Good morning, friends! I hope you had a fun and relaxing weekend. Here are a few things we are up to lately:
FOOD…
- While out running some errands, Mark stopped and got some veggies from a little roadside stand. That poor man is out there every day in this crazy heat! I fully recommend shopping at your local roadside market – it feels good to support the farmers and the food is just so good!
- My husband has been doing a lot of research lately about food and nutrition and has decided to eat “primal”. From what I gather, that means lots of fruits, veggies and meat and very little starches and carbohydrates. There is no way that I could fully embrace eating this way (I love to bake too much!) but I’m trying to find recipes that are adaptable for all of us. I’ve seen this
cookbook and I wonder if that may help with some ideas.
CRAFTY…
- I am taking a small break from my quilt to work on a new project! I bought this from the The Floss Box (for $2! What a deal!) and it’s so cute! I hope to have it finished by the end of the week. I’m considering making it into a pillow or framing it for my craft room.
- I spent the majority of this weekend scrapbooking. Back in March, I took my mom’s boxes full of 20+ years of photographs and promised her a scrapbook in return. Needless to say, that was months ago and I’m still plugging away! It has turned out to be a slightly bigger task than I had imagined (HAH! Understatement!) , but I am really enjoying it.
PRE-K…
- Our school year will begin in three short weeks! The first book we are reading is How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World
. I have been searching the Internet for apple activities and recipes. If you have a great craft or recipe or have seen something cute on a website, please share it with me in the comments!
- I want to start incorporating read alouds into our day. We read picture books at bedtime, but I think the boys are finally old enough that we could start reading a chapter book instead. I’m thinking of starting with Charlotte’s Web
. Do you have any recommendations?
Have a great week!
