freitag favorites + spring forward
My freitag favorites have really been piling up around here since I’ve been especially busy the last weeks between a week in Washington, D.C., for a conference and some sightseeing, as well as having lots of fun time with my parents back here hanging around town, touring the *must-see* Monet exhibit at Fondation Beyeler, stopping by the Vitra Haus (Reese loved the kid’s chairs), and spending a rainy day at the Thermalbad, as well as some not-so-fun days when Reese was down with a fever, nasty stomach bug, and then a cold. Now she’s on the mend, and the rest of us are finally getting over similar sicknesses, so weekend is looking up.
So, with March nearly over, I’ve accepted that we basically missed our opportunity for our favorite winter activities this year, and I’m moving on to spring (blossoms, allergies, etc.). We may lose an hour of sleep and be stuck with darker mornings for awhile longer, but at least I can tackle some spring cleaning.
Tomorrow, we’re hoping to get outside and visit the children’s zoo in Rapperswil after taking a quick tour of the daycare where Reese will go later this summer.
Enjoy my favorites, and I wish you all sunny, spring weekend . . .
My weekend plans are pretty similar to Reese’s this afternoon: cuddle up and read. I’m wishing we were looking forward to more snow, but I’ll be content with a walk through town, some good coffee with breakfast, and a cozy weekend with my sweet little family. I hope your plans are just as nice.
The freezing cold weather of the last few weeks is finally on its way out and for the first time in days my ears didn’t hurt on the walk to the train. I’d love it if we got some more snow, but I’m a little tired of just super cold gray days.
Just one more week until we’re off to California to start our holiday west coast tour! I’m so excited, especially because the Pacific Northwest has been having lots of winter weather so we’re looking forward to a white Christmas.
Yay, weekend! After this week’s crazy election/first cold of the season/rain, rain, rain, I’m happy to be home and cuddled under a blanket with no big plans for the weekend except time with my favorite girl. Martin is off to Ticino again for another round of training for coaches so it’s just Reese and me. We’ll have plenty of time for reading, maybe a little shopping, and hopefully I’ll even make progress planning our Thanksgiving menu while binge watching “Gilmore Girls” in preparation for the November 25th release of 
Since I only work three days a week (or 60% in Swiss employment terms), I feel like I have little room to complain about how busy I am. Still, work is extra busy right now as I’ve recently taken on a new role and responsibilities and so I have a renewed appreciation for weekend (and Sabbath) rest.
