Last night we finished this book
I mentioned it earlier -- but I have really been enjoying these Peonies all week long.

On a stormy night this week, I combined a few recipes on hand and made some yummy Stroganoff.

Consciously paused and played, something I really want to do that more often. Our daughter is such a ham as you can see below eating an ice cream cone after swimming. We did lots of fun activities this week -- soccer, crafts, trips to the bookstore and multiple stops to get more ice cream cones.

Also thanks to some twitter friends I found out I am in July's issue of Lucky Magazine this week.
Have a most wonderful weekend my dears!
