(I’m using my own January recap post as a template!) Books Read: 3 (plus 2/3 of one and the start of another). My favorite was Nicole’s novel, Inhale Exhale! It was light and readable but still tackled some meatier themes (aging, marriage, parenting teens).…

I’m not sure FFF means anything but I was delighted to note the alliteration. I hit Inbox Zero yesterday. It had been a while (maybe 3 weeks)! But the feeling of having all of my tasks captured in a logical/strategic manner is so worth…

We are now on day 4 of the trip and I have to say it’s been a pretty relaxing (chill) one so far — which is a good thing. We had planned to ski two days in the Poconos but certain kids were asking…

Debi Tirar Mas Fotos (as Bad Bunny has reminded us)! I don’t have enough from this trip so far, gotta get on that! But things have been great! We left early (like, left our house at 4:30) and everything was pretty seamless, except that…
