Linking up with Anne for today's Currently post!

Scheming:
I have been doing some major planning and Pinterest-ing for some house updates, especially wall decor &  bathroom remodel ideas. I am also thinking of ways to organize the closet in my office a bit more... aesthetically? Everything is organized categorically, but I still feel like it's a huge mess. I'll even show you the "before" (please don't judge me lol).

See... yikes. This closet does triple duty: it holds all my assessment materials, toys, our filing cabinet, and extra decor for the house. I guess it could be worse?
                      
Reading:
I needed something fluffy and cute to read, so I picked up a classic Jill Shalvis. Simply Irresistible is the first book in the Lucky Harbor series. I'm enjoying it so far. I also just picked up A Stranger in the House by Shari Lapena. I've heard really good things about it.                                                                                 



Buying: A very random assortment of things. 
Kristin Ess Air Dry Creme, thanks to Laurie 
Picture ledge shelves from Target
                     
A little book haul: Where'd You Go, Bernadette // A Stranger in the House // Then She Was Gone

Recent Amazon Finds: A wall calendar (random but I needed one for the house and this set came with 2) // A vanity tray for my skincare/daily products (another Laurie recommendation) // Another book, It's Not Supposed To Be This Way
      



Making:
An effort to take more photos. I rarely in the last few years have taken many photos and would like to start capturing memories again. Here's a few that I have taken recently:
How cute is he? 
Shinedown was so personable in their performance. 10/10 would recommend if you love their music :)

The last few are of Cooper. Cuteness alert... you have allll been warned. 



Accomplishing: 
Does getting over the stomach bug count? Because besides that, not too much is getting done over here. Here's to hoping the rest of the month is much more productive. First thing on my list when I can actually move: sanitizing EVERYTHING.

That's all for me today, friends. Thanks again to Anne for hosting this fun link-up! I hope to join in on many more in the future. What are some of your current happenings?

      Thank you! He is a Chihuahua Schitzu mix with sometimes way too much personality haha.
      I am really enjoying the book so far! She is definitely a go to author for something light and cute to read!
      Thanks so much for commenting!

    Ooh, love a good book haul. Where'd You Go Bernadette is such a fun one. And I love scheming about remodels too - I've been bookmarking bathroom ideas for a while, so we'll see if we can make that happen.... Thanks for linking up!

      I'm really looking forward to Bernadette! When I saw there was going to be a movie adaptation it definitely moved up on my to read list.
      Remodeling plans are so so much fun- more fun than that actual remodel as well. Hope your remodel goes well.
      Thank you for hosting! It's a really fun link up :)

    I used to take photos all the time; I really need to get back into that. I also want to read Bernadette before the movie (hopefully).

      Me too! I think I took the "live in the moment" thing a bit too far, because now I can't remember any of them lol. I'm trying to take just 1 or 2 meaningful photos per event, and not get carried away. It's annoying when people are just experiencing life through their camera screen, and I don't want to get back to that!
      I love that more movie adaptations are coming out. I really feel like its getting people to read more!

Friday Favorites! A hodge podge of random things

The other day I was going through Goodreads, picking out books I wanted to add to my library wishlist (I always say, searching for books is a completely separate hobby from reading, lol!). I came across Fredrick Bachman's newest release,  Anxious People . I always look at the quotes page to see if I vibe with the author's writing style. Man, does this book have some nuggets of wisdom! There are so many poignant quotes. This one resonated with me, just thinking about how overwhelming life can get when all those little things pile up: "Because the terrible thing about becoming an adult is being forced to realize that absolutely nobody cares about us, we have to deal with everything ourselves now, find out how the whole world works. Work and pay bills, use dental floss and get to meetings on time, stand in line and fill out forms, come to grips with cables and put furniture together, change tires on the car and charge the phone and switch the coffee machine off and not forget

coffee chat

If you and I had coffee, we would likely get a table outside. Mask mandates have been lifted here, so we would be able to feel a bit "normal" while sitting at a coffee shop with our drinks. I would probably put way too much creamer or syrup in my coffee, and you'd tease me and ask if I want some coffee with my cream. I'd roll my eyes but laugh because you're right. I love me a good indulgent coffee. It's the one "unhealthy" thing I won't budge on.  We would catch up, since it's probably been a really long time since we have gotten together in person. We'd agree that while facetime/ Zoom chats were an okay substitute, nothing compares to face-to-face girl time.  I'd tell you about how the weight on my shoulders feels a bit less "heavy" even though every now and again there are still some really dark days. I would admit that though they don't come as frequently anymore, they do come out of the blue. I'd talk about how

This week's favorites

Hello Friday, we meet again! Man am I glad it's the weekend. Let's talk favorites, shall we?  My meal plan this week has been one of my favorites so far. It was super delicious and had really easy recipes! This week's lineup was: tacos, beef stir fry, chicken and broccoli casserole, homemade pizza, teriyaki chicken and veggies, and fajitas. I love that the meals we chose had only a few, really simple ingredients that are pantry staples, which made my grocery bill very reasonable. I also tried out a new recipe this week- slow cooker chicken and stuffing and it was so delicious. I made it for myself when Val went out for guys' night- he doesn't eat stuffing so I took advantage of him being out of the house haha. Speaking of meal plans, I purchased a meal planning kit from Passionate Penny Pincher . It comes with 12 weeks of recipes, 72 meal cards, reusable grocery lists, some blank recipe cards, and a recipe box. It was on sale and I think it will be a worthwhile inv
