Happy Friday! The countdown is on with only 6 more days until the first day of school. I attended freshman parent orientation for my son and the kids got their schedules yesterday. Back-to-school is getting real! This past week has given us a glimpse of what the fall has in store for us with the kids’ schedules. Here are five from this week:
1. Sports Preseasons- The kids started their high school preseasons. They’re both on Varsity sports teams (soccer for my son, field hockey for my daughter). They have been going to practice every day, of course one in the morning and one in the late afternoon. So, it’s been a a careful coordination of drop-offs and pickups. We are so thankful that my husband works from home and is able to do most of the driving.
2. – Bear Mountain State Park – Sunday my husband and I went to Bear Mountain State Park. We rented a pedal boat which is something we hadn’t done in years.
We also got to see the Bear Mountain Bridge from below, which was a neat perspective. We are usually driving over it or seeing it from above when we hike Anthony’s Nose.
3. Reading – I read Every Summer After by Carly Fortune this week. Despite all the rave reviews, I thought it was a just an okay read.
4. Cooking – This week’s dinners included this Crispy BBQ Salmon with Roasted Jalapeno Peach Salsa. This was very tasty! I love a fruit salsa! My husband made this Swedish Meatballs recipe on Sunday that we served with mashed potatoes and green beans. I also made Sun-Dried Tomato Quesadillas with White Beans and Broccoli and Loaded Caprese Grilled Cheese.
5. Watching – This weekend we all watched Everything, Everywhere, All at Once. This was a weird, trippy, and funny but good movie.
My husband and I watched the last episode of Loot (Apple+), the last episode of Only Murders in the Building (Hulu) and Ted Lasso (Apple+). Yes, we were holding out on finishing the most recent season, since I didn’t want it to end!
6. Guilty Eats – Here are some of my recent posts for Guilty Eats:
Goodles Mac and Cheese
Pickle-Flavored Snacks
Sauza Agave’s Que Viva el Mariachi Contest
Joffrey’s Disney Hocus Pocus Sanderson Sisters Brew
