An area that my parents excelled at during my childhood was weekly rituals. Those bits and pieces of our weekly schedules that happened every week, no matter what–whether it was certain meals, activities, or even lack of plans/free time.
In elementary school, I always loved getting out of school on Fridays because I knew it was Pizza Night (well, breadstick night for my picky self) at our house. And, my sister and I would get to play uninterrupted for a couple of hours after dinner whilst our parents chatted over wine.

This is going to be a bit of a different “life lately” post than normal as I’m only wanting to touch on a few topics (but more in-depth than previous posts). We’ve been busy over the summer and I’ve finally found the motivation to get back to writing with the arrival of cooler weather.

My sincere apologies for the long absence. I’m afraid I’ve had a serious case of the summertime blah’s (does anyone else hate hot weather? And this year we’ve got choking wildfire smoke to boot!). I’ve started so many post drafts but the words come to me like molasses, and I get frustrated and ditch the post before I’ve really gotten into it.
Anyways… I’ve challenged myself to start July off strong with an easy(ish) post to write: my June favorite things! So let’s chat lifestyle.… Read More »
