Good morning ladies (and gentleman? I think I'm speaking just to my husband and possibly my brother here. ;)). How was your weekend?
I mentioned on Friday morning that it had started snowing, and by Friday afternoon it turned into a full-blown snow day. The girls played outside for a while -- their favorite new thing is eating snow. I cringe a little, but I remember doing that as a kid, so... let them be little, right? Friday night Steve and I headed into the city (Philadelphia) to surprise one of my friends for her birthday! Her husband totally pulled this off and it was so fun to celebrate her at a yummy latin restaurant (and to have a little date night).
H has the right idea about the weekend. Hair up, pjs on, cookies in hand.
Saturday was pretty low key. My in-laws were here in the morning, so we hung out and played and then after dinner Hadley and I snuck out to do some shopping and brought milk shakes home for Steve and C. Sunday morning I picked up a bridal shower gift at Bed, Bath & Beyond and then we mostly hung out and played, cleaned, etc. After H's nap we took the girls to the book store for a little bit. It's one of our favorite things to do, especially on a rainy day!
As with all things technology, I'm very late to the game on this but I finally downloaded the Kindle app onto our iPad and flew through a book this weekend -- Verity, thanks to Danielle's recommendation. Last night I downloaded Where the Crawdads Sing, which has received such phenomenal reviews, so I'm really excited to get started on it. I love reading (and love feeling a book in my hands), but I'm finding the Kindle app to be SO much easier, cheaper, and overall more realistic right now. Such a nice way to wind down at night! I was thinking of doing a book review with some recent books I've read -- any interest?
On to this week's menu:
Sunday - Kielbasa, macaroni & cheese and peas
Monday - Baked potatoes with broccoli, melted cheese and bacon
Tuesday - Tikka masala chicken with rice and leftover broccoli
Wednesday - Chicken enchilada soup in the crockpot
Thursday - Leftovers
Friday - Pizza & caesar salad
Saturday - Out!
Hope your Monday is off to a good start. We've got this!
I am soooo glad you liked Verity and downloaded the kindle app. Your meals this week sound amazing. I am glad it wasn't a crazy storm like they thought it would be. I am over the cold weather.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a game changer and it's only been a couple of days! Thanks for the great book rec! I am SO over the cold weather and can't wait for all things SPRING. :)
DeleteI need to just copy and paste your meal plan into my calendar for next week, do you have a favorite chicken enchilada soup recipe!?
ReplyDeleteHaha! :) I do have a favorite -- here's the one I always make, it couldn't be easier: https://lmld.org/slow-cooker-chicken-enchilada-soup/ ...Let me know if you try it!
DeleteKindle on the ipad is a game changer for sure!! xo, Biana-BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteIt really is! Not sure why I am always about a decade behind everybody with this stuff, LOL.
DeleteI love traveling with my Kindle. I still love a real book, but you can't beat the lightweight convenience of the Kindle. I really enjoyed Where the Crawdads Sing! Thanks for linking up with Hello Monday! Tanya - The Other Side of the Road
ReplyDeleteI completely agree - the convenience is key! I can't wait to dive into Where the Crawdads Sing -- glad to hear your positive review. :) Hope your week is going well!
DeleteHope you've been having a great week! The boys were so excited for the snow on Friday and then we got more on Monday. They're also into eating it. Eeek not my favorite thing either. Sierra Beautifully Candid
ReplyDeleteHaha, it's something most kids just can't resist, I guess! Hope you guys had a great week too, xo
