the monday edit
another monday, and we’re very happy about it because everyone is off today! we love a long weekend and a short week. we spent the late part of the week and early part of the weekend with my parents. maya and brendan got to play outside with them, as we added some finishing touches to our halloween decorations, and we brought them around to ballet, run errands, and of course one of our favorite breweries.
yesterday was a football lazy day, with a visit from one of our best friends, and we’re planning to spend all day today organizing and cleaning, while the kids naturally try to wreck it all. i’m most excited to go through all of my clothes and (sadly) put away summer, but (excitedly) bring out my fall/winter goodies.
the rest of the week and should fly, though don’t short weeks always somehow drag? we shall see. we have a quiet upcoming few weeks which we are thrilled about, and planning to start really planning halloween and fall activities.
i hope everyone has a great week!
the monday edit:
reading:
excited to finish his fall… as in, maybe i’m going to finally get back to and start one these this week…
atomic habits (james clear) - late to the game here, and took a break for other books, but excited to get back to this.
don't believe everything you think (joseph nguyen)
currently reading…
still at a bit of a standstill with intermezzo (sally rooney). i’ve gotten through the first chapter, and am getting through it. last book from her picked up for me, so hoping the same happen here, but my loan ran out, so i’m back on the waiting list for this. that gives me more time for five tuesdays in winter, a book (lily king), and already looking to grab more of hers.
i also got through another good portion of good dirt (charmaine wilkerson), which i absolutely love, but i’m definitely savoring. i’ve been steadily making my way through my friends (fredrik backman), and his books are always a favorite for me. meanwhile, i’m sure i’ll pop in some quick chick-lit in there as well.
currently watching:
quarterback (netflix) - always a sucker for a football show
abbott elementary
finished the four seasons (loved, excited for the next season)
football, football and football
etoille
hunting wives
i think we’ll finally start slow horses (i’ve heard great things)
making this week:
ramen
chicken bowls with roasted veggies and quinoa
sheet pan chicken curry with cauliflower
flank steak with roasted brussel sprouts and maybe butternut squash
the everything else edit:
necklaces, i’ve been on the hunt for some fresh options for every day (aurate new york, jenny bird zeina chain, jenny bird dhani chain, hart charm builder)
some good skincare, body and face, that i’m excited about (nécessaire the body exfoliator, prequel vitamin c, lrp balm for my cool mornings outside, intrigued by this moisturizing treatment, dieux instant angel moisturizer)
getting back on my smoothie routine with this (promix)
lips, lips lips (the outset, finding ferdinand)
