In this occasional series, I share what I’ve been reading, watching, thinking, and doing.

What I’m Reading:

What I’m (re)Watching:  Arrested Development

What I’m Listening To:  Simple Families Podcast food series; HerMoney — Cait Flanders interview about her shopping ban (also interviewed on The New Family podcast)

Where I’ve Been Recently:  St. Augustine, FL (pre-baby trip in December/January); family excursions to Black Mountain College reHappening and Knoxville Opera Rossini festival

What I’m Looking Forward To:  Taking the baby on his first big roadtrip to meet my family and friends in Pennsylvania

Latest Personal Project:  Learning more about plant care and garden maintenance and trying to get my landscaping in better shape

Recent Moment of Joy:  Interacting with the baby, hearing him try to talk, seeing him smile at me, and watching him gain skills. Yesterday he started trying to pick up his toys and put them in his mouth.

Currently Inspired By:  All things minimalism/simple living (though you’d never know it by walking through my house!)

Grateful For:  The ability to work from home for a while so I can spend more time with my little one

Cheers,

Alexis
