As I look outside my window: Very clear. Thankfully the smoke from the Canadian wildfires has moved out the area. It was super hazy the other day. Not to mention the terrible air quality that resulted from the fires.
Right now I am: Rushing out the door to get to a friend’s house for a playdate. It was supposed to be the coop book club meeting, but apparently we are the only ones that read it. So we switched the event to a playdate. I’m thinking about maybe taking the kids out to brunch afterward…
On my bedside table: The Secret Service of Tea and Treason by India Holton; Peter Nimble by Jonathan Auxier
On my tv this week: We’ve been randomly watching episodes of our current selections, but nothing really jumped out at me this past week.
Listening to: I was on YouTube looking up a specific music video which led me down a rabbit hole of lots of other music. I have my Music Monday selections lined up for the entire rest of the summer already. I found some new music and rediscovered some older music.

Monday - Tuscan Kale and White Bean Soup
Tuesday - Leftovers
Wednesday - Mississippi Pot Roast

Saturday - Avocado Bruschetta Chicken

On my to do list: I’ve got a list of things to do for the coop over the course of summer. Small tasks, but I’m scheduling them out to ease the stress. I also have random house tasks and such to take care of.

Monday - Home Day; Book Club
Tuesday - Gifford Farm Living History Field Trip; Book Club

What I am creating: Not any crafts this week, but I am making trivia and discussion questions for the retreat.
My simple pleasures: A quiet moment to think, unstructured time with friends, iced tea
Looking around the house: I completely cleaned out the coop bags and picked up the living room. Everything looks so much better now.
From the camera: Very sweaty and dirty kid after an exciting game of gaga ball.
