Last week was one of those weeks that looked fairly normal on paper but still somehow filled itself with errands, kid things, brownie research, and one very enthusiastic neighborhood yardwork assistant.
This week looks busier, but in a more promising way. We’ve had a few nice days here and there, but they keep getting interrupted by cold little plot twists. This week is supposed to stay warm all week, which feels like actual seasonal progress.
A Look Back at the Week That Was
Did: Took the boys to see The Sheep Detectives on Bargain Tuesday night. They loved it, and I thought it was cute. They brought blankets, we snuck in some pop, and we bought popcorn and fries, which is basically our current movie night formula.
Also did: Ran a bunch of little errands, including a library run and a trip to Wegmans to pick up prescriptions. Nothing especially exciting, just the kind of errands that somehow become half a week.
Loved: Holden helped the neighbor with yardwork after a tree fell, then spent the next day yelling out the door and window to see if he was outside again. He could not hear him, but Holden has clearly decided this is his new bestie.
Read: Drowning in Paper Flowers by E.L. Westbury. I haven’t finished it yet, but I’m still working on it.
Watched: Not much. I mostly bopped around trying to find my next great documentary series after a really good stretch of them over the last month.
Baked: We tried two more brownie mixes this week: Betty Crocker Delights first, which were our worst so far, and then Duncan Hines Dolly Parton brownies, which somehow became our favorite. I expected gimmick. I received greatness.
Worked on: My Christmas movie project for the blog, which has fully taken over a corner of my brain.
Looking Ahead to This Week
What’s on the Calendar
- Monthly Bingo night.
- Caleb’s school spring concert.
- A breakfast event at Holden’s school.
To-Do List
- Swap out most of my winter clothes and bring up my lighter clothes.
- Finish reading Drowning in Paper Flowers.
- Pick another Kindle Unlimited book to read before my discounted subscription ends in June and I cancel.
- Finish season two of The Pitt and/or find a new documentary series to watch.
- Keep working on my Christmas movie project.
- Work on some other blog projects I’ve got going: swapping out images, adding links, etc.
Looking Forward To
- Actual nice weather for more than twelve suspicious minutes at a time.
- Getting lighter clothes back into rotation.
- A full week with some fun kid events mixed in.
Main Focus
Getting through a busy week, making the seasonal clothing swap, and trying to make steady progress on the projects I already have going instead of starting seventeen new ones.

Here’s to a full week with school events, lighter clothes, a good book, and maybe one documentary series worth obsessing over.
