June!! Hello and goodbye to this month. How are we through 6 months of the year already?! In so many ways it feels like my year is just beginning. It’s summertime and a fresh start all at once {Insert refreshing deep breath here}. I’m here for it, even if it feels like half the year has managed to slip by.

January was nice. I spent a lot of time doing my yearly reflection of what I hoped for the year, and, per usual, by February a lot of that went out the door as I was getting into the busy season with work. March and April was spent mostly in survival mode between work and family life. May was a recovery month and getting my home and life back on a normal track. And now June…lovely, refreshing, revitalizing, June.

We have officially entered our summer schedule, which means a slightly later start in the morning. I keep having to remind myself that our summer only started 2 weeks ago and there is plenty of time left to enjoy the season.

We are planning a few fun outings this summer, but overall it will likely be a more quiet summer this year and that’s ok. We will make the best of it!

Here’s what else we’ve been up to…

Currently Watching

Pride and Prejudice on Amazon Prime

I watched the entire “series” once already and I’m watching it again. Such a classic! I watched it years ago but I didn’t have the appreciation for it back then as I do now.

Currently Reading

Finished! “Eragon” by Christopher Paolini

I liked it and would give it about 3.5 stars. It sometimes felt a bit repetitive with the fighting scenes, but otherwise it was good.

Which then brings to the next book in the series that I just finished, “Eldest”.

I have not picked up the 3rd book yet, but it’s coming.

I’m finally getting back to “Atomic Habits“, by James Clear.

I have become extremely lax in keeping with my routines and habits over the last couple months and it is really starting to show and bleed into other areas of my life. It is far past time that I get myself and my home back into shape!

Currently Making/Baking

Chicken Strip Salad Wraps!

This is the easiest recipe! You can get whatever salad mix you like at the store, and your favorite salad dressing. Buy some breaded chicken strips and bake as directed. I let the chicken cool a bit and cut it into pieces. Place however much salad mix you would like on a tortilla, spread the chicken on top, drizzle your salad dressing on and wrap it all up! Sometimes we get potato wedges for a side as well. It’s a great summer meal!

Current Favorite

Spending so much quality time with my family!

It’s easy to get caught up with daily life, but I am so thankful to be in a season that I can finally slow down and soak in more family time.

Thank you for being here in my very sporadic blogging journey. I hope you all are doing well and are having a wonderful start to your Summer!

Much love,
