Around here, I have been:
celebrating the Fourth of July…sort-of. Honestly, it was a bit of a bust – the cloudy, rainy weather ruined most of my plans and excitement. Oh well, there’s always next year!
baking blueberry peach cobbler twice. It’s definitely our family’s summer tradition and just as good as I remembered. We devoured an entire 9″x13″ pan in one sitting.
finishing up my third 100 Little Things list to begin in August. I’m so excited about it, I want to get started now! Instead, I’m hoping to cross off a few more items on Round Two…one month to go! On the list: a baseball game for the kids, new flavors of lemonade, and possibly breaking out the sewing machine to make Sophia pajama pants.
working on a basic social media schedule for Big White Farmhouse’s third quarter. I nailed down some promos/sales and did some research about marketing. So much to do and learn, there’s never a dull moment in this business!
reading The American Way of Eating (which was really interesting…I’m still gathering my thoughts) and just starting We Have Always Lived in the Castle. My “to-read” list on Goodreads is over 300 books, so I’m thinking I may need to reel myself in, stick to the list and cut that number down a bit…is that even possible? So many books to read, so little time.
having crazy, bizarre dreams – thank you pregnancy! Some have been really scary and I’ve woken up in a sweat, praying every protection prayer I can think of in my semi-awake stuper. Thankfully, though, most of the dreams are just random and involve family members, TV characters and even a few people I haven’t seen since high school.
working on our emergency preparedness kit again. Somewhere in the last six months, I misplaced my list and that task fell to the back, BACK burner. But after our little power outage scare last week, I’m re-inspired! First things to purchase are more cases of water and a battery-operated cell phone charger. #priorities
loving how big TJ is getting this summer. All of a sudden, just like his brothers before him, he is all about his “guys” and will play happily for 20 minutes (which is like forever for that little busy-body!) at a time. He’s also loving a Lego Superman movie we own and asks to watch it daily, complete with happy dance.
watching a crazy squirrel intent on making it to our bird feeder! He hangs on our screen and is oblivious to the kids smacking the window. I think the poor thing is scared to death!
