Downtime

As I type I’m looking out the window at a gloriously sunny day, the temperature is surprisingly balmy here in Coos Bay and the sky is a rich bet-you-didn’t-expect-this-in-November blue, and I feel like I should be strolling on a nearby beach and soaking up the salty ocean air and listening to that timeless sound of the waves rolling in, but parenthood revolves around naps and so the window will have to do for now.

Luckily, there’s plenty of time for both naps and seaside walks.

Yesterday at Bastendorff beach:

    Apropos of nothing, except to pass along a little joy into the hearts of everyone.

  • Loving, Lately

      space lotion JR Watkins Vanilla is my new favorite body lotion. Love the smell, love the way it feels, love the awesome label design. space bbad I may have mentioned it once or twice, but Breaking Bad is the best thing that has ever happened to television EVER. You should watch it right now. space side_b Bob Book Series Riley has honestly learned to read as a result of these little box sets. Cannot recommend enough. space side_c This applesauce bread from Allrecipes is superfast, supereasy, and the kids love it (I leave out the spices).
