On my bedside table: Light Over London by Julia Kelly; Next Year in Havana by Chanel Cleeton

On my TV: We finished S1 of The Umbrella Academy and I can’t wait for S2. So good! We’re currently keeping up with Superstore and Veep. And we started S2 of Bounty Hunters and Happy. Interesting week of TV in our house.

Listening to: While weeding the yard yesterday, I started listening to Over My Dead Body S1 podcast. It’s an interesting murder mystery, but so far, not quite as good as Dr. Death (both from Wondery).

On the menu:

• Monday - Chicken Pad Thai Nachoes

• Tuesday - Harvati and Gouda Grilled Cheese

• Wednesday - Leftovers

• Thursday - Ranch Cheddar Chicken

• Friday - Kielbasa Skillet

• Saturday - Lemon Butter Garlic Shrimp

• Sunday - ???

On my to do list: I need to do some research for summer activities and traveling activities. And I would like to start planning out our summer weeks (got the calendars ready to go, just need to fill in).

Happening this week: After the crazy that was last week, this upcoming week is looking nice and light. Arthur has school (the usual) and a birthday party, Quentin has Tinkergarten, I have book club, and both boys have Romp n Roll and a park date.

What I am creating: Still plugging away at my the Project Life album, Memory Planner album, and retiring product cards. I hope to start our traveler’s notebook summer bucket list this week. I have some ideas of how to lay it out.

My simple pleasures: Summer Strawberry Cake! (recipe from Smitten Kitchen)

What I’m planning: All the summer stuff!

Looking around the house: We spent time yesterday working on the yard. I weeded and tidied the borders while J mowed. Quentin and I planted his wildflower garden packet from Tinkergarten. There are some spots around the yard that I might plant some small flowers… Still thinking about placement.

Looking forward to: Can’t wait for book club on Monday night. Last month my night was cut short so I’m looking forward to having a relaxing evening this month.

From the camera: Arthur went to Kindergarten Round Up at his new school on Friday! So much fun!
