Lately Week Two

this week I've been...

remembering what it was like to have summer break as a kid

trying to garden despite my allergies

cooking burgers, burgers, and more burgers

drinking rooibos, rose hip and rose bud blend

reading nothing. Can't settle into a book after The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender

wanting more time for crafts

creating piles of projects I'm putting on hold

playing with bubble wands

deciding when to set the launch date for my shop

wishing for a little bit of summer rain

planning our summer adventures

wondering how homeschooling will go next year for kindergarten

loving my incredible partner who does so much for our family

listening to the shook twins

needing a cat

wearing new silver spiral earrings

noticing how bee is so expressive even without using words

exploring Roald Dahl's short stories 

thinking that our family really should go away for vacation this summer after all

getting through some hard feelings

feeling new energy

gratitude for...
the longest day of the year
how much bee loves to play this little piggy with his toes
that chobie notices when i'm sad and comes to hug me
the friends i haven't seen for a while
walks in the woods
cats
foot massages
opportunities to doze on the couch
help from family members when i've really needed it
all the early berries this year

this week's enjoyable links...

We all know there's way too much "good" parenting advice out there, but this I really did find helpful.

I found this article that validated my old fashioned notions of learning, and to some extent being in the world.

Also in this weeks finds: adorable snail doll pattern.

One of my favorite blogs turned three months old this week.

I'll be participating in this month's carnival of natural parenting too.
