And just like that it’s the end of July. I don’t know about you but July just sort of flew by. My anxiety about school is starting to pick up now that August is here. I am very much a planner. I like to know what’s going to happen so I can be prepared, and we don’t know for sure what will happen with school. As of now our district will be doing both in person and all online, but it could change. Our governor has said she can’t make a final decision until much closer to the start of school.
I know that I am not the only parent who is majorly stressing over what decision to make. I really feel it’s a “damned if you do damned if you don’t” type of situation. I just pray that whatever happens people will stay safe, I will maintain my sanity, and the girls will be ok.
So, now that that’s off my chest let’s get on with what some of my favorites this week were.
One: JoAnn Fabrics
Although this technically happened this weekend, I stepped foot in a JoAnn’s!! Other than the grocery store I have not been to any other public place. Man oh man did I miss this store. Even though I just went in for some infusible ink (check out my post here), and didn’t even browse the fabric I felt my stress just lower a notch.
Two: Found my crafting mojo
If you follow me in IG then you may have seen my post about finding my crafting mojo. I’ve really been on the struggle bus basically since having Aubrie, and lately I think I’ve been finding joy in being creative again.
I play on putting the pattern for both the crochet monster and hair bows on the blog.
Three: Had some yummy smoked pork butt
One of my favorite things about summer is smoking meat. This pork butt basically melted in my mouth after seven hours on the smoker.
Four: Washed my car
Ever since I mentioned that maybe we could wash my car the girls have been begging me to do it. We finally did it this week, and they had a blast! I remember how much I loved helping my parents wash their cars, so it was cute to see the girls enjoy it as well.
Five: A few memes that made me laugh
These had me laughing.
And in case you missed it, on the blog this week:
Beef Gnocchi with Pesto Tomato Sauce Skillet
I hope that everyone has a fabulous weekend!
