I soaked up as a lot sunshine as doable understanding that we nonetheless have a few months to go earlier than this can be a each day factor once more. 

ON THE BLOGS THIS WEEK: With flavorful salmon nestled on a mattress of child greens, contemporary herbs, glass noodles, avocado, crunchy cabbage and carrots, pickled broccoli and a to-die-for chili lime dressing, this Asian Salmon Salad is a showstopper.

What I’m WATCHING: These Bible Project videos that tell the story of Jesus life, death, and resurrection as portrayed within the Gospel of Luke. I’ve discovered a lot by way of these movies and I can’t suggest them extremely sufficient. Children and adults love them, and I’m so completely satisfied to have discovered these movies. Each is only a few minutes lengthy, making them good for little breaks by way of the day.
