Currently September 2020

Currently September 2020

September was weird, filled with some ups and downs.  Cooper’s school started back up.  We are glad to have Cooper back in school so we can work from home with less distraction. It’s been tough to juggle it all!  We have had so many fires here in California that it makes every day unpredictable. When you’re stuck at home AND cannot go outside because of the air, it’s really a big bummer.  Another bummer is that another one of my good friends moved out of California and that makes me so sad. Life is just not the same as it was! 

Here’s my September spread from my Currently Workbook.

Time to write down our Intentions for the Week! Here they are:

Hand Roll Sushi Night

What are the best dinners for any family/household with picky eaters? Ones where you get to choose your own adventure!  During my childhood, I looked forward to taco night and burger night because my Mom laid out a bunch of ingredients and we all could play chefs and make exactly what we wanted.  With the help of gimMe Snacks organic seaweed sheets, we are adding a new choose your own adventure meal to the rotation- Hand Roll Sushi Night!

I would have dreamed about a dinner like this when I was a kid. However, my Mom wasn’t a huge sushi fan and she probably wouldn’t have the patience for how much of the seafood my brothers took compared to her… This kind of meal is perfect for my family of three. I love how healthy everything is and it’s a great way to get some (sea) vegetables into our everyday life.

Let me show you what’s involved!

Here! I made us a reference guide!
