On my bedside table: HP and the Chamber of Secrets (reread!); The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay; A Place for Us by Fatima Faheen Mirza

On my TV: Lots of currently airing shows including The Magicians and Teachers (last season!).

Listening to: Eh. Some podcasts I guess.

On the menu: If you notice, I don’t have a grilled cheese on deck for dinner this week. Don’t worry, I didn’t forget! We’re going to make a blueberry breakfast GC this week!

On my to do list: Thinking I need to do a brain dump today. I know I have a ton of to-dos, but my old list is looking a little sparse. I should spend about 20 minutes today just writing everything down.

Happening this week: We planning on hitting the zoo and a community center playtime this week along with school and our usual errands. I have book club on Tuesday night (yeah!!!).

What I am creating: I finally finished Q’s 2017 Project Life Album and spent time prepping his 2018 album. This weekend, I am either going to start on that album or make some more cards for March.

My simple pleasures: Hot tea, a walk through a garden (in winter!), lots of good books.

What I’m planning: Still working out our spring break plans, but I think we’ve most of things worked out. The little boys and I are going to make a detour on the way to stop and play at Legoland outside of Chicago. I scored a B1G1 coupon and Q is free, so I just had to pay for me! Score!

Looking around the house: Probably need to sweep the kitchen/dining room, but I did get the carpet all vacuumed yesterday, so farther than I thought I would be this weekend.

Looking forward to: Book club! Seriously, so excited to get out and have some adult conversation away from the kiddos. Even if I didn’t really enjoy the book…

From the camera: We found Spike at the garden this week!
