this week #68
Hello! Isn’t August a weird month? So many kids are already back to school, the weather fluctuates from horrendous to nice-ish every other week, summer feels like it is drawing on for so long but I also don’t want it to slip away… It’s a complex month! I have to admit that I finally feel… Continue reading

goodbye, July!
You guys, it’s August. Can you even believe it?! I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. As previously mentioned, this summer has been chockful of travel and adventures and fun (and bouts of illness), so it has sped by in all the best ways. Fortunately, I still don’t feel myself urging fall to… Continue reading

this week #67
Hello from a very smokey Arlington! Wildfire smoke from Canada has descended onto our area and it is horrific outside. Last time I checked, the AQI was over 230. I could tell it’d be bad from the moment I opened our shutters this morning and the light wasn’t quite right. Nonetheless, I’ve had a pretty… Continue reading

West Virginia Weekend
Another summer weekend away from home! I am loving it. This season has been jam-packed with all kinds of travel and activities. I’m not complaining! This weekend’s edition was a slightly spontaneous trip to (my favorite place) West Virginia. A few weeks back, Derek texted us asking if we all wanted to go to West… Continue reading

Adult Summer Camp
I have sooo many photos to share with y’all from my awesome vacation to Arkansas with Sabrina. Full stop: it was adult summer camp. I arrived in Bentonville on Thursday night and each day basically went like this: It was glorious! Plus, I changed my flight home to road trip back to OKC with Sabrina,… Continue reading

Hi! It’s been a minute. I finally started feeling better after two weeks of illness, and then I hit the ground running. At the same time, Patrick started feeling sick a solid 10 days after I would’ve initially infected him. Sleep was not pretty last week. Patrick was coughing up a storm and Alaska was… Continue reading

Hello! I’m going to complain right from the jump. Is that okay with you? I am sick and have been sick for over 9 days now! I flew to San Diego last Monday for a work trip and had a light cough by Monday evening. After a rough few days, I was sure I’d start… Continue reading

this week #64
Happy Friday! I hope you’ve been having a wonderful day. It was a weird week over here at Casa Nicolini Mannon. Our sweet dog Alaska had a series of really hard days and we were very concerned. We took her to the vet on Wednesday and she seems to be doing better, but is generally… Continue reading

In my cycling era…
Remember when I said I was going to start riding more and maybe even bike commute to work? Well, I’m doing it! Way, way earlier this year (or maybe even in December), I registered for a gravel grinder at the end of June. I chose the short course, which is only 23.8 miles, but it… Continue reading

small joys of the month
The last six weeks have been busy, busy, busy. I’ve been traveling for four of the last five weekends. We’ve had guests and Patrick was racing MMT. Groceries have been slim and I’ve generally gotten a little less sleep than I’d love. BUT! Life has been amazing. I cannot complain one bit. In fact, there… Continue reading
