life right now [june]

Jun 25, 2025


currently…

getting over jetlag after nearly a month in Ireland! I keep waking up at 4am and can’t fall back asleep, but it’s slowly getting better.

ordering photo books from our trip. Each kid took their own photos and designed their own pages in Canva! We lived at my college friend’s cottage, and my husband worked full-time, so it was a different pace of travel. It was fun to settle into a routine with things like walking to the grocer and butcher each day, going to the local playground every afternoon, etc.

catching up on my Flecks of Gold journal. Since suitcase space was at a premium for this long trip, I left the journal at home and instead wrote daily entries in my Notes app on my phone. Now I’m transferring those over to the journal.

moving out of our house. We were lucky to sell our house while we were away and now we have to pack and move quickly!

feeling sick. Colin caught a cold at the end of our Ireland trip and then we all got it… which has made packing and moving even harder. A summer cold is no fun!

reading The Bright Years on my kindle.

listening to The Names on audiobook. Lots of audiobook time happening with all this packing!

meeting with a contractor to get started on the project that will be Miss Freddy’s office! We’re converting a gym space in the basement into my office, with a scanning room connected to it. Hopefully it moves quickly so I can move in before the busy fall season of client work!

setting up this desk in our bedroom for now. After having a built-in desk for so many years, I’m excited about the option to lift into a standing desk. I’ll likely get a walking pad in the future.

looking forward to being settled in our new space and enjoying our backyard + community pool this summer!
