My Everyday Life Week 12

Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 12

Nature is DELIVERING here in California. 

Went on a walk with Casey and it was dreamy!

Strawberry season is here too!

What carried us through the week + stuff from the freezer!

Slow cooker pulled pork meat nachos!

And Tacos.

I also made black beans in my Instant pot and had burrito bowls!

What I accomplished last Sunday.

I brought this plant back to life in the front.

Trouble awaits.

GROWING!

Sparkles on the water. It’s pretty magical!

I am also going through a breakfast burrito phase…

Checking on my wisteria.

A canopy of Japanese maple leaves.

On a walk with Neiley. 

Lemon Garlic Roasted Shrimp for the win!

Zeppelin!

I am so fascinated by how dogs greet each other. Every exchange is so different.

The only way I can make my legs look longer. 

Night night boo boo. 

Had lunch with Heather!

Mrs. T was one of my childhood heroes! 

Research at Annie’s. 

WOWWWWWWW

This color was magical. 

Wisteria bloomed this week!

And we’re getting these tiny purple wildflowers all over. 

Write yourself a note on the mirror. Fill it in with shower steam. 

And suddenly everything starts greening up. 

San Anselmo is cute. 

Hunting for treasures. 

TREASURES. 

Sad I didn’t leave with this. 

Convert Studio tag sale!

Trying to decide what to drink..

Thank you for the beautiful earrings you named after me, Ella! 

Lemon Garlic Roasted Shrimp

A corner I stare at when I’m sitting on the couch. 

A reminder we all could use right now. I’m glad I randomly opened to this page.

Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

This is the time of year when I start really thinking about brunch food. It’s probably because Easter is the biggest brunch holiday in my family and I’ve added this Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake to my repertoire. 

Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

An almondy cake base with a cream cheese raspberry filling and a crumb mixture made with slivered almonds and buttery crumbs???

Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

I am definitely going to have a hard time not picking at this cake ALL WEEK LONG. 

Time to share some with neighbor friends!

Happy Monday, friends!

We had some baseball this weekend, I cleaned out the inside of my car! (it’s actually one of my favorite things to do) and finally got some packages out to friends I’ve been lagging on. Feels good to have that done! I also did some meal prep this weekend. Here’s what we are starting the week with:

Spring Bucket List 2021

Spring Bucket List 2021- Shutterbean.com

I started making this Spring Bucket List last year with the intention of sharing it, but COVID happened and everything changed. We spent a lot of time at home. I spent a lot of time in my yard. Spring slowed down for a bit and we were able to soak it in with a slower pace of life. 

Spring Bucket List 2021- Shutterbean.com

My word for 2020 was GROW and I took that seriously with my garden. Here’s what I drew in the Spring section of my Currently Workbook last year. 

This is what I am working with this year with my Spring Bucket List. Hopefully, things will progress here in California and we will be able to have more freedom back in our life after lockdown. 

It will be so nice to be able to look forward to things again.
