When we moved into our house (over 5 years ago now!), we finished the basement, assuming that it would one day be a space where our kids could hang out together and/or with friends. At that time, Amalia was only two so going down there alone wasn't really an option. Now that the kids are 4 and (almost) 8, they're ok to play without me in the same room.
There’s something about the start of summer that makes me want to refresh everything from my wardrobe to my home, to my exercise routine, to even my mindset. I guess the sunshine just brings out this urge to lighten up and start fresh. I put together a little early summer wish list with things I’m eyeing (and maybe already adding to cart, oops!) to make the season feel a little more special, a little more fun, and a lot more colorful.
In my quest to be my healthiest self by 40 (t-minus two months!) I’ve been paying more attention to my protein intake. As is every other 30-50 something woman in America, according to Instagram. Not because I’m trying to hit some magic number, but because I’ve noticed that when I eat more protein, I feel fuller, more energized, and way less snacky in the afternoons.
Happy Friday! It has been the most beautiful week here in Connecticut and I can feel the dread of winter slipping away day by day. My tennis group had our first outdoor lesson of the season this week and I was literally hopping up and down in delight the entire time. I love this time of year so much!
