the monday edit
hi and happy monday! does anyone else feel like spring barely started, but is also is just moving entirely too quickly? it is one of my favorite times of year. i love when the blooms start peeping out, everything comes back to life and the air feels vibrant, the trees become green and the sun is bright and warm. i also feel like this spring is just flying by; it will be may before we know it.
we are now two weeks into t-ball, and maya is loving it. brendan is ready to crash the party, and loves trying to practice at home. we are loving scooter walks around the neighborhood, lazy afternoons in the backyard, and any other excuse to be outside that we can find.
every day, we feel slightly more settled, with even more boxes unpacked and more things being organized and put away. with a more normal week at school, we were able to start feeling more like ourselves, with our new routine. i’m looking forward to even more of that this week, with more t-ball, less chaos, and bring your child to work day. i hope everyone else has a great week!
the monday edit:
reading:
finished this week:
the irish goodbye (heather aimee o'neill): i loved this, with a few good tears mixed in at the end. i love a family based story.
currently reading:
writers & lovers (lily king): casey has my heart…
workhorse (caroline palmer): this is darkly funny and so relatable; i’m savoring my way through this.
my husband's wife (alice feeney): her books always grab me, and i love a thriller; this already feels a little twisty and dark.
watching:
comfort watching schitt’s creek
golf is always on in our house.
shrinking (it gets better every season)
top chef
your friends & neighbors is back!
full swing is back!
