Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life: Week 23
A moment of calm before a meeting. I love the yellow flowers on the Marin headlands right now.
On my way to get coffee before a field trip.
(the calm before the storm)
A thrift store find that has lowered our blood pressure.
The color!
Goodnight, sun.
Enjoyed every last bit of Cold Soba Noodle Salad leftovers.
Picked up my favorite brush pen to write this week. I missed it!
The sunsets right now.
The hope of Summer.
The way my garden is looking.
The smell of roasted strawberries in my kitchen right now.
It’s time to shock my body back into health. I usually do it with a Reset Button Salad but last week I was shooting & styling a recipe for One Potato and I turned their cold soba noodle salad into epic leftovers. I shared it on my Instagram stories and people asked for the recipe so I recreated it just for you. I added fresh arugula, cilantro avocados, slivered almonds to the mixture of soba noodles, peppers, snap peas, green onions, and sesame seeds. Emphasis on the arugula and cilantro. That’s what made it more salad than noodle and that’s the way I like my noodle salads.
That’s a lot in one bowl, huh?
I’ve been eating this for lunches this week and had it for once dinner. Every time I go in for another serving, I add a splash of lime juice and some fresh avocado and whatever arugula I have left in the fridge. This is exactly what I need as we head into the Summer and I contemplate wearing a bathing suit (in public).
Goodbye, May. Hello, JUNE!
May was a busy month for me. I have a really exciting project coming up in August and I can’t wait to share that with you, but behind the scenes I’ve been up late at night editing photos, writing and getting stuff done. My brain was in overdrive and we also had so much baseball on top of that. I had a hard time finding my bearings at times.
May was filled with adventure. I went to a lot of places with friends and it was a really good distraction from missing my mom on our first Mother’s Day without her.
Speaking of Mother’s Day. Ours was mellow, just how I wanted it to be.
I asked for:
And I got all of that.
Thank you, family.
It’s a good lesson that if you don’t ask, you don’t get!
June is coming up so that means we have to work on our Summer Bucket List!
Hello Friends! Happy Monday to you. It’s June! Whoa!
This weekend we had baseball championships and unfortunately, we lost. We played one heck of a game though. All Sunday I worked on paper piles, did gardening, and sorted things in my office. Life requires maintenance!
This week I have a few appointments and a field trip to drive on. I’m hoping to get a lot of things knocked off the TO DO LIST before Summer arrives in the Shutterbean household. That reminds me…I need to make a list of all the summer activities we like to do to occupy the time. Library visits are definitely a prerequisite.
Let’s see what my Intentions for the Week are:
