WHAT WE'RE EATING THIS WEEK:
This week, we are grilling and eating fresh vegetables. There is honestly nothing like the summertime in terms of produce-- there really isn't a comparison (especially in New England). Therefore, I am taking advantage of the local produce from farms in our area. If you haven't tried pickling cucumbers, you have been missing out! Trust me-- once you try them it will be hard to go back to your run of the mill cucumbers. Although we are grilling, I am anxious to try out some new recipes, like this one:

And this one:

WHAT I AM REMINISCING ABOUT:
We are getting ready for a family vacation (with my sisters, parents, cousins, and grandparents) and I am reminded about the family vacations we went on when I was younger. Fresh lobster, dripping ice cream cones, fried seafood on a beach towel, boogie boarding, tide pool exploration, and sparklers.
WHAT I AM LOVING:
Is it sad to say that I am loving my maternity pants and dresses? Well-- even if it is-- I am haha.
WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO:
Since the weather has been nice, we have tried to spend time outdoors as much as possible--with day trips to various places on the weekends! Jim has been working on some outside projects (making the lamp post, working on the lawn, fixing up our shed, etc). Other than the normal household chores, I have been working on school items (not anymore!!!!). I am so ready to be "homework free" for 8 weeks (although I will be working on lesson plans during summer so I can be prepared for my maternity leave in early December).
WHAT I'M DREADING:
I am dreading the extreme humidity that inevitably comes in the summertime. I can usually handle warmer temperatures, but once the humidity starts, I feel so uncomfortable!
WHAT I'M WORKING ON:
I am working on organizing all of my school items, bags, papers, and clothes. I have let things slide for a few weeks, and now I have no excuse! I have to clean up around here :)
WHAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT:
I am excited to see how my body will change throughout this pregnancy. I'm not going to lie-- I am nervous about gaining too much weight/not gaining enough weight. I am worried about how I will look/feel. But at the same time, it is exciting to see the changes. To know that there is a baby growing inside is such an unreal notion.
WHAT I'M WATCHING/READING:
My husband and I just started watching "Ballers" with The Rock-- and the first episode was pretty good. It reminded me of "Playmakers"--anyone else watch that show? I actually remember watching it in my Exercise Physiology class (pretty sure we weren't supposed to be watching that hahha), and I was hooked! Unfortunately, the show only lasted a season I think-- but it was so good.
I am also watching "UnREAL" on Lifetime-- which is a drama centered around a "Reality Show" much like "The Bachelor." It is really good! Predictable to some degree, but it does make you think about how "real" certain reality shows are. If nothing else, it is definitely a show that will entertain you.
WHAT I'M LISTENING TO:
I have been listening to Pandora-- specifically my Eric Hutchinson station (mello, catchy, alternative music). Artists on that station include: John Mayer, Ray Lamontagne, Jason Mraz, Ingrid Michaelson, and Sara Bareilles.
WHAT I'M WEARING:
Dresses, leggings, tank-tops, and more dresses!
WHAT I'M DOING THIS WEEKEND:
This weekend I am celebrating Father's Day with my dad (he was away on a business trip) and we will be celebrating my nephew's second birthday! I cannot believe he is two already-- this year went by so quickly!
WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH:
I am looking forward to blueberry picking, fresh peaches and nectarines, and the Fourth of July of course (we will be on vacation).
WHAT ELSE IS NEW:
Nothing really is new?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY:
I will be away for a family vacation on York Beach, ME. I cannot wait! Fingers crossed for the weather!
What's up with you this Wednesday? I can't wait to check it out!
