So, even though I haven’t been writing much (or anything) this week, I’ve still been busy! I’ve crossed quite a few more things off my summer essentials list. Like cleaning out my closet (sorry, no photo for this one). I was pretty harsh this time around, and managed to collect about 3 large bags of clothes to be donated to the thrift shop – yay me!
I also tackled a few of the “ongoing” things on the list. Last Saturday was my cousin’s 40th birthday and quite a few of my family members were coming in from out of town for the festivities. Now, I’m pretty sure that I haven’t seen some of these family members for over a decade so it was really exciting to see them! We all participated in a giant digital photo Scavenger Hunt as part of the festivities, and here we are crossing off “Tree Huggers” on the list:
I also got going on my “new recipe” once a week resolution. On Monday night, I experimented with a cream cheese pasta sauce and created this lovely dish:
Not the most flavourful thing I’ve ever made, but still pretty good and definitely healthy!
I’ve got more exciting things planned for the next few weeks – plus Mr. Ambitious thought he might create his own Summer Essentials list as well which I will post here as well 
Hope you all are enjoying the summer so far! I plan to be back with new musings next week so stay tuned!
