May was another month that breezed right by. Busy is starting to feel like the new normal around here. I'm thankful that I at least had a little time for some r & r over Memorial Day weekend; it was just what I needed to get me through the rest of the month. Here are a few things I've been enjoying lately.
{playing} pretend sports. Rather, Jona has been playing pretend sports. Lately he's taken to swinging his xylaphone stick like a baseball bat or a golf club. When Zulily had a sale on Little Tikes outdoor toys, I bought the poor deprived child a tee ball set so he can play the real thing. I can't wait to see him hit one "outta da pahk" (out of the park).
{going} to all the parties, weddings, and showers. For the past couple of months, I feel like we've had a wedding, a birthday party, or a baby/wedding shower just about every weekend. Luckily, they've all been really fun. Last weekend it was a birthday party for a friend's little 2-year-old, and Jona had a blast. (Lots of sugar and a parachute, what's not to love, right?)
{wearing} spring floral. Stripes will always be my MVP (most valuable pattern, yeah?) but lately I can't get enough floral. Along with a floral dress and cardigan, I recently added a sleeveless floral button up to my closet as well. Oh, and a pair of floral sneakers may have just shown up on my doorstep as well (free thanks to a Twice credit!).
{sipping} nutella cookie dough milkshake. I checked another one off of my summer food bucket list and made this nutella oatmeal cookie shake from How Sweet it is. However, I changed it up a little; instead of using coconut milk and crushed ice I used chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and a splash of milk. Two thumbs up!
{reading} All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. I admit it, I'm a sucker for good World War II literature. And this is one of the good ones. I love a story told from multiple perspectives, and this one alternates between Marie-Laure, a blind Parisian girl, and Werner, a mathematically-gifted German boy. This is one that I've been staying up too late for because I just want to read one more chapter.
What have you been up to currently?
