1. Buy a boy a book about bugs and it will keep him busy for hours. (I had no idea he would love a book about bugs so much!)
2. Date nights are essential. It’s so easy to forget that we need time together – just the two of us. We had an unexpected day together, and at first, we didn’t know what to do! We went for a run on the greenway and then caught a movie and dinner.

3. Keeping a running to do list on my phone has been working better than pen and paper. Ya’ll, I love pen and paper to do lists and have been using them forever, but this month, I finally switched over to using my iphone. It’s been much easier for me to keep track of what’s left to do that day. I still like to write out a to do list at night (I have been doing this since I was 16. And now sometimes I send myself an e-mail) but my phone works great for during the day.
4. Harrison is more and more becoming a daddy’s boy, and I love it. It is so precious. Every time the phone rings, he is screaming, “Dada, DADA!”
5. I really had forgotten how much I love Trader Joe’s. Thanks to my super sweet friend for reminding me how awesome it is. What are your favorite foods at Trader Joe’s? We have been there so much this month, and I’m always looking for new stuff to try!
6. Check to make sure what you have picked up to spray on your child’s clothes is oxi clean and not bleach. (true story)
7. My new favorite sunscreen ever.

8. Books I finished reading this month – a. Essentialism by Greg McKeown. I really loved this book, especially the chapter about subtracting. I was surprised I was able to get it from the library so quickly, but this is one I’ll probably be buying, too.
b. Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel. When I was reading the description of this book, it really didn’t sound like anything I thought I’d ever read, but it kept coming up on all these lists as a great book to read this year. I was also like number 50 or so on the list from the library so I figured it would be a while until I got it. I was surprised how quickly I got it from the library, and after reading it in three days, I now know why I got it so quickly. It definitely captures your interest, is easy to read, and I enjoyed this fiction novel!
c.I am still reading The Love Dare. I have really enjoyed this book about marriage and the little task to do everyday. I will definitely be buying this one also!
9. I realllly treasure the mornings I have with my boys once a week at the Museum of Life and Science. Seeing their eyes light up while learning is just precious.
