A blog post on a Wednesday? Yup, and I’m going to try to keep it up. Since I’ve been on my soapbox a helluva lot lately when it comes to finances, etc., I thought it might be fun to show you a bit of my daily life. Personally I love reading weekly update posts on other blogs so I thought I’d try it here too!
Enjoy!
Recipe(s) of the week:
I feel like I would be doing you a huge disservice to not tell you about Dessert Now, Dinner Later’s Lime Bars. I made them when we ventured to a brewery and loooove them. They’re a perfect summer dessert that isn’t chocolate.
Currently watching:
Real Housewives of New York and Real Housewives of Beverley Hills. The episodes where RHNY was in Newport, RI is EVERYTHING. I loooove Newport and loved seeing them at some of my favorite spots there.
Currently Drinking:
All day everryyyy day my Arbonne smoothie. On regular macro days for FASTer Way, it’s the perfect way to start the “feeding” (non-fasting) time.
- 1 Cup Frozen Mangoes
- 1 Cup Frozen Mixed Berried
- 1 Banana
- 1 Clementine
- 2 scoops Vital Proteins
- 2 Scoops Arbonne Vanilla Protein
Currently Reading:
I’m not very far in to this one, but so far so good. I love Sound of Music and loved hearing Julie Andrews talk about filming it.
Currently Listening:
Christy Wright’s Business Boutique podcast. I started listening to learn business tips but am gaining such much more. Christy incorporates Christianity in to business growth in such a beautiful and authentic way that I’m more inspired than ever to grow in many areas of my life.
This Week’s Adventures:
I met up with a college friend in Annapolis and, long story, we were there a *little* longer than we expected. We had lunch, walked around aaaand I held her baby during her nap.
I am also in the process of learning how to golf with a friend…
I took yet another trip to Great Falls and, as always, loved seeing them. So pretty. We actually saw people kayaking DOWN the falls this time, which was SO nerve-wrecking and cool at the same time. If you look closely at this photo, you can see them too. As far as I know, they survived :).
Finally, Jim and I went sailing in Old Town.
Hobbies This Week:
I have complained about mask wearing long enough and finally caved and sewed myself one. I actually forgot I had this fabric.. I had it from when I took sewing classes, which I was wonderful experience that I talk about HERE.
Also after (literally) months of wanting to throw my Cricut against the wall (they’re daunting but really, really cool once you get the hang of them), I FINALLY finished my first Cricut project!
And my little container garden is going strong!
Favorite blog post(s):
- My 2020 Socially Distanced Summer Bucket List: Fun ideas and it made me want to make a list for myself.
- I Can Do Better: This is one of the few posts I’ve read on the racism issue that doesn’t make me feel like a bag of trash after. Definitely worth the read.
- Preppy Black Influencers to Follow: Let’s be real, I’m maaaybe a bit preppy and love seeing other women on the ‘gram who are too.
Well, there you have it, friends! I don’t know that all of my weeks will be quite this jazzy but thanks for following along!
Is that a Flying Scot ur sailing on?
Sailors Have More Fun!😊
Yes?? I think? It’s the small-ish one with no motor. Anyway, it was fun and I agree 🙂
