currently…

wondering how it could be that we’re finished with elementary school. Time really flies.

loving this pretty dress my daughter wore for her 5th grade continuation. The theme was ‘Star Power’ so she wanted something shimmery and this was beautiful.

feeling good about the centerpieces I made for the class continuation party yesterday. I printed photos of the kids from over the years and used these little star photo holders stuck into dollar tree tinsel balloon weights. They were inexpensive, on theme, and people loved looking at the photos.

purchasing doggy diapers for Ella. She was scheduled to be spayed next month and I was hoping we’d get by without a heat cycle, but at least she looks hilariously cute in these diapers.  

listening to the audiobook of The Measure. I read this a few years ago but am doing the audiobook to refresh my memory because I proposed this for a neighborhood ‘sumer book club.’

binging the I’ve Had It Podcast. I started all the way at the beginning (late 2022) and have been trying to catch up. These ladies are hilarious.

lifting weights using the CGX app. I’ve loved her free youtube videos for about 2 years now and finally made the leap to her paid app (it’s great)! 

wearing mouth tape while I sleep to force myself to breath through my nose (that’s the wellness habit I’m testing for this month). At first I thought it was improving my sleep quality, but mostly I’m getting annoyed by the sticky residue on my lips every morning. I don’t think I’ll continue this one after the month ends.

baking lots of mini cookie cakes. My daughter has been making them as gifts and for every celebration lately. We use this recipe and then measure out 100g of dough into these silicone molds.

finishing my mosaic crochet blanket. My goal was to finish before November but I got SO into this and couldn’t stop! I’m excited to start another project once I put the finishing touch- a fleece backing- on my blanket.
