reading The Hypnotist's Love Story. I just finished it for book club and I'd have to say I'm a fan. My favorite recent book, though, was Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. It was so good but it left me feeling pretty bummed that the series is, yet again, over. 

dreaming of painting our front door the perfect shade of green. I'm thinking something like this.

starting to think about our family Halloween costumes!

watching Orange is the New Black.

working out the details of a new playgroup I am putting together for Nico.

looking forward to Fall. I'm ready to cozy up the house and fill the front porch with potted mums and  pumpkins.

working on the last semester of my Associate's degree. It's almost crunch time to figure out what my next step is!

cleaning out closets! Trying to declutter and freshen up our space.

sticking to our newly instated routine again. Nap time is a happy time!

Crafting... a twine covered planter. Which was just my way of quickly covering a cheap store pot because I'd probably kill the mum if I tried to repot it!

Reading... Me Before You. This was this month's book club pick and I've yet to finish it. I'm bummed that reading has been pushed down on the totem pole but I carry the book around anyways hoping for a few minutes to escape.

Cramming... all. the. time. My course load is no joke and I feel like I'm constantly buried in my macbook and reading long chapters on history and countless poems that I don't understand.

Packing for... a girl's weekend trip at the beach!

Pining for... Fall! Plaid and gingham and oxfords. Pumpkins and costumes. It's all so dreamy...

Nostalgic for... the days when Lia was a tiny babe. 

Trying out... a new weekly routine. Things are weird and busy and my mind is craving to feel put together.

Spending... a lot of time in the car. Since becoming a school mom, I feel more like a chauffeur then ever.

Catching up... with blog posts! 

Feeling... like a big ball of anxiety most days.

Loving... my little family that is keeping me grounded on even the most crazy days.

Reading... I just finished Still Alice and I really liked it. I've got a stack from the library and I'm still choosing my next book.

Pinning... these words and this cake (because I've got to plan a birthday in the next 6 months!).

Listening to... the Pitch Perfect channel on Pandora. I'm pretty excited there's going to be a third movie.

Picking out... a backpack for Lia!

Watching... The Astronaut Wives Club. We're officially hooked!

Thinking about... going back to school. It feels kind of crazy and scary, mostly in good ways.

Checking off... items from our summer manifesto.

Happy... to be settled back in home for good (for a few weeks anyways).

Wearing... a new favorite maxi skirt.

Sitting back in awe... at how fast these kids are growing. Lia starts kindergarten in a few weeks and Nico changes daily.

Dreaming of.... Fall. It's around the corner, I just know it. And while, I'm sure the heat isn't leaving us anytime soon, my mind is full of caramel candles, all things back-to-school, You've Got Mail, cardigans for my babes and crunchy leaves.

Watching... The Good Wife. M and I have been catching up on episodes on the sofa every night after the kids are tucked in bed. I have mixed emotions about this season but I'm still pretty excited for new episodes this Fall.

Spending lots of time... in the pediatrician's office. Sick visits, well visits, shot visits. And a few phone calls for good measure. 

Pinning... this marinade (for a great grilled chicken breast) and this emerald wall.

Dreaming... of writing a children's book.

Missing... our girl while she spends part of her summer at her grandparents.

But, taking advantage of the extra time by... cleaning. Summer has not been kind to our house. The messier our house, the messier my mind.

Reading... MWF Seeking BFF.

Working through... a hard parenting week.

Loving... the sunshine.

Not so crazy... about the heat!

Excited for... this ring sling to ship.

Feeling... happily exhausted.

Pinning... this fun toy and striped walls (because I can't ever stop).

Impatiently waiting... for the new seasons of Scandal and Orange is the New Black to hit Netflix!

Busy... mothering and taking care of our home. It's an exhausting busy but one I wouldn't trade for the world.

Pining over... this bowl.

Wearing... a favorite striped dress and all the slouchy boyfriend tees.

Thankful... for nights full of sleep. It's not every night, but man when that babe sleeps, it's amazing.

While it's technically June, I'm pretending it isn't and playing a little catch-up!

Watching... The Good Wife. I'm catching up on past seasons and I'm addicted, to say the least.


Reading... City of Heavenly Fire. It's the last book in The Mortal Instruments series.

Celebrating... the start of Summer, L's last soccer game, and later this weekend we'll be celebrating my nephew. He's graduating high school!

Loving... the color gray. We're slowly painting most of the walls in the house the sweetest gray. It looks so crisp and clean!

Putting off... everything that isn't a must-do.

Looking forward to... our trip to New York in a few weeks.

Making... time for naps.

Proud of... our girl. Mothering her is delicate work some days but watching her blossom is the most rewarding.

Back... into weekly library trips. And filling up the largest bag we have full of books!
