Hooray for making it through another week! This was our first "normal" 5 day week of the year. It was hectic, but it's done. What are you up to this weekend? I'm in the mood for another dreamy/practical list.
Dreamy
:: drink coffee with half and half in the morning and lots of cucumber water the rest of the day
:: go to Saturday morning yoga class
:: plant a calla lilly bulb with the boys (I bought a kit at Trader Joe's today)
:: make waffles
:: take a day trip to Santa Barbara (zoo? natural history? art museum?)
:: read my current book (I'm reading this and I'm really enjoying it)
:: give myself a home pedicure
Practical
:: do a big clean-out of the pantry. I'm looking forward to this, actually.
:: car wash Sunday with Rainer. It's our routine now, since I got the new car
:: laundry!
:: home routines. This week's zone is the kitchen.
What's on your list?

now I'm wondering what you use to clean with. We've been switching to more natural cleaners, but sometimes I feel I still need the big guns and get the not so healthy stuff, too. What do you like?
Sounds like the perfect balance of dreamy & practical. I wish there was a yoga class near me. I'm going to have to look into this.
We have 2 boys with soccer games today and a homeschool picnic later today. Tomorrow will hopefully be more relaxing with a NYT and lots of coffee after mass.
Blessings.
After having spent a hectic Saturday with cleaning, I am still wondering how you do it all...
Plans were cleaning, laundry, shop for clothes and eat a vegan lunch. Still wondering how to get that done. But the pantry is clean!

I love your dreamy::practical series and you really seem to have great work/life balance
On a random note, I'm looking for some now blogs....I just love your mellow, peaceful but still realistic posts like this. Any blog recs that have some similar attributes?
You guys--thank you so much for the very sweet comments. You are totally making me smile!
Sarah--I used to make all my own natural cleaners and I was very hard core about it. Now I'm much more mellow and I buy Bon Ami to scrub the sinks and I buy toilet bowl cleaner for the toilets. It works for me.
Rain--the soccer circuit sounds fun but also exhausting. I hope you had fun!
Gabi--I visited your blog! I honestly don't "do it all." I have very low standards for my house cleanliness. I wish it were cleaner at all times, but I just can't manage it. I'd much rather enjoy the family while the boys are still little.
Denise--thank you so much!
Katie--this is such a great question. I will post about it!
