As I look outside my window: It's dark. I'm writing this on Saturday night again.

Right now I am: Snuggling with Q and enjoying a gin and tonic while Arthur is upstairs getting his bath.

On my bedside table: A Symphony of Echoes by Jodi Taylor (Second book in the Chronicles of St. Marys. I had to request it from a library in San Diego!); Cress by Marissa Meyer; The Girl with All the Gifts by M.R. Carey

On my tv this week: J and I watched the first episode of Legion (so trippy!) and multiple episodes of Emerald City. I also snuck in the first two episodes of S4 of The 100.

Listening to: Catching up on my podcasts specifically Here to Make Friends (about The Bachelor) and One Bad Mother.

On the menu for this week:

• Monday - Pepperoni Pizza Casserole
• Tuesday - Potato Bacon Casserole
• Wednesday - Avocado Bruschetta Chicken
• Thursday - Leftovers
• Friday - Kale Caesar Pasta Salad
• Saturday - ???
• Sunday - ???

Happening this week: Not much on our side. J will be gone all weekend at an offsite for work. I'm hosting crop day here while he's gone. Other than that, I've got nothing planned.

What I am creating: Trying to finish my Project Life spreads for 2016. Really itching to move into 2017. And starting on my February memory planner pages.

My simple pleasures: Elderflower tonic water (amazing!), the chance to sleep in a bit

Looking around the house: This living room is still a disaster... Life with a toddler.

From the camera: Last night I did something different for dinner. We had a variety of appetizers. A lot of work, but oh so good! We had chicken satay with peanut dipping sauce, honey dijon scallops with avocado sauce, crab wontons, bacon wrapped green beans, and raspberry brie tartlets. I had an elderflower gin and tonic with my dinner.
