As I look outside my window: It’s oddly overcast but very hot today. Not fun at all.

Right now I am: Taking a break after running some errands and cleaning.

On my bedside table: Book Lovers by Emily Henry: Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

On my tv this week: Not much. We haven’t down much TV this past week. We did start Hawkeye with the kids, but I haven’t watched much at all.

Listening to: Giant mixes for the win! I’m been just setting my Apple Music to shuffle a lot lately. Plus I’m loving the new Harry Styles album and My Chemical Romance single.

On the menu for this week:

• Monday - Blackened Salmon

• Tuesday - Chicken Pad Thai Nachos

• Wednesday - Crab and Asparagus Soup

• Thursday - Salsa Chicken

• Friday - Sweet Potato and Quinoa Bowls

• Saturday - Leftovers

• Sunday - Ring of Fire Chicken

On my to do list: I’ve got a list of random tasks to accomplish this next week, and a lot of it is organizational tasks. Plus I need to work on the retreat and my Indiana trip. Lots of organization and planning.

Happening this week:

• Monday - Nothing

• Tuesday - Park and splash pad day

• Wednesday - Nature hike maybe

• Thursday - Lit Society

• Friday - Underwater Party at the Library

What I am creating: I want to take some time and work on the retreat name tags this week. I’m itching to get back to some of my crafts. I also want to work on my April and May Memory Planner pages.

My simple pleasures: Iced coffee, park time with friends, being home after a trip

Looking around the house: J and I have been doing various cleaning and organization projects and I’ve seen a ton of improvement. Surfaces are being cleared off and cleaned. I love it! I did a power clean of the master bathroom this morning and it’s looking so good. I completely cleared off the counter and redid the closet.

From the camera: Quentin and a friend during our Sonic date.
