Last weekend was sunny and I spent part of the day walking on the beach with a good friend. And then just as I was getting used to the almost summer-like weather, the rain hit. So, this weekend is rainy, but I’m not minding some down time after a busy week.

I’m trying something new, rather than a Weekend Links post, and sharing some of what I’ve been into this week, along with some good links.

Reading

This past week I was super busy with work, which means lots and lots of driving. But…the good thing about all that driving is listening to audio books. I finished The Night Circus this week and LOVED it. Review coming soon.

In the Kitchen

I’ve been following along with Kat’s Meal Planning Boot Camp. I love using Plan to Eat for meal planning and am excited to have new friends to share recipes with.

I picked up a copy of Better Than a Box this week and am loving it. I’ve been making the Chicken with Rice and Green Beans since I recipe tested it over a year ago and it’s delicious. Can’t wait to try out the other yummy looking recipes. Also, don’t miss the  Launch Party Giveaway happening now through 1/29.

I made my favorite brussels sprouts dish two nights in a row and used fresh cranberries, which is even better than dried!

Around the Web

You know I love my essential oils, so of course I was excited to see that The Prairie Homestead is giving away her essential oils ebook for FREE!

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! I’ve been seeing some fun Valentine-themed beauty around the web:

• Love these Valentine cards.
• I have a thing for garlands, and this clothespin hearts garland is lovely!
• And here’s a pretty dimensional heart garland.

I’m excited to follow Stephanie and her family as they travel around the world for the next year! What an adventure! Loved this post she wrote on 25 reasons we’re taking our kids around the world.

I think that’s it for now! Anything fun you’re into right now?
