Siberian Husky

Currently: July 2020

How is it July already?! I kind of feel like it’s still March. Anyone else feel that way? Regardless, it’s July and I am loving summer! Here’s what’s currently going on in my life with a few affiliate links included!

Current books Just finished up Simple Pleasures and now I’m onto this memoir. Sadie has been loving the crafts from this book and learning about colors in this lift-a-flap book. Jimmy and I are still reading our Couple’s Devotional and The Purpose Driven Life together as well!

Current food Baked beans have been extra delicious lately. Something about summer makes me crave ’em.

Current toddler product Sadie has had this little trampoline for a while, but we brought it outside for the first time and it was like a whole new toy, haha.

Current drink Starbucks coffee. Jimmy bought me the Komodo dragon beans for my birthday and we have been loving our morning cup even more than usual. 

Current baked good Cowboy cookies! I had never made them until recently and now I’m hooked. I have to have one every day 🙂

Current pet product Niva is still blowing her coat like nobody’s business, and this brush has been helpful!

Current joy Sadie growing up and understanding more and more. It’s really neat to talk to her and she understands what we’re saying. 

Current blessing Spending time with family ❤

Current project Our back patio renovation is still trucking along thanks to Jimmy’s hard work! He added some plants and fresh mulch and rocks yesterday.

Current fun Making a scrapbook from our camping trip pictures. I thought about making an album online and having it printed, but that takes all the fun out of it for me. I love figuring out layouts, picking stickers, and using colored paper. 

Current cuteness We had a cookout yesterday and my cousin from New York was visiting and brought her daughter. We took pictures of my niece, Sadie, and my cousin’s daughter and they are too sweet!

Getting Back in the Groove

The past few days have been spent catching up and diving back into our normal life after our camping trip. This means laundry, grocery shopping, cooking, mowing, gardening, catching up on real estate work, and cleaning.

These three are happy to be reunited! Malcolm was sunbathing, Sadie was playing with her trucks, Niva was napping, and my flip flop was resting in the middle of the kitchen. All was right with the world 🙂

I’ve been making sure to spend some focused playtime with Sadie amidst all the catching up and busyness. I ordered this arts and crafts book by Abeka (<– affiliate link!) and we had fun making a creation mobile together!

I’ve also been shearing our sheep… I mean brushing Niva’s fur… 😉

Since it’s a new month, we have a new memory verse in the Zottola household. Jimmy chose this month’s memory verse from 1 Peter. 

Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming. 1 Peter 1:13 (NIV)

Okay, off to get a bit more done around here and maybe do some crafts 🙂
