2020: A Recap

Published Dec 31, 2020

Been a quiet couple years here on KSF, huh? Not even annual recaps! Spoiler alert, I had another baby in that time lol but that’s another post. Let’s just talk about the dumpster fire that was 2020 here. Ok actually my year wasn’t all that terrible besides us all being a little stir crazy.

  • Went to Disneyland before all the COVID madness happened, a perfectly timed trip! We all had a great time, especially Miles. It was also great to see some of my family while I was there!
  • Got to spend a little time visiting the library with the kids
  • I started preparing to launch a photography business
  • COVID happened.
  • Pretty much everything got put on hold: no more library, very few friends, definitely no photography business
  • Learned a lot about running a business in preparation fro when I do get to launch
  • Did a LOT of sewing and started knitting again
  • Had my gallbladder removed, still recovering since that was just a few days ago.

That’s about it. Here’s hoping that next year things get back under control and that life can get back to semi-normal. The kids really miss seeing people and going places, but they’re handling it decently.

2021: please don’t suck too much, thanks.

I’m not planning on a specific 2021 Goals post because well, I don’t have it in my to have all my plans be ruined again haha, so I’ll just toss it in here; I’m making another attempt at a 365 Project so I’ll probably do some photo posts here with those, maybe once a month. Or not cause we know how this blog goes… meh. If you want to follow in more real time I’ll be posting on Instagram.

Ok, I’m out! Happy New Year everybody.

2017: A Recap

Published Dec 31, 2017

As the year comes to an end, I once again take a moment to pause and reflect. I have to say, 2017 was a pretty awesome year for me. 

  • Bought a house! It’s a pretty cool house, I like it. 

  • Moved into said house and barely had to do any work because I was pregnant ;) 

  • Set up an amazing craft room! It’s very unorganized right now but it’s so nice having my machines set up and having a dedicated cutting and pressing table.

  • Set up an adorable space themed nursery for the baby.

  • Had fun parties at our new house. Birthday parties, baby shower, just because dinners, etc. 

  • Had a baby! Delivery didn’t go quite how I wanted, but Baby Boy was born healthy and we had no scares so I am still calling it a huge success. 

  • So many baby milestones in just 4 and a half months. It’s been so fun to watch him learn new things, and I love all the firsts!

  • Baby giggles. 

  • Watching Kevin be a Dad. He loves his boy <3 

This will be a tough year to top!

Did I Mention I’m Having a Baby?

Published Jun 1, 2017

Man. Every time something exciting happens, I think for sure it’s the nudge I need to come back and start blogging again. Guess what happens….

When I got engaged, I figured planning a wedding would give me tons of blogging fodder. It actually did, but I was so exhausted planning it that I didn’t have the energy to blog besides the one post I made! The wedding was amazing though, I promise I’ll make a post about it soon, share the video and a few photos.

When we bought a house (… oh I guess I didn’t mention that either), I suppose I could have made a post about the buying process, but honestly it’s kind of boring. Our house is cute though! And Toby is absolutely loving his new yard. Maybe I’ll post about it when we have our housewarming party… in July… hah.

So now, we’re having a baby! Exciting right? Want to guess how far along I am based on how many posts I’ve made? Nooo I’m not going to pop tomorrow haha, but I am in the third trimester. Baby Boy is due mid-August, Kevin and I are very excited! Here’s what the little guy looked like at our 20 week anatomy scan.

I’m not sure what all I’d have posted about so far. First trimester was a blur of exhaustion and nasty morning sickness. Second trimester got slightly better. I’m feeling surprisingly good now at the start of the third, but I’m sure comfort-wise it’s going to start going downhill any time! I already ache all the time, but it’s manageable.

So since clearly being pregnant wasn’t enough to make me blog… we’ll see what happens when kiddo is born. Maybe I’ll become a Mommy Blogger hahahaha. Probably not.

2016: A Plan

Published Jan 2, 2016

I’m not saying these things are New Year’s Resolutions persay, but there is something about the start of the year that makes for a good time to sit down and evaluate what you want to get done. I don’t buy into that “New Year, New Me” thing so much (though I’m pretty sure I did use that hashtag last year haha), but I do think that having a plan is good.

So, here are some things that I’m hoping to accomplish in 2016!

Personal:

– Plan a successful, fun, and reasonably priced* wedding. I’ve got the venue and photographer booked so I’m on the right track. We’re a little crazy and are getting married in September.

– Lose 20lb to look awesome in my wedding dress and feel good and all the other benefits of losing some extra weight. I also want to start doing yoga.

– Spend more time reading.

– Learn German, and brush up on my Spanish.

– Get a puppy (maybe haha).

Work:

– Expand my business. I haven’t decided what direction I want to go yet, but I want to start doing either some freelance web design, or photography. I also plan to start selling a small quantity of handbags.

– Catch up on my business taxes. I’d like to actually have the funds in January for them, not in April. I’m tired of always trying to keep up and would love to actually be ahead of the game.

I think that’s pretty much it! I think 2016 is going to be pretty good and I look forward to seeing what it brings.
