WORKING ON….painting, painting, and more painting.  There’s been a whole lot of painting going on around here.  I have already repainted my master bedroom and the upstairs hallway.  Next on the list is the foyer and the kitchen, after stripping the nightmare wallpaper there.  I’ll definitely be busy!

READING…books on the Paleo diet/lifestyle.  I’m currently doing a bit of “research” on the Paleo diet.  It’s also known as the primal or caveman diet where you basically only eat those things cavemen would have eaten, eliminating grains, dairy, gluten, and a few other things.  It’s actually not as difficult for me as I thought it would be, and it seems to be fairly easy to tweak recipes to make them Paleo-friendly.  Since having my son in 2011, my digestion has been crazy!  Yes, it’s been that long.  The Paleo lifestyle seems to the perfect fix!

LOOKING FORWARD TO…barbecues/cookouts….whatever you choose to call them.  I’m so excited that it’s cookout season here in the Northeast.  There’s nothing better, to me, than the smell of a charcoal grill, potato salad, and eating outdoors.  We’ve already had 2 since Memorial Day, and I’m looking forward to many more before Fall hits.

THINKING ABOUT…what family activities we can do this Summer that aren’t too costly and that will keep everyone entertained and busy.  I always feel like Summer vacation goes by way too quickly, so I want to make sure we cram in all the great things we enjoy – beach trips, amusement parks, picnics, swimming lessons, etc.
