Recently No. 1 – July ’14

So I have finally made the decision to stop posting monthlyreading updates. I simply don’t read enough books lately. My focus has been on
journals, magazines, and blogs, things that don’t fit neatly into this category.
Though this might change one day and perhaps at that time I will resurrect this
series, for now however, it’s just not in the cards.
Instead I’m going to start a new series, right now we are
calling it Recently. I hope that this series will force me to become a better documenter
of our lives, something that I have been desperately trying to get better at. Besides
these are my favorite types of posts to read from other blogs, so I thought
that maybe you guys would like to see them here as well. So without further ado.
Recently.
Yes we are starting with a book, because I finally just
finished it, and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next one in the series. Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon they are super long, but super good!

I’ve been getting my summer frozen cocktail on, by the pool,
the beach, and on the couch. I just can’t get enough. It seems to be a pattern
though, because last year at this time I was making a different fruity
cocktail every week.

It’s Chuck’s birthday week. He’s finally reached my status
of oldness, so maybe he will start going to bed at the same time as me now. To
celebrate we are headed off to the woods for a nice long break from reality, I’m counting the days until we get there.
I just downloaded The Queen of the Tearling (Notice the $0.00 price tag!) for the trip, because ain’t
no body want to be lugging the extra 5 lbs that is Voyager (Outlander Book 3). I will be
starting that one upon our return.
My first vox box from influenster arrived a few weeks ago. I received AveenoPositively Radiant Targeted Tone Corrector. Overall I liked the product, it went on smooth and I didn’t
feel anything on my face afterward. I did notice after a couple weeks of use that some of my
darker freckles had faded. I also noticed that it took me a month to write that little
blurb for influenster and I still feel cheap. Besides I find that Vox Box Products don’t seem
to be in line with the holistic, sustainable approaches I’m currently feeling. While
I did enjoy some aspects of the program I really just don’t think it’s a good
fit here on SL&G. Readers; thanks for putting up with the little experiment though.

I read this post that lead me to this article.Yes Yes and YES. I cannot agree more. I know some of my friends think I’m crazy for the numbers of people I always have coming and going in my house (this weekend was a great example), and that I’m always cooking for these people, but this is so important to me. I grew up in a home where dinner time mattered, and it was the highlight of the day as it should be. Please read this article. It’s necessary.

My past yoga teacher wrote a book! Since we moved last year I havent been able to attend many of her classes but Jennilee is one of the most amazing and inspiring women. I would really love it if she was able to reach her kickstarter goal and get her book published. You can find more information about it all at her kickstarter page.

I was super inspired by this post, and I’m going to get my but in gear because of it.

Can we talk about this? We could all be beautiful and powerful if we had that much money too.

This article on potatoes has really got me thinking. I am amazed that this kind of stuff actually happens. Even if you don’t want to read the article at least watch this video. This girl is amazing, adorable, and the knowledge she’s giving us is crazy.
