Here’s what this past week looked like – My Everyday Life Week 40
MY BABY IS 10!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy BIRTHDAY COOPER!
I made rice krispy treats for his class like I always do, per his request!
Baseball birthday party!
Lots of food at the Flatiron
I dried all the leftover peppers my brother gave me.
If you’re curious about dehydration, here’s a post about it.

Goodbye September, HELLO OCTOBER!
This month was a busy one. It also felt kinda long? We’re back into school. We’re into the swing of things! My brother and his wife moved to San Francisco. YAY!!!!!!!!!!! Cooper had a few baseball tournaments that took us away for a few weekends. I had quite a few social commitments, met my dad’s girlfriend and worked myself out of a funk. Being around positive people HELPS.
My grief doesn’t take up as much space in my brain as it used to. But when it hits, IT HITS. One of the side effects of sharing my journey online is that I get a lot of messages from people dealing with a loss as well. I am so honored that I am able to help someone else’s journey by sharing mine. It’s just that sometimes I find myself pulled back into grief (after having a period of feeling OK) when someone messages me about their grief. It’s a good problem to have, I guess. Focusing on helping others helps. We all need to be reminded that our life on this Earth is limited. Let’s not waste it.
Happy Monday, friends!
This weekend was fun AND productive. We had a date night! Cooper had a sleepover and we went out to dinner. It was nice to have some quality time and no solid plans. A lazy morning just the two of us was needed after having baseball two weekends in a row.
On the productive frton, I helped my friend clean out her pantry:
The best part is that I WAS ON A ROLL. Working in someone else’s space made me go on a cleaning/organizing binge when I got home. We cleaned out the garage, cleaned the inside of my car, organized the kitchen and started laundry. It feels so good to start the week with a clean car.
Note to self: add vacuum out the car to Cooper’s chore list. He rocked it!
Need a project done? See if you can barter with your friend! My friend is going to help me with gardening now. Need to get focused? Set a 20-minute timer and challenge yourself.
This week I am headed to New Mexico for a wedding.
Got any food recommendations for Santa Fe? Let me have them!
I have a lot to do before then.
Cooper turns TEN on Tuesday! Gotta make him some treats and CELEBRATE!
Let’s get my Intentions for the Week to start to mentally prepare me for all I have to do. HERE WE GO
Feeling lost? Start with a TO DO LIST! Write down your Intentions for the Week to hold you accountable for ACTION!
Have a great week. I’m rooting for you.

Here’s what this past week looked like: My Everyday Life Week 39
What a stressful/emotional week. I’m grateful for little patches of light in the midst of it all.
Took a trip to the library. Mill Valley is lucky to call this one theirs.
When the light is just right.
Travel baseball!
Made sausage soup for the family at my parent’s house.
Lemon Garlic Roasted Shrimp with rice!
The way to my heart? Vegetables and greens.
I know, I’m a rare bird.
The way to my husband’s heart is pasta.
Preferably creamy pasta.
I was thumbing through my copy of Back Pocket Pasta
This pasta comes together so fast with the simplest ingredients. Plus it marries our two loves together. Greens and creamy pasta. Match made in heaven, I say!
Put this one in the TO DO list for a quick weeknight supper. Trust!
