We made it through another week, and into a new month! I’ve had a sick kiddo this week, which is never fun for anyone. I’m hoping for a relaxing weekend so that we can start next week feeling healthy and in good spirits. I hope you have some wonderful weekend plans with your family. Enjoy this week’s links!
What do you do when your toddler is too sick to be around other kids, but still has energy and needs to get out of the house? We’ve done a lot of hiking this week, and visited the Contemporary Jewish Museum (free on the first Tuesday of every month) for the first time. There is a small, but sweet, kid’s area that my son loved, and I really enjoyed the exhibit The Art of Rube Goldberg. If you haven’t been before, it is definitely worth a visit!
I finished Red Clocks, which I recommended last week (and is one of the best books I’ve read this year!), and just started a new book, Neon in Daylight. So far it’s a fast, entertaining read that follows three interesting characters during a summer heat wave in New York City. We visited New York last summer and were sticky and sweaty the entire time but loved every minute of our trip. This book makes me want to plan a return visit this summer!
I made Instant Pot Sticky Korean Chicken this week and it was a hit! I try lots of new recipes, but few make it into our regular rotation. This recipe is so easy, so tasty and definitely a keeper.
Have you been spring cleaning? Maybe it’s time to clean up your skincare routine. This guide to natural beauty products for every skin type is a great place to start (you can also check out my beauty routine here).
What is the best parenting advice you’ve ever received? The comments on this post are the best part.
“Although you will coordinate, plan and do almost everything, you should expect to crash face-first into bed every night feeling that you’ve accomplished basically nothing.” This has been all over the internet this week, so you might have already seen it, but I had to include it here.
