Random Updates

Well, this thing has totally gotten away from me.  Life just got busy and weird and I just haven't had time or been into it.  I was on pace to beat my record for number of posts in a year, too, and now I probably won't.

So just some random updates.  I am down 14.4 pounds, mostly just calorie restriction, nothing else.  Not really doing the Intermittent Fasting anymore, although I keep toying with the idea of getting back to it, but whatever I'm doing now is working great so if it ain't broke...why drink black coffee (before 10 or 11 am) if I don't really have to?

I think I already mentioned this, but the girls are finally back in in-person school, two days a week.  Tuesdays and Fridays.  I'm loving being able to work in peace those two days.  I sure hope they return full time in the fall.

The other day I had to stop my car in the street to let this mother duck and her ducklings cross.  So cute.


I have so much catching up to do.  I still need to post about all our home improvements, and I want to document a typical remote learning day before they are no longer.  Hopefully I'll get my motivation back soon.

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer!  5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago).  It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old.  I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

The Girls' Room

So it's kids' rooms this week at Kelly's Korner Home Tours.  Unfortunately, we haven't finished the girls' room make-over.  We recently transitioned from toddler beds to twins.  I would have loved to get bunk beds to save space, but the twin beds were given to us by friends of Paul's parents so we're making do.  They were wood-colored (oak, maybe?) so we painted them white.  It was challenging to figure out how to arrange their furniture because of the alcove/nook thingie on one side.  I couldn't do the obvious two beds perpedicular to the wall with a nightstand in between configuration, so I had to compromise. There are lots of finishing touches still to be done.  We need to replace their dresser, get a nightstand, put up a shelf (ledge) or two and some wall art, and curtains.  We're also going to paint.  I've had my heart set on purple for a long time, which is why I chose this bedding with some purple but not too much, but now...
