I’m trying to carve a bit of rest out of the morning, though there’s a lot going on in terms the whole work- and school-from-home situation and in the wider world. I’ve been quiet on here the past few weeks getting ready to launch the redesign of the site: ta da!
As part of the building and design process, I’m incorporating a newsletter, so sign-up if you want in on the first one going out before the end of the week.
What I’ve Been Reading Recently:
It’s a lighter list today, but I’m including some of the interesting links from the week below.
Eight types of self care.
If you didn’t already know, we are working more when we work from home.
About a week ago, my social feeds were filled (when not about RBG, racism, or climate change) by these links, sigh: this cartoon, divorce made one woman’s marriage equal
Charlotte made a ton of outfits this summer with colored paper and tape, so I was super interested when I saw this: Karina Sharif is a fashion designer who makes tops out of paper.
We’re also reading Make Way for Ducklings on repeat (when we’re not reading the Ladybug Girl books on repeat), and the Boston Public Library has this: Sketchbooks for Make Way for Ducklings
What I’ve Been Cooking This Week:
Sunday: Chicken roasted with thyme & capers, potatoes, and green beans
Monday: Broccoli + sausage pasta with Trader Joe’s kale slaw on the side
Tuesday: Leftovers
Wednesday: Pumpkin curry (from Trader Joe’s) with rice, cauliflower and bell peppers
Thursday: Leftovers
Friday: Take-out pizza
Saturday: Lemon cod with pearl cous cous and kale salad
I also made Joy the Baker’s amazing sweet potato pie. Seriously, the recipe calls for a tablespoon of vanilla, which is just so perfect.
Coming up this week:
- Breakfast for dinner (a perennial request from Charlotte): waffles
- Quesadillas
- Some kind of pasta bake
