Introducing:: Harmony to outside water play. Great fun on super hot days!
Savoring:: a new treat that my sister brought home called Chocoshrooms. The perfect tasty morsel, kind of like Pocky, but much less messy!
Writing:: letters to a lady in Michigan as part of the Love Notes project.
Creating:: watercolor and pen postcards! Making art for me almost feels like dreaming; I get a chance to see what is going on in my subconscious, much of the time.
Planning:: the final stages of the benefit concert for Compassion International that I and several other musicians are putting together for August!
Watching:: the cooking competition series Master Chef as each new episode becomes available on Hulu! We're rooting for Jessie right now.
Anticipating:: the 4th of July parade that I'll be walking in.
Listening:: to some great new FREE music from the "I Care If You Listen" summer 2013 mixtape. I've been playing the penultimate track* constantly. Go check it out!
Hoping:: to make some delicious popsicles like the ones we've had at the local Farmer's Market from Native Pops. Their apple-pomegranate was amazing, but I want to try their peach-lavender!
Enjoying:: the rewards of the last closet cleaned out: we're (almost) completely clutter-free**! The last boxes of everything we didn't need were taken to our church's rummage give-away this weekend.
Reminding:: myself that these nights with a teething, screaming child do not last forever.
Diving:: into the joys of summer!
*Anyone who knows what the word "penultimate" means without looking it up is my hero. It's one of my favorite words, but I definitely had no idea what it meant until I looked in a dictionary : P
**Well, we're not COMPLETELY clutter-free. There's still a box of mementos in our closet, and two boxes of baby clothes in storage that we're saving for a potential next child, a linen closet with an entire shelf devoted to serving dishes that we won't need unless we have a fancy dinner party (or five kids) etc. But we're basically living in a one-bedroom apartment, now that my sister has moved in, and our home doesn't FEEL cluttered anymore, so I'd call that a goal accomplished for now : )

Wonderful haircut! You must feel so much lighter!
You're so busy with so many inspiring activities! Good for you!
Love the artwork. I just recently started an art journal, so it's inspiring to see other people's work.
Wishing you a lovely day.

Fun stuff--especially the haircut!
Thank you, Jennifer! I'm so excited to see how your art journal goes! It definitely inspires me creatively to see what other people are working on : )
You have a lot of fun stuff coming up in your life, too, Mia. Can't wait to hear about the birthday party!
