August Currently

I am excited to be participating in Anne and Jenna’s monthly Currently link-up for the first time this month.  Currently I am:

Creating:  lists of all sorts!  We are leaving for Disney in about two and a half weeks.  I’m trying to plan/buy some things to occupy the kids for the very long car trip.  I am also trying to figure out what we need to pack/buy before we go.  And then of course there’s the lists of foods that we need to eat while we are there!

Wishlisting:  Can you believe that I can write nothing at the moment?!!!  I can’t think about fall clothes at the moment even though the stores are full of back-to-school stuff.  Possibly some home décor stuff since we really need to get on top of that.  We’ve been in our house nine years and some of our walls are still bare!!  I need to start checking Pinterest to get some inspiration!

Hoping:  that everything works out with the new job that I will start in September.  I am enjoying the summer off with the kids but financially, we just can’t swing it for me to stay home full-time.  I thought I was done working in the education field, however, I found a job that is very flexible and seems like a good fit for me and the family.

Eating:  At this exact moment an ice cream cone.  However, overall, we eat pretty healthy.  Most weeks I cook dinner Monday through Friday.  I’ve been posting our weekly meal plans on Monday.  You can check out Monday’s post for a look at what we cooked the previous week.  The Weekend Chef is really getting lucky with summer and our busy weekends out and about and not having to cook very much!

Watching:  While I’m typing this the Weekend Chef and I are watching The Killing on Netflix.  During the day while the kids have been at camp this week I’ve been watching Revenge while I eat lunch.  Other shows that the Weekend Chef and I are watching include Orange is the New Black and House of Cards.
