Friday! You have arrived. This weekend is looking like it might be full, but with a lot of different stuff than usual. But I am looking forward to a change of pace.
I love reading but I don't often go to the library because there are too many books to choose from. Preferably I like to read books with a good recommendation or an author that I am familiar with. While perusing the shelves, I noticed this book that I remembered vaguely hearing about once. Luckily I gave it a shot. It is not finished yet, but it has stirred some thoughts for me to process through. Read a little of my thoughts here and here.
2. My husband is a music guy. It is what he does. And lately has been playing this song on repeat. Especially with Easter coming up, this song has really gotten me excited. I love the passion and joy in it.
3. Cooking... I love cooking. It is a creative outlet for me. Plus, picking up food is too easy. I like the idea of making something. However, we are normally running all over the place on week night, and weekends too if I am honest. But this week, we were able to make a few homemade meals. A friend on mine posted about this one from crumbs and coffee on her instagram story. We tried it, with a few modifications based on what we had on hand. It was pretty fabulous. I highly recommend it!
4. Coffee Dates
As I mentioned before, Valentine's Day is shared with my husband's birthday here. So on Saturday, we woke up and he told me that my Valentine's date was a reading date at a favorite coffee shop. I felt so known and loved. The gift of time is one of my favorites.
