Lately...

After doing the gratitude list last week, I felt like I wanted to add a little more in the form of a weekly update. This format is an adaptation of the style of update posts on a blog I've been loving lately, Tina Bumblebee.

here it goes...

remembering to prioritize rest

trying to do some major life editing and let go of some of the less-than-essential projects

cooking the same delicious blue cheese salad again and again

drinking green tea, red tea

reading Abarat by Clive Barker

wanting to start reading The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender

creating a handmade gift for a good friends new baby

playing peek a boo

deciding what has to go

wishing for kittens to cuddle

planning my new shop

wondering if my summer reading list is over-ambitious

loving Sunday home spa days with rose geranium and lavender essential oil baths

listening to more pop music than I'd care to admit

needing an overhead projector, okay maybe this is more of a wanting, also don't worry about why

wearing summer dresses and feeling so happy about it

noticing how fast the bindweed is taking over my garden while I stay inside with allergies

exploring possibilities for relocating

thinking about whether to keep doing organized homeschool during summer

getting excited for summer swimming adventures

feeling settled

gratitude for...
balloon flowers that popped up by surprise in my yard
nettle tea
early summer berries
the little things that only four-year-olds would think of to say or do
the way bee says the word "tickle"
good writing
sleeping through the night
bubbles
rain when it's warm out
tides so low you can see the contours of the sea floor


this week's enjoyable links...

These are cute little illustrations. You can subscribe to enjoy one every day.

Beautiful shadow puppets and other handcrafted goodness. I am seriously impressed with this mama's crafting skills. She has an Etsy shop and blog.

Lusting after an excellent retro hairdo, as mentioned above. Here were some of my first clues.

Whats new with you? links to posts welcome.
