Well hello there!
Just popping my head in to say "hi"… and make sure the ol' blog is still standing. ;)
I didn't mean to take two weeks off but, life happens and then suddenly it's two weeks later.
Or something like that.
In my last post, we were "transitioning" into a new routine.
Well, I guess we're as transitioned as we'll ever be.
So I find myself with a 1st & 3rd grader.
They are busy.
2 soccer practices, 2 basketball practices, 2 karate classes, 1 lego engineering and 1 agility training…
Add school and homework, the random play date or birthday party, and that's pretty much our week.
Tack on my decision to handle the fundraising for the kids' school.
I've had my head buried in spreadsheets, verbiage and strategy since school began.
Cra-cra-crazy.
The last two weeks we've also had family and friends in town, visiting from other countries.
Hong Kong and Brazil to be exact.
So cool to have and maintain these long-distance relationships.
Busy and lucky.
And Thankful.
That's enough babbling. Here's what's going on this week--
The crazy week-long heatwave finally broke and today it finally feels like Fall. I can't put away the shorts and tees just yet, but at least I can start thinking about *flannel* *plaid* *boots* and *wool pants*.
10 steps to make your child smarter. Unlike most lists, this one is backed by science and actually makes sense.
Have you ever tried grilling lettuce? I love grilled cabbage… and this grilled romaine salad appeals to me.
A fun way to customize some dollar store balloons.
And here's where you think I've gone completely nuts… The cutest snail ever. We have one in our aquarium… Fun to watch and smarter than our fish.
I'm re-thinking our dining room and this chandelier has me intrigued.
I swear by argan oil and use it day and night to keep my sensitive skin happy and dewy soft. This alternative to the pricey josie maran version gets my stamp of approval… and I like the pump better than the medicine dropper.
Hope you're having a nice weekend!!!
