My Everyday Life: Week 33

Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 33:

Hello from Tahoe!

This is our view this week.

We’re in vacation mode.

I brought some of my favorite art supplies so I can paint in the mornings.

Morning cuddles.

It’s been relaxing!

We met a dog named Luna.

This picture made me laugh.

Papa + Cooper

I re-read the yellow wallpaper this week. I remember it really making an impact on me when I was younger. I think it’s because I grew up with yellow wallpaper in my room that I hated.

The transition from bright outdoors into dark bars is always weird.

I saw a little heart in the clouds.

Peanut Butter + Chocolate fro yo.

We’ve been playing Pay Day this week. It’s been so good for Cooper!

Snack dinner.

Morning walk.

Working on the backlog of penpal letters.

In the car…plus a sharpie…

Vietnamese in Reno.

Pika pika.

We love playing the quarter game at Circus Circus.

S U P E R

He won almost 1500 tickets.

We went bowling and Cooper and I had orange bowling balls.

Painting + cocktails

I’ve been eating a lot of peanut butter lately.

TACO NIGHT

Chocolate dipped cone!

This is 38! Thank you for all of the birthday wishes.

Mother daughter.

Birthday cocktails.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

Complete with an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen.

Been waking up early this trip. I am hoping it becomes a new habit.

Every morning, I do word searches with my coffee. This morning my Dad gave me a pep talk while doing so.

Joy sent my family bagels + lox + cream cheese from NYC for my birthday!

WHAT A TREAT!!!!!

On a morning walk with Casey.

My heart.

It rained in Tahoe today. It smells so good when it rains here!

Rainbow!

Followed by Date Night!

In September, I might do another round of Whole30. Wanna do it with me?

Hello! I enjoy your blog and had to comment because I stayed in that exact same house during my Tahoe Donner wedding weekend a few years back! Still dreaming about that view 🙂 Hope you enjoyed your birthday.

Happy Birthday Tracy!! It looks like you had a great birthday…. I mean you did have an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen after all!
Your mention of Whole30 inspired me. I’ve been wanting to do a reset of my diet and that might be just the ticket. I’ll just be over here scrolling your blog and the internet for all things Whole30! As always thanks for the inspiration! 🙂

Oh my goodness…Pay Day was my absolute favorite board game to play when I was younger. I played that game SO MANY TIMES. Thanks for bringing back some good memories.

The dress you wore on your birthday (saw it on your Instagram stories) is SO beautiful on you. Like it was made for you. I hope your birthday was fabulous.

As always, love, love, love your photos.

Looks like you’ve stayed in that house before. Is that a vrbo or airbnb rental? The deck is gorgeous.

I loved Pay Day when I was a kid too! There was something so exciting about getting mail and having to pay bills. Now as an adult I am still excited to pick up the mail but for some reason paying bills is not nearly as much fun as it was then.

I am with you on eating all the peanut butter. I try to justify it in my brain that I am nursing a 10 week old and really I need it which leads to me eating it my the spoonful when I want a snack.

Happy Birthday to you! Cannot wait to see what year 38 brings you!

Loved this little peek into your week! Your insta stories and recaps here have inspired me to spend more time investing in replentishing my own store of creavity this fall. It may not be through painting or coloring, but I want to do better about taking a couple minutes each morning to reinvest in myself.

I totally reread “The Yellow Wallpaper” on my vacation this year too! I downloaded a 99 cent horror anthology on my Kindle and read it while in Colorado 🙂

Happiest Birthday! I’m in on the Whole30 for sure. AFTER I celebrate my birthday on the 3rd, of course. 🙂

I was thinking of doing Whole30 in October. We’re in Italy the last 2 weeks of September so I’m eating all the carbs and drinking all the wine there.

  I went to a weight watchers meeting a few years ago and this woman was talking about how she went to Italy and was on WW and how well she did. All I could think about was HOW COULD YOU???!!! Like, when in Rome, yo!

Your photos are beautiful and it looks like you had a great trip. I was in Tahoe in January and it looked a bit different. 🙂 I’ve never seen that much snow in my life.

I just want you to know how much I enjoy reading your blog. I love the way you weave your life into sharing recipes and inspirational content. I first found your blog when another blog linked your recipe for the Creamy Artichoke Pizza. That recipe has become my go-to when I crave pizza. Thank you for sharing your talents and your life!

I totally want to do a Whole30 again, especially since engagement pictures are October 8th! I feel unprepared though. I can aim to do a partial one (usually cut out sugar and carbs a little bit)! 🙂

  Whatever works for you!! 🙂
