My Everyday Life Week 25

Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 25

What’s in my victory garden!

Pillow fort leftovers. 

I cleaned out my fridge this week and did meal prep! WAHOO.

Cooper always gets extra mints only because he asks for them and he’s cute.

He knows the concept of “Don’t Ask/Don’t Get” more than anyone I know.

My husband made me a hanging planter. I love it so much.

Shasta daisies in the front yard make me happy

It’s so weird to experience this time of day during the week at my house.

Salmon Avocado Nori Wraps

My friend Amanda sent me her new book- Simple Beautiful Food and her recipe for Salmon Avocado Nori Wraps immediately went on the TO DO LIST.

Mostly because we haven’t had sushi in a while and I’ve been CRAVING IT LIKE MAD.

Also, we could stand to eat something on the healthier side in my household during this quarantine situation.  I’ve been doing too much baking…

What I like about this recipe is that it uses cooked salmon. I made mine during Sunday meal prep with a batch of rice so this recipe was really easy to throw together on Monday night.

I suppose if you’re not standing around styling it/taking photos of it, it would be a BREEZE. 

Thank you for reminding me what good food tastes like, Amanda. I’m so excited to have your new cookbook to inspire me to eat more Simple Beautiful Food.

Intentions for the Week

Looking to get your head in the game? Tracy from Shutterbean makes a weekly TO DO LIST called her Intentions for the Week. Here's what this week looks like:

Intentions for the Week – Week 25 of 2020

Happy Monday, friends!

Today marks 96 days of being at home with my family. Wheeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww. Some days feel like forever and some days not so much. This weekend I caught up on work around the house. Edited photos for My Everyday Life and worked in the yard a lot.  Cooper had a friend over which made things so much easier. I think he’s getting bored with Casey and I.  I hope that by the end of the week we have a pocket of time to get out and do something adventurous (if possible). I did some meal prep this Sunday but didn’t take pictures. Does that mean it didn’t even happen? I’ll see if I can post them soon.  Right now it’s time to spell out my Intentions for the week.

My Everyday Life Week 24

Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 24

Trying to find my light source this week. What weird times we are living in. 

This week I was a part of an Artist Take Action Auction with 7 of my fellow artist friends. 

My contribution was artwork and special goodies from The Handwriting Club.

I was able to raise $160 for The Love Land Foundation. I matched the amount was able to send $360 their way!

Our auction totaled to almost $3800! 

Started my 6th Food Journal this week.

I decorated my latest one with stickers from my shop.
