I was trying to have a no-spend month, but it’s turned into the most spend month of the year so far (yikes). The best thing? My Kanken Backpack.

I started watching The Office for the very first time and I have to say, I’m liking it much more than I ever thought I would. Jim and Pam are the only reason I’m still watching. #ScottsTots

Lately we’ve been eating a lot of the same meals, but my absolute favorite thing I’m cooking and eating is roasted veggies. I know *eye roll*.

My list of to-read books is dwindling – I’m wondering what my next book should be. Let me know if you have any good recommendations!

I’m totally savoring the last few days of summer. We live in a college town and while I love when all the students are here, I’m enjoying the last few days before traffic gets a little more backed up and restaurants have a little longer wait times.
Rest
Weekend Wrap Up – Hamilton Edition
The good list: the best reflections (on life and in windows), a jelly vs jam debate, star gazing, exploring a sweet little river town and a weekend of rest with my favorite people.
Friday Five | Stanley Cup Champions

This really happened. For the first time in franchise history, the St. Louis Blues won the Stanley Cup. I’ve been dreaming about these moments for the last 27 years, hoping that my team would finally have the chance to lift the Cup. The entirety of the play offs were incredibly nerve wracking, tying for the most postseason games played in a single year (at 26 games). We watched game seven in our basement with friends and I watched our team celebrate for hours afterwards. I would be lying if I said that tears weren’t involved. We celebrated with the rest of St. Louis at the parade and rally downtown the weekend after we won. I’m so glad I got to go experience it all, truly one of the best moments of 2019!

I’m currently working through the Harry Potter series again and am in the middle of The Chamber of Secrets. I’ve also recently picked up The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. I’m typically not one to re-read books, so it’s surprising that both of these are ones that I’ve read before! Since I’ve started keeping less books on my shelves, the ones I have loved previously are enticing me back in.

I’m just enjoying the warmth and extra light of summer. It can get pretty warm here in Missouri, but I just love having longer days and being able to enjoy the sunshine when I get to sneak away for a little break during the work day.

I’m finding myself more interested in fashion lately and have been keeping an eye on a couple different fashion blogs (The Golden Girl Blog | LivvyLand | Loverly Grey). I’m a huge fan of Jess’ “a little something” tip. It’s meant for travel, but I’m using it to help dress up my more casual style.

I recently bought a bag of cherries and I cannot get enough – they are delicious. I definitely recommend them as a sweet little snack. Also currently a huge fan of flavored fizzy water.

Over the past year, I’ve been trying to finally get the rest of my stuff out of my parents house. As I’ve done that, I’ve come across a lot of things I just can’t seem to part with such as notes from Kevin, cards with sweet words, and other sentimental items. As a way to keep it all together, I started a “memory box”, which has been such a fun way to keep everything confined to a single space but still accessible to keep adding to it.
Today I’m joining Anne, at In Residence, for a ‘Currently’ linkup that she hosts on the first Wednesday of every month. Be sure to pop over and see what everyone else is up to!
