As I look outside my window: Back to sunny weather after that big storm last week. Loving the sunshine again.

Right now I am: Entertaining the baby with one hand, writing this blog post, and trying to enjoying my coffee. Mom multitasking as it's finest!

Thinking and pondering: How do we approach this summer and the changes in our family? I've got a lot to think about before I make any definite plans.

My simple pleasures: Brownies; sunshine (after being in gloomy Indiana for so long); fuzzy slippers; my bed

Looking around the house: I need tor restart a cleaning routine. Readjusting back to our home in California resulted in a changed in cleaning routine.

From the camera: Check out that little smirk!
