As I look outside my window: It rained again last night. And it’s still pretty wet this morning. Glad it happened on a home day and not a park playdate day.

Right now I am: Making an orange breakfast cake for brunch before clearing our the living room so J can clean the carpets. Busy morning!

On my bedside table: An Immense World by Ed Yong; A Duke in Disguise by Cat Sebastian

On my tv this week: We’ve kept up with our currently airing shows. We also finally started The Beatles documentary Get Back.

Listening to: I downloaded Nita Strauss’s new album and I am obsessed. So good!

On my to do list: Lots of things I imagine, but the first thing is fix our curriculum for next week. I over scheduled us for week one so everything is a bit out of sync. Per a big discussion at a coop related birthday party yesterday, I need to make a list of potential spaces to hold winter coop in…

What I am creating:

My simple pleasures:

Looking around the house: We bought a carpet cleaner and J decided that yesterday was the perfect day to clean the dining room and playroom. I must admit that it does look better. Now we need to do the living room.

From the camera: The stack of books that I had put on our schedule for homeschool that we didn’t actually get to… That’s okay, this is why I schedule flex weeks periodically.
