’s fall! the favorite season around these parts. we are all settled into the routine of school. football season is in full swing. it’s cooling off (but it’s still north carolina, so sort of stupidly warm). and we are ready for the gauntlet of holidays. so, here’s how we spent our october…. first things first. […]
the remainder of july
before i begin this post, can we just take a minute to acknowledge that i am about to complete that task of getting this blog entirely caught up, 20 posts covering the past two months, just in time for derek and i to depart for an epic adventure (which will necessitate a plethora of new […]
a ridiculously long post about april ’23.
well. you would think a post about april would be super short, considering we spent the first week on spring break, and all of that was detailed in previous posts. but, alas, sometimes when there’s not much excitement going on, these miscellaneous monthly posts get a lot more attention. or so it is in this […]
