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 27 of 2020

Happy Monday, friends!

We had a pretty nice weekend here. I had a lady art date with my friend. The boys did baseball. Casey got involved in a bmx bike refinishing project. I cleaned the house and did a lot of straightening. Oh, and I also did a bunch of gardening. I am not sure we left the house most of the weekend. This week I have to figure out how to occupy Cooper’s time while we work from home. Hoping to get a big batch of stuff done so I can block out some time with my boo. 

I almost forgot! I FINALLY DID MEAL PREP!

I am obsessed with this chalk!  No dust and so creamy!

Headed out for the Farmer’s Market.

My goal was to get some blooms to paint!

Went with my friend Neiley.

I painted these with my camera.

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.
