Honestly… what is going on lately?
I don’t really know where to fit in on the internet anymore.. personally, I would like to bring back OG Facebook? I miss when my feed was actually my friends. Food photos, life updates, relationship statuses, the kids, the pets, the ‘feeling’ excited 🤩. I would take 100 vague posts at this point!
I don’t want 47 suggested videos, ads and True Crime (have my podcasts for that!). I want to know what someone from high school had for supper!
I’m hoping everyday that someone creates a social media platform for us elder millennials who just want their internet boring bits back.
Outside of my identity crisis with social media, life has been… BUSY.
The kids are at that age where parenting is a full-contact sport. It’s not just busy from 9–7 anymore.
They’re up when I’m up, awake when I’m awake, and constantly needing something in between. The questions, homework, sports, activities, parties, schedules, snacks, emotional support, opinions, requests… it is nonstop from morning until night.
I’m questioning my parenting way and I think I’ve made myself too available…..😂
But at the same time I’m hyper aware of how quickly it’s slipping by so I’m wanting to be available… it’s just been busy, my brain feels a little mushy. 🫠
Exciting Stuff: I’m walking the Blue Nose Marathon in just over a week and WOW do I feel unprepared. Between the endless rain this spring and life moving at lightning speed, my training did not go the way I imagined. I’m disappointed a little, if I’m being honest, but I’m also trying to remind myself that some times it’s ok to do the minimum aka surviving and show up anyway.
And we will show up.
The best part of Blue Nose weekend is that it’s become such a family thing for us. The kids are running their races, I’m doing the 5K, Nick’s running too, and honestly the atmosphere is one of my favourites. We may even have a special guest joining the mascot run… stay tuned, it’s in the works! 😂
Meanwhile, PTO life is in full swing because our school Spring Fling/Family Fun Day is coming up on May 30 and we are BUSY.
We’re currently looking for sponsors, volunteers, and donations 🙏
If you’re a local business and want to get involved, we’d truly love to chat. Whether it’s sponsoring a game, volunteering with your team, donating prizes, or helping with our raffle baskets, every little bit helps make these events so memorable for the students and families.
Apparently the hottest elementary school currency this year is NeeDohs? I know nothing about them because the kids haven’t mentioned them so I haven’t mentioned them.. trying to ride out the craze a bit lol
But if you happen to spot some in the wild, let me know because they would be great for fundraiser baskets!!
Anyway. That’s life lately.
It’s funny because I have 2 websites now.
Since 2014 I’ve been here at Hollyshousewifelife.blogspot.ca but then a couple of years ago I tried moving to Hollyshousewifelife.com because you know.. SEO stuff..
That one is still up and running as well but it’s not totally user friendly and honestly right here, it just feels like home 🥹
Will this continue? Blogging again. I don’t know, but it really does feel like home.
So… hey. What’s going on with you?
