I love weekends of futzing, filled with combination of idle time and a few hours here and there cleaning and reorganizing. I?ve been washing sheets and duvets, dusting and discarding, all with the windows open and sunshine streaming in. Matt spent the day power washing and pulling weeds, it was one of those weekends where you sit down at the end of it and you?re so grateful you spent it at home doing all those little things that make a home feel clean and cozy again.
I?m home for most of the month of May which I?m happy about, since I spent much of April in both Florida and Switzerland. After enjoying all that bread and cheese abroad, I?ve switched to the paleo diet for the month which feels good. It?s hard to say goodbye to carbs but so far I?m doing just fine. Almond flour is my new bestie since you can bake with it and also make tortillas. And as we all know cauliflower makes a decent substitute for potatoes. The afternoon salty crunchy snack craving is the most difficult for me so let me know if you have any paleo friendly snack ideas. Favorite links from the week:
