lately

I took an impromptu blog break. We're feeling very summery around here and just trying to get into the rhythm. A little of what I've been doing:
:: eating leftover birthday cake--love that about a birthday.
::eating lots of this chicken salad. I love it and so does little Rainer--he eats it up, even with all that onion and garlic in there!
::trying to make an iced tea concentrate like Angry Chicken posted about the other day. It's hard to make it as strong as she seems to do . . . still trying.
::having little backyard "outings" with the boys.
::starting my nature journal a little bit.
::playing blocks with the boys.
::being inspired by my new Soulemama postcards.

Happy summering everyone!

I really wanted to order those postcards, but I was a bit late to the store! It looks like your days are perfectly summery lately!

You have a beautiful family and your blog is so inspirational to me. And I am drooling over the cake and chicken salad. Yummy!

So much summery loveliness at your place! I love the picture of the boys outside on the quilt and the art journal. Is that the art supplies holder from A Toy Garden? I've been seriously considering getting that for our art shelf here.

ooooooh, that cake looks divine! I think I like it better leftover. I may have to borrow the idea of the nature journal, thank you!

Jessica--I pounced on those cards the instant she listed them. They are so lovely and inspiring!

Joy--yes, it's the same one but I got mine from Magic Cabin. The boys love it and it really does help keep us organized.
