One of my favourite posts of the month - a nice recap of what we've been up to!
What we're eating this week...
Sunday - Family BBQ
Monday - Grilled chicken, rice, Greek salad, pita, hummus, tzatziki
Tuesday - Burgers
Wednesday - Tuna Casserole
Thursday - I'm going out so the rest of the family is on their own!
Friday and Saturday - not sure but will go out one night
What I'm reminiscing about...
My mom is up this week and we went to a BBQ with our cousins my grandfather's side. Later we were talking about things my grandfather used to say, and things I will say because of that.
What I'm loving...
Riding my bike to work. On the two days this week that I took the subway, I really missed my bike ride. It is a work out but it is so nice to be outside and I have more energy.
What we've been up to...
July has been sun-filled and we love it. We camped twice and had a couple of pool days. E has been enjoying his camps, and now he's hanging out with my mom this week.
What I'm dreading...
Not much really - I don't like to think about the end of summer, so I won't!
What I'm working on...
I'm actually turning my mind to Q's and E's birthday parties and back to school supplies. I sometimes leave it too late and then am scrambling and am not left with many choices. I did an order at well.ca last night to get E a new lunch box (Avengers of course!) and a new thermos.
What I'm excited about...
To take a little summer holiday in a couple of weeks.
What I'm watching/reading...
We just finished up Big Little Lies, so now onto Stranger Things. I'm also watching Queer Eye. I wrote about my July books on Monday. Now I'm reading Death Comes to Pemberley by PD James.
What I'm listening to...
I added Beyonce's new song, Brown Skin Girl, to my playlist. It is catchy and I like that her daughter is featured on it.
What I'm wearing...
New shirts from Nordstrom Rack. I had to go up that way for a work errand (Chilean consulate to be exact) and decided to pop into Nordstrom Rack to see what they had. I got two new work shirts and two Zella shirts. They are supposed to be workout shirts but I think they are most fashion shirts, not properly built for a good sweat.
What I'm doing this weekend...
Not much of anything, maybe a beach day depending on the weather.
What I'm looking forward to next month...
The August long weekend, we have no big plans, but a friend will be in town, and it is always nice to be in the city that is slightly less busy. A day at Canada's Wonderland. And our trip to Lake Placid, NY, and Jefferson, NH.
What else is new...
I usually have a little Q story to share in this place - our child who used to like to go to sleep without too much trouble, is now into negotiating his way into more things - he wants to sleep in our room, in E's room, to watch a show on my phone, to go downstairs and play to read more books, to play with his toys in his bed, etc. etc. It's a stand off on who will give in to what first, but he's so sweet, it's not like you can be mad at him!
I've been reminiscing a lot about my grandmother lately. I think our trip to the Cape brought back all those fun summers I spent there with her and my sister and my grandfather.
