    A Tuesday post?! What?!! Yes, I did indeed miss posting last Friday. It was a busy week and I wanted to post my 2023 reading plans but I hadn’t made them yet. And I still haven’t but I want to follow through on my commitment to post so I’ll share reading plans another time and…

    Day in the Life- Jan 2023

    5:30am- My alarm scares me awake. I don’t want to be awake. I take off the arm/thumb braces I slept in last night and update my app with my overnight temperature. I also check some emails and fill out the RapidPass questionnaire for my blood donation before actually getting up at 6:15. I feed the…

    Fave 5- Apps

    It’s a late post this week as it’s been a busy week and Mr. McGoozle is preparing to take off to the wilds of Canada tomorrow. (Featured photo from skiing yesterday.) For today I thought I’d quickly share 5 apps that I personally find helpful and would recommend to others. Where possible I have used…

    Mediocre Poetry

    The end of 2021 brought the announcement of huge changes for our family and 2022 saw those changes actually take place. It’s been a lot to process and I recently composed these poems in an attempt to help me think through it all. Frozen Clarity A moment- brief, fleeting, past-The air riven from sky to…

    December Books Update

    This is going to be a boring-looking post. I know there’s a way to link book cover images but I’m not dealing with that today so you get lots of practice reading while learning about my reading. 🙂 There are some pretty graphs at the end. I use The Story Graph to track my reading.…

    Day in the Life- Dec 2022

    This was our first day trying to get back to our normal routine after a trip to Michigan to visit family for Mrs. McGoozle and the kids and a 12-day work trip for Mr. McGoozle. 7:00 am: Everyone woke up and gradually made their way downstairs to get ready for the day. The kids played…

    Welcome!

    Welcome to the inaugural post for the McGoozle Family blog. If you’re here shortly after this post is published, it probably means you got a Christmas letter from us and you know our real identities. Shhh! It’s not really a secret but posting under a pseudonym does provide a bit of protection for the kids…
