What’s new with you?
How are you? This month has somehow both zoomed by and plodded along in equal measure. Something really exciting happened earlier this month when…
We took our first airplane ride with two children under the age of 4. And while there were certainly some moments of white knuckling and utter exhaustion and frustration, I think that overall the trip went much more smoothly than I had imagined. I did a lot of prep that I think helped, and I’ll try to write a post on it soon.
It was a lot of fun seeing my family and watching my children play with the same toys that I did as a kid at my Mammaw’s house. We had beautiful weather and lots of good company that made up for the lack of sleep!
Here are a few other things that have been on my mind lately, if you’d like to know:
We came home after our trip to discover that our refrigerator had broken. It was not quite the warm greeting we’d hoped for. After trying a few fixes, we went ahead and ordered a replacement. But that meant spending almost two weeks eating from the freezer and keeping our refrigerated items in a cooler. I’m so thankful to have our new fridge and to be getting back to some normalcy, including our weekly family movie night and Friday night pizza.
I recently finished You Could Make This Place Beautiful by Maggie Smith and I couldn’t read it fast enough, staying up late and waking up early to breeze through pages while my children were still sleeping. Some stories were so heart wrenching that they took my breath away, but I would say even so that it’s still a very hopeful book. I’ve put a few more of the author’s writings on hold through the library. | ThriftBooks link
Another great read that I recently finished is I’m Sorry I’m Late, I Didn’t Want to Come by Jessica Pan. As someone who is an extroverted introvert, I found a lot of the author’s antics relatable. It was an easy, pleasant read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. | ThriftBooks link
This one is for all of my busty pals: I think I’ve found my new breast friend. This bra is affordable, supportive, and — dare I say? — makes me feel kind of perky! I would recommend trying on in person if you can as I should be an XL according to the chart, but found that a L fit me best. I’m adding this item to cart so that I’ll be notified when it goes on sale and then I’ll stock up.
I enjoyed some solo time out of the house this morning and went to my favorite place: the library, of course. And I was dismayed when I arrived at my usual spot to find my favorite table missing. In its place was a seed library! My initial disappointment quickly turned into excitement as I took a peek at the seeds on offer. I wish I had known this last week before I bought seeds for our garden! Even so, I was able to find a different varieties of beets and chard. What a fun discovery! Public libraries truly are a gift.
I thought that this article was interesting.
This reel is eerily accurate. What’s the weather like where you’re at? Seen any blue birds lately?
Have a fantastic weekend!
