August Favorites

August 26, 2020 /

My favorite this month are experiences! It makes me feel good that we are spending time together and having fun!

Day Date with my Hubby

The last couple of weeks, my husband and I have been able to escape for an hour or so without the children and enjoy some time together. It might look like an trip to Home Depot or a hike up a  mountain. We are planning a trip to a winery this weekend for our anniversary if weather permits. I will stop by the French bakery and pick up some croissants and pains au chocolat for breakfast, a baguette to make sandwiches for lunch and my favorite white chocolate raspberry pound cake for a weekend dessert. I think I might need to make sure not to skip any runs next week.

Weekly Runs and Walks

I can’t say it enough: I am loving my runs and walks. I only run 2 miles 3 times a week and walk 4-5 days for 45 minutes. I feel so good when I do that I try to not take more than a day off. I love the scenery in the am on my way to my runs. The sunrises, the fog, it is so pretty.

Bread Making

It had been too long since my last time baking bread! I hope to make one a week at least! I have yeast, I have flour, I can make bread! This crusty loaf was delicious!

Our New Pergola

We hired our neighbor to build us a pergola and are so pleased with it! It makes our outdoor space so special! We added lights, but I do need to spray paint my furniture (we eventually will get something larger since this is a 4 chair set and there are 6 of us) and pressure wash the concrete.

Kite Flying

I bought some kites in the clearance section at Kroger a few weeks ago and we pulled them out this week. We usually have a lot of wind in our yard so I had high hopes. All the boys from the littlest to the oldest loved flying them and will need more practice as well as mommy and daddy. It was a lot of fun!

A bientôt!
