Happy 2016!
It’s the first Saturday of the year and the perfect time to catch-up over coffee. I’m joining Coco, Lynda and Deborah -grab a big mug of your fave hot beverage and let’s catch up for a bit.
If we were having coffee together, I’d ask you what you did to ring in the new year? We had a great family night including our traditional new year’s eve fondue dinner, Lego building, Mario Kart battles and watching the bowl games. The boys had no trouble making it till midnight…I wasn’t so sure I would…but I did see the ball drop.
If we were having coffee together, I’d tell you that we have been making the most of this school break! We saw Star Wars (loved it!!), made it to the Nutcracker and my youngest son & his hockey team were invited back to skate at a Bruins game again! It’s been a good mix of fun things to do and just hanging out – I think we’re all feeling re-charged.
If we were having coffee together, I’d tell you that we had our first blast of frigid weather here, including some sleet. Icy roads meant my first trip to the gym in months – let’s just say I have not missed the treadmill.
If we were having coffee together, I’d tell you that I’m struggling a bit with my race calendar for this year. As I start to pencil in all of the boys sports commitments, J’s lacrosse schedule, plus the races we both want to run, there are conflicts everywhere! Not sure how this will all shake out yet.
If we were having coffee together, I’d tell you that I wish I could chat for longer, but I’ve got to fill my travel mug and head to the arena for my son’s hockey game.
So what would you tell me over coffee? Have you figured out your race calendar yet?
Ah the life of a lax and hockey mom! We are gearing up for lax practice to start this week too. It’s a little easier in HS bc they just stay there at school. Hope we end up at some of the same races this year. Thanks for joining us for coffee!

I hope we hit some of the same races too – it would be nice to finally meet in person 🙂
Yes, those sports can take over your weekends – and your weeknights! Hopefully you can fit in a few races around their schedules, Sounds like a great New Year’s Eve. I had some coffee mid-afternoon to make sure I was awake, but I was ready for bed by 12:30.

Hopefully I can get a couple of races in this spring – just may have to stay local. Thank goodness grandparents can help with coverage some of the time!
Happy New Year Michelle. I have not even started my race calendar yet. We saw Star Wars twice already! We own all 6 of the first movies and watched them at home before heading to see the new one. We are nuts about Star Wars. Enjoy your weekend and thank you for coffee. 🙂
We did the same thing before we went to see Force Awakens. It was fun to watch the whole story again. Happy new year!
Happy new year! I have set my spring running (racing, probably not…) calendar and will be pacing in 3 half marathons and running my first full! Weekends are always busy…
Sounds like you’ve got a busy calendar already! And how fun to be a pacer. Good luck with your first marathon!!
I miss those family game nights! I’m so melancholy this time of year. What can I say? Having teens is tough on the mom…

I know I’m trying to savor this for as long as I can – my oldest is 13 and I’m afraid he won’t think it’s cool in another year or so.
