got a few things done over memorial day weekend last week. i daily go through the mental struggle of loving this laid back domestic life i’ve had over the past two months (just learning how to be a mother and doing stuff around the house and garden) and the desire to rev things up a bit a lot. for example, i’ve had the urge recently to literally bag up my entire closet, donate it to goodwill and then hit up every store in sight for a crazier, edgier wardrobe. on top of that i want to walk into the nearest salon and say “have your way with me!” - still considering both of those options. but in the meantime i’m also very content with this slower paced mom-life (if only i could continue doing this and continue picking up my paycheck every 2 weeks. siiiigh.)
baked some chocolate chip scones that didn’t really turn out as expected but were edible enough
grabbed a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store for dinner one night last week and after finishing off the bird, dropped the whole thing in a stock pot with some veggies and herbs and cooked it down into chicken stock
the beginnings of chicken salad
it was a bright sunny day, so i laid out all the cloth dipes for a nice bleach in the sun
the front porch right now
