Read and Reading
More about what I've been reading lately here.Listening
Still adoring podcasts over here. Lately Jason and I have been listening to the Judge John Hodgman podcast. He listens to it more than I do, but he saves the episodes he thinks will be especially good so I can listen with him.Perfect road trip music for a family.
Watching
Our family has been really into Studio C lately (a clean sketch comedy show). One of our favorite clips.
I just signed up for a trial of Creative Bug and have received a ton of crafty inspiration already.
I watched Selma while sitting among strangers on a plane last week. I highly recommend the movie, but not so much the watching while surrounded by strangers on a plane, unless you can cry less conspicuously than I can.
Also, Bill Nye the Science Guy is now on Netflix! You'd better believe that's part of our summer homeschool plans.

Slowly but surely making my way through Gilmore Girls while I iron and do other small projects.

Watching my Ellie Girl swimming in her first long course meet. It was an outdoor meet on a cold, rainy day and it was rather miserable. It brought back so many memories. I just love that she's following in her Mama's footsteps.

Things I love:
- Costa Rica. Jason and I spent a few days there this month. It was magical!
- Ziplining. We went for the first time on our trip and it was absolutely incredible. I'm ready to go again asap.
- So much rain here lately. Utah is a desert, you know. But this spring has been unnaturally wet and our valley looks gorgeous because of it.
- Time with dear friends. We took a weekend trip with some of our very favorite people earlier this month. I am so grateful for good people who support us, laugh with us and share their lives with us.
- Quiet time. It's my favorite time of day.
Creating:
Still plugging away on my Year of Creative Habits challenge. I haven't missed a day yet. Though, I'll admit, sometimes I don't post a photo every day. Follow my progress on Instagram.
Getting ready to teach my summer art classes for kids. Planning and dreaming is fun, but I can't wait to actually start teaching.
More scripture study guides.
