This week one one of the busiest I’ve had in a while. However, it was also one of the most refreshing and restful. Don’t ask me how that worked out, but I think it has something to do with all the time we spent celebrating God and our community.

My mom was here visiting from Idaho. She and I spent our Monday together over good coffee and great conversation. Mom also blessed me by helping me replant my garden with a bunch of beautiful succulents.

Yay for all the beautiful cacti and succulents. I am especially excited for my aloe vera plant. You can read all about how to make this diy pallet planter right here.

I made Bret’s favorite this week: paleo meatloaf with homemade tomato sauce.

I got to watch this adorable babe on Friday. We had fun perusing the aisles of Costco and trying samples.

Later at home, I folded laundry while this cutie “played” Slam-wich and zombie dice.

Wine tasting for the first time ever. I really enjoyed it! Thank you to Witch Creek Winery and our sweet friends, the Cherry’s!

Aging barrels in house.

We had our newly-married friends over fr a BBQ. Kebabs and caesar potato salad with a fresh summer dessert!

Some of us wanted caramel with our grilled peaches and vanilla ice cream.

Our church celebrated 10 years together this Sunday! God is so good! There was an awesome worship service, a delicious catered meal, and wonderful friends to eat with.

Yes, this really happened. And it was amazing!

Have an abundant week! God bless!
