This is what the past week looked like.
A great start to a great week.
Made banana chocolate chip muffins and they don't look good, but they were amazing.
Next time, I just need to double the recipe to make a full batch of 12.
Old man Manny.
This was pretty tasty.
Sailboat sighting.
Sweetest boy.
Library board meeting (doesn't it make me sound so legit?).
G tilled the beach, and I found an awesome guy through the community FB page to tackle all the weeding around the house.
Honestly, I feel so much lighter having all those chores checked off the list.
Followed the chores schedule I made last year, then rewarded ourselves with boat rides afterward.
Why does new hair make me feel like a new person?
Ball of fire.
Golden hour.
Sugar face.
The clouds looked like mountains.
We were checking off chores all week, so we grabbed a Qdoba family meal to keep us fed for the week and take one more thing off our plates (literally).
My favorite way to end the day.
This view doesn't get old.
M had a vet checkup for his ear, and with Starbucks right next door… how could I resist?
Happy to report he’s feeling so much better, officially on the mend, and finally off his meds!
Swooning over my neighbor's flower garden.
Snuggle buddy.
This show is already so twisty and fun, and now James Marsden is in Season 2?!
Just when I didn’t think it could get any better.
Our second year hosting the family reunion!
It started off a little rainy, so we had to pivot to the porch for the first hour.
All smiles.
My aunt made the most incredible mini chicken salad sandwiches.
Bennett said he could’ve eaten an entire plate of them, and honestly, I couldn’t agree more.
Italians really know how to do food, and everyone brought their A-game.
Needless to say, no one went hungry!
The rain finally cleared out, and we were able to move the party outside for the rest of the day.
The kids rotated between the mat...
And the hot tub. :)
I'm so glad I documented the kids putting the kayaks and paddleboat to good use, because G wouldn't have cleaned them otherwise.
It’s so weird seeing the boat cruising around the lake without me on it.
Captain G and his first mates.
The perfect end to a perfect day.
Not everything went smoothly, though.
I got stung by a bee (and it hurt!), and M decided to poop on the porch, step in it, and then proceed to track it all over the couch cushions.
RIP Dolly.
Another James Clear newsletter gem.
She really was a national treasure.
Giving. Creating. Making.
Convicting.
Still thinking about this.
Thank you, Dolly.
The satisfied later concept.
Me too, Dolly.
Haha I wish G would watch Real Housewives with me.
Wise words from a wise woman.
No thank you.
It's funny because it's true.
I feel seen.
Same.
I'm a reader!
Exactly.
For more life lately:
