At Home Is it Friday already? Well, I'm not sure where, exactly, the week has gone, but I'm glad it's a three day weekend. Even if I'm up to my knees preparing for the summer and our vacation. I did so much laundry this week to wash a ton of new clothes we've gotten for … Continue reading The Lily Cafe Weekly Highlights – May 26, 2023
At Home This past week has actually been quite uninteresting. We're starting to get ready for summer vacation and our first family vacation ever in July, so lots of prep work (mostly buying clothes) has been going on. My son isn't really interested in buying clothes, but my daughter is in rainbow unicorn heaven. Her … Continue reading The Lily Cafe Weekly Highlights – May 19, 2023
At Home Where the last couple of weeks were full of errands and other not fun things (with a few fun things mixed in, of course), this past week has kind of felt like a massive social call. We spent Saturday at Disneyland with another family, which could have gone horribly wrong, but ended up … Continue reading The Lily Cafe Weekly Highlights – May 12, 2023
At Home I thought last week was a bit nutty, but turns out even that could be beat. I have both been more absent from this blog than I had planned and literally absent from my home as nearly every day has had errands that needed to be run. And the one day that didn't? … Continue reading The Lily Cafe Weekly Highlights – May 5, 2023
At Home For so many reasons, I'm glad it's Friday. It's been a very long week, though much of it has been for planning for stuff going on next week. I like planning, but this has felt a little like overkill with everything that's been going on. I had meant to start responding to comments, … Continue reading The Lily Cafe Weekly Highlights – April 28, 2023
At Home A couple weeks ago I ordered and received a couple of books. One was Mystery of the Golden Shells by Jennifer M. Zeiger. My kids really enjoy her choose-your-own-adventure books, so of course I had to get this one for them. My son saw it and immediately walked off with it, the first … Continue reading The Lily Cafe Weekly Highlights
Hi, and welcome back to the Cafe! Let's Catch Up a Bit Well, one week off from blogging was, honestly, not long enough. Mostly because I spent almost the entire time dealing with side effects from my COVID booster. On the plus side, the kids got to spend a lot more time playing with their … Continue reading Upcoming at The Lily Cafe #13
It's been a long time since I've written a personal kind of post like this, but, with my kids at school, my brain has finally started feeling less like mushy Swiss cheese. I don't yet have clarity about book related posts (having enough trouble with reviews at the moment so let's not contemplate how far … Continue reading It’s an AC Kind of Weekend
Hi, and welcome back to the Cafe! Let's Catch Up a Bit After a badly needed "vacation" for the first time in 8 years, I think I'm ready to get this blog to what it was before the pandemic started. Though, of course, I also plan on spending some of those school hours cleaning, running … Continue reading Upcoming at The Lily Cafe #12
Hi, and welcome back to the Cafe! Two weeks off seemed like both a lot of time and not enough, but I've got a bunch of changes coming up that I'm excited for. At least, I think it'll better help me manage everything going on at home right now and into August when my kids … Continue reading Upcoming at The Lily Cafe #11
