A Week in the Life, Vol 23.
Can’t believe we’re 23 weeks in!
We had such a gorgeous week, weather wise. It called for rain a few times but it held off. It has been beautiful out!
This little babe is such a ray of sunshine.
We went to the zoo drive thru! It was fun and I’m glad we did it because they are open now. It was difficult to see everything since you couldn’t get super close, but driving 1mph through was pretty cool.
We did get super close to the giraffes. So pretty.
Max got to hang out with one of this friends this week which was wonderful. But it was the first time he was away from Emilia in months. He actually cried on the way over because we didn’t take her. It broke my heart! He did make her this lego bracelet and she has barely taken off since.
This salad reminds me of a gross cafeteria chef salad (haha) but it was SO good. Just local lettuce, tomatoes, shallot, peppers, sunflower seeds, hard boiled eggs, tillamook italian cheese blend and bagged croutons. Yep.
Homemade chalk paint!
When I do makeup, she does makeup. It’s adorable.
We’re also still accessorizing over here!
Adore.
The peonies from last week are still hanging on!
Emilia found a sharpie of my mom’s and drew all over her hands and face. That was great. See the streak on her cheek?!
How gorgeous is this cake?! Went to a friends bach party/shower and this was show stopping. It was also DELICIOUS. Her wedding was pushed back because of the pandemic. And I haven’t mentioned it yet but my brother and his fiance have also postponed their wedding (it was in july) until next year. Such a bummer.
I mean, is this heaven?
Legos in our house 24/7. Even Emilia is great at them!
Smoothie bowls are a highlight.
Hello cutie.
We also got mexican food one night! Best.
Played outside nonstop.
This ice cream cone was wonderful, until half way through I PULLED A HAIR OUT OF IT. Yes. I’m still having nightmares.
Hopefully theirs was hair free. No complaints from them.
This dinner on repeat – grilled chicken, grilled mushrooms, zucchini and asparagus. All olive oil, salt, pepper, balsamic. SO good.
And we finally got to go strawberry picking!
They accidentally took us to the wrong field to pick in, so we basically had the place to ourselves. It was amazing.
This was by far the best year of picking, probably because Emilia is so much more independent now. We had such a lovely time.
Max was SO excited about it.
And we got strawberry donuts after!
Came home and binged on strawberries all afternoon.
I mean… don’t worry. Making a ton of recipes this week.
I haven’t given you an update on my sourdough starter! It’s still alive and well. Doing great actually. I haven’t attempted another bake in a few weeks since my dishwasher was broken – trying to avoid all necessary dishes! But I’m ready now.

Hi Jessica. It looks like everyone had a really good week and a big thank you to Eddie for getting Mexican food this week since you said last week he was pretty much over it! I love your watch band!! Stay safe, happy, and healthy!
You must have the most colorful driveway in town! It’s so great that you have a record of all of their artwork in pictures. Sometimes we forget how creative kids can be. That giraffe is spectacular – hair in the ice cream, not so much – ew!
I love that the kids are exposed to such a variety of activities with no screens in front of their faces – yay for you making all that possible. I truly think that they remember the time spent with them rather than being entertained by an outside source. Can’t wait for the strawberry recipes because I also just bought a ton of them. Have a wonderful week…
WHERE IS THE SUSHI FROM?!!!! Sorry for yelling, but aside from a draft beer all I want is sushi
Oh, my daughter pushed her July wedding until next year as well. She is actually still going to get married this July 24th in the church, with just a few people. Then immediate family and bridal party at my house for a backyard reception! So I get to pay for two receptions now! But she’s my only daughter and I will do anything for her!
i love the driveway art but the ice cream
hair surprise? totally gross!!! sanitary
practices fell waaaay short in that shop.
that would be my last time eating ice cream…
or anything there.
What a fun week! Are you bringing back Summer Fridays this year? Please, please, please.
YES!! starts this friday!
About your ice cream nightmare: I would never be right again. Also, I probably would have gone back and requested a new cone. And would have watched to make sure the person dishing it up had at least 2 hair nets on. Or a pantyhose leg. Whatever it takes!
My daughter just turned 10 and only recently stopped calling Sharpies “bad pens” after a similar incident when she was Emilia’s age!
Omg! I want to face plant into that sushi platter! That’s wasn’t just for your family, or was it? The 4 of us could probably devour it😂🍣
I gave up on my sourdough so long ago, but every time you post about yours it makes me want to try again! Maybe now that the world is opening up a little I won’t be so hesitant to run out of flour!
