As I look outside my window: Windy and rainy. The leftovers from that typhoon have been rolling through all weekend.

Right now I am: Feeding a tiny baby and begging the toddler to eat his breakfast. Typical morning.

On my bedside table:  Manners and Mutiny by Gail Carriger; Rat Queens Vol. 3; The Obituary Society's Last Stand by Jessica Randall

On my tv this week: J and I are alternating Shield and Daredevil. We finally restarted Daredevil so we can eventually catch up, but some times it's just too intense and we switch over to Shield. I've been slowly working my way through rewatching Gilmore Girls. Almost finished with season one.

Listening to: It's been a Hamilton kind of week.

What I am creating: Working on catching up our Project Life albums. I haven't finished August or September yet. And I want to start Quentin's baby album. Thinking I will do his weekly for the first year and run it September-September to keep with the format of Arthur's albums.

My simple pleasures: Chocolate (just a bite or two each day); rainy cloudy days for snuggling and book reading; hazelnut coffee

Looking around the house: I need to restart my cleaning routine. We got off track due to baby coming, but it's been a few weeks. I need to get back in the swing of things.

From the camera: Got out the house this week and went to the library. Arthur picked out some good books.
