For the first time in… I actually don’t know how long, I spent the last two hours (basically) home alone. E took our son out for a “boys only” park trip and left me home alone with our sleeping princess. I was a little overwhelmed with all of the opportunities I had with time alone in a quiet house, so I made the most of it by fitting in ALL the activities.
First, I re-planted my garden. I technically planted last week, but we ended up leaving on a last-minute vacation so I re-planted today! I think I need to get a few gardening books from the library because I’m pretty sure I’m doing it wrong. Honestly, I don’t know how people with big gardens do it. Those seeds are so small and planting them was tedious work!
As you can see, my “balcony garden” isn’t the most pinterest-approved garden, but it works for us now (and our budget!). I’ll keep you updated on how the seeds do (hopefully we WILL see some kind of growth!).
My next activity (and probably my favorite) was taking a morning bath and reading a book I picked up yesterday. The book is adorable and witty – Lunch in Paris: A Love Story with Recipes. I’m only a few chapters in, but so far it is darling. I’m excited to try out some of the recipes too – yum.
Last, but certainly not least, is this little blog post. Any kind of writing for me is therapeutic, which is why I have a million journals that document my life consistently since 5th grade.
Here’s to quiet mornings, growing gardens, and books that make you smile. Happy weekend indeed. ❤
