So, let’s do it!
…10 random issues, prepared, set, go!
- Lake home weekend with associates:
We’re heading as much as Lake Geneva this weekend with associates (and youngsters!) and so excited! Fingers crossed the climate warms a bit greater than what’s within the forecast, however both manner, it’ll be a good time! Will probably be so enjoyable to have all of the infants collectively and the home we’re renting has an exquisite yard so I’m REALLY pulling for heat sufficient climate to play outdoors and go for lengthy walks alongside the lake!
2.

I used to be actually impressed with their entire choice of fake vegetation!
3. Water desk:
One other buy we made final week was a water desk for June. After watching how a lot she has cherished enjoying with them at associates homes I knew it was in all probability a sensible thought.

So lots of you commented that you simply personal and like it too! Sadly as quickly as we set it up it obtained chilly once more, so she’s solely been in a position to play with it as soon as, nevertheless it was a success. We additionally bought this fish tank pump for it too so it retains the water working by means of the water fall the entire time she’s enjoying!
4. Journey plans:
A number of journey developing that I’m so enthusiastic about! In a pair weeks my sister and I are taking my nephew to NYC for his commencement current, and a pair weeks later, I’m going to Santa Barbara once more this yr with June to go to my aunt (my mother, different aunt, and cousin are coming too!) I’m actually excited. I additionally get to see my greatest buddy Michal!
In June, we simply deliberate a ladies journey to Napa with my two greatest associates (put up school roommates) and a pair weeks after that I’m going dwelling to go to household in Oregon. Then we’re hoping to plan our first Europe journey with June in August! (Pondering the Dolomites, however haven’t gotten any additional than that in our planning.)
We’re additionally planning to take June to Australia in December for Neal’s cousin Conor’s marriage ceremony (which I’ll admit is QUITE an enterprise and I’m questioning if we’re insane, but in addition leaving her to go internationally for two+ weeks isn’t an choice both!) I actually need to begin planning that. 😂
WHEW I’m drained simply typing all of this however concurrently so thrilled to have a lot enjoyable on the agenda.
5. New music obsession:
For nation lovers–have you ever heard Kacey Musgrave’s model of Neon Moon? It’s so good. I’ve been engaged on studying it on the Ukulele and it’s been caught on repeat in my head for in all probability the final 5 days straight. (Should you play Ukulele or Guitar yow will discover the tabs right here, btw!)
6. Parenting books bc had been full swing into Toddlerhood:
June is in full swing toddlerhood now and whereas it’s by far essentially the most enjoyable stage of parenting up to now, it’s additionally BY FAR the toughest. The tantrums and feelings aren’t any joke. I really feel like till this level, being a dad or mum has actually simply meant retaining a child alive and now we’re having to determine be on the identical web page with deal with/handle enormous feelings, outbursts, self-discipline, determining our boundaries and limits and implement them–and so many different issues that we haven’t had to consider earlier than!
That being mentioned, I purchased and furiously tore by means of two books one the previous couple weeks: Hunt Collect Mother or father (which got here extremely beneficial by you all and I can attest was so attention-grabbing and useful) and Happiest Toddler on the Block. Each are very totally different but share comparable rules. Should you’re additionally a toddler dad or mum I extremely suggest them each and located them to be pretty complimentary to 1 one other.

9. Daisy Jones & the Six obsession
We would be the closing folks to leap on the Daisy Jones bandwagon however simply in case you haven’t watched it but both–I can’t suggest it sufficient. It’s primarily based on the ebook by Taylor Jenkins Reid (rumored to be loosely impressed by Fleetwood Mac) which I completely cherished–however I learn it years in the past so I in truth don’t keep in mind precisely how near the ebook it was. (I extremely suggest the audiobook by the way in which, as a result of its learn by a forged and feels very “behind the music.”)
All I can say is that I believed the characters had been forged very nicely and I believed they did an unbelievable job. We had been each so unhappy when it was over, and the music was so good, too! You possibly can watch it on Amazon.
10. You possibly can take heed to the Daisy Jones & the Six “Aurora” album on Spotify!!
Okay as we converse–I simply discovered that they’ve all of the songs from their “album” on Spotify (!!!) I’m so excited. I do know what I’m listening to the remainder of the day! 😂 Guess that’s one option to get Neon Moon out of my head.
That’s it! 10 issues! Hope you could have a terrific remainder of your day!
