*This book
Apples for Jam, written by Tessa Kiros, is wonderful, the pictures are as juicy and delicious as her recipes...
*This movie
Penelope with Christina Ricci is one of the cutest, happiest movies I've seen (from her) in awhile. Adorable!
*Our small garden
While we did mostly container gardening for a few reasons, I'm still happy with our plants; 7 tomatoes, zucchini, cucumber, jalapeno, cilantro, basil, sage, parsley, oregano, and 3 pumpkins for Halloween carving.
*This place
Bredenbreck's ice cream shop in old Chestnut Hill (in Philadelphia). A great way to beat the heat. Even at 9 at night, it was really hot Monday in Philadelphia.
While it was hot for sure, we made a picnic and went to Pastorius Park to watch fire hoop dancing. Pretty cool, or hot, depending on which way you look at it.
*This children's book
The Fairy Tree house, given to McKaylah at her b-day party, she and Ava love it and I admit I do, too. We highly recommend it for any child who is fairy-licious!
*Reading poolside
(refer to first photo above...) yet add this book, Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen- totally awesome!
*Hanging out with friends
poolside
God, I'm white still...
and porch-side
and kids' dance parties too!
(and look at my Manny with the kids!)
*Zucchini recipes
Monday night I made a spicy Asian zucchini stir-fry, Tuesday night I made zucchini/turkey enchiladas and Wednesday I made balsamic-zucchini-tomato-corn pasta with fresh basil. My friend Ana has a wonderful organic garden and gave me the biggest zucchini on pseudo-steroids you've ever seen. Then I got more from the Pennypack Farm Co-op I belong to. But they are so yummy. I think I'll make zucchini bread this next week.
*Earth-wormories
A science project the girls are doing on gardening and soil (we made a little home for a couple earthworms to see how they make tunnels)
*This lady
okay, well, obviously I love my mom always, but this week I'm missing her more than usual-this picture was from her visit during Easter this year.
*This blog, The Little Travelers', check it out. Makes me feel more confident in our decisions/ponderings to live internationally.
*This skirt, purchased recently off of Etsy. So stinkin' cute!
*You!
