What are you up to this week? We are making some serious progress on packing up the apartment as we prepare for our impending move to Alabama. Hoping that we can get far enough ahead that we’ll have time for a beach trip next week. Gotta soak in those ocean view’s while it is still in our “backyard,” ya know? We also gained a new little niece at the end of last week and are waiting on a nephew to make an appearance some time soon, too. Ahhh, so many sweet babies bein’ born! Hope all is well in your neck of the woods, and here are some thing’s to entertain ya…

Oh you are moving, that’s really great. Need to check some food to boost my mood! Happy Hump day Beth!
Lovely roundup! That food post you linked about foods to eat when feeling low was great. I think many people happen to eat much unhealthy stuff when feeling low and that definitely isn’t the way to feel better. She shared some excellent tips in that post! Also, I love wine and those starter packages of great wines are a great concept, I wish we’d have something similar here in Finland. 🙂
