witnessing Ellerie learn to crawl!

thanking Apple for inventing FaceTime.

eating this salad (so excellent – but I recommend increasing the dressing!)

completing some eCourse content.

clearing out my office cupboards.

re-watching old Parks & Rec episodes and…

crying from laughing so hard at Ben's clamation video.

designing invites for a sweet friend's bachelorette party.

scheduling new podcast interviews.

taking Ellerie on all the errands.

feeling grateful that she is so willing to go-with-the-flow.

getting back into running (very, very slowly).

wearing my new ball cap in khaki.

needing to get to the library.

signing up for a pottery class! (it starts in June!)

loving these two twinsies.

    Have fun in pottery! I started taking a pottery class about seven years ago (I just take one class a year in the fall) and absolutely love it! It’s so mind-intriguing yet calming. Such a sense if satisfaction that first time you make something on the wheel that doesn’t collapse… Even better after it’s glazed and you’re using it at home.
    One of the first mugs I made was so heavy and so warpy that it’s hard to drink out of. Yet, my dear husband thinks it’s so funny to occasionally drink out of it still.
    Enjoy and let the clay take you where it may!! 🙂

    I can’t get the salad link to work? Maybe I can search the site by the name of the salad? I’m always on the lookout for yummy salads!

    I’ve been looking for a pottery class where I live but I can’t seem to find one that suits time at the moment.
    So I’m going to do something else for now and do the pottery later.
    I wish I had kept up art at school because they had a kiln and I loved pottery then.
    Enjoy your class.
    P.s. That miss Ellerie gets more adorable every single day.

    Yes! I made the kale salad and basically doubled the dressing. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. It’s delicious and will be a go to salad for me.
