Get your pads and pens ready because it’s time for the Week In Review.
The Week In Review is a list, in its purest form, not of the things you still need to do, but of all the things you have done in the last seven days. It’s an achievement list, an ode to yourself, a celebration of sorts, and a virtual pat on the back or smack on the ass. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
Need more details? Head here.
♫ You can do it, put your list into it. ♫
Let’s get listing:
Ave and I had dance parties to Nicki Minaj, Cat Stevens and Aretha Franklin. She’s got jazz hands down pat.
We save the classical music for bath time.
We nursed for only thirteen hours, which means she’s still improving.
We had some fun on SnapChat (Clean Eats Fast Feets).
We went to our weekly lactation support group.
We visited the summer solstice celebration at Lakewood Park.
As for my own self-care, I went for a run on Saturday morning.
I had lunch with a dear friend.
And I caught up with another bestie on FaceTime.
Last but certainly not least, I ate my weight in salads.
(Simple Southwest Salad with Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette)
It’s your turn. I want to hear from you. Link up and get yo’ list on.
What are three things you accomplished in the last week?

June 27, 2016 at 6:46 AMGood friends and good veggies = what more do you need? Throw in that sunset and some solstice celebrations and I don’t think it could get any better. PS I’m coming to your next dance party. *Hands Up!*

Meghan says
June 29, 2016 at 8:12 AMThe best part of the day is when I get her first thing in the morning. She is sooooo happy. I’ll try to capture it for SnapChat.

June 29, 2016 at 8:13 AMThanks Sara! All of those salads are because of our CSA. We get giant heads of lettuce every week.

Ellie says
June 27, 2016 at 9:54 AMWhen I make a salad, I’m a dipper. I dip the stuff in dressing or dip. Idk why, but I grew up doing that…probably a reason I don’t eat too much salad. I’m gross. This week I finished the FAFSA and took a break from the training mindset. I’m not ready yet and that’s ok, 🙂

June 27, 2016 at 2:58 PMAfter I saw your Southwestern Salad on IG yesterday, I immediately put it on my meal plan for this week. I don’t know how I’ve never made it before considering it contains all of my favorite things.
Meghan says
June 29, 2016 at 8:21 AMYes, you are gonna love this salad. It’s even better with super spicy cheese. 🙂

June 27, 2016 at 5:03 PMOh my goodness Ave does adorable Jazz Hands!
I don’t know how you get anything else done, I’d feel like sitting around and playing all the time!
Instead, I am working–which brings me to salads. I made balsamic vinaigrette today. My recipe called for 3 quarts of olive oil!
Oy!

3 quarts of olive oil!!! Wow. I wonder how long it’ll last.

Joyce @ The Hungry Caterpillar says
June 27, 2016 at 7:02 PMYum! Those are some sexy salads.
A summer solstice celebration sounds like a super-fun idea! I think a lot of cultures have something that’s basically a summer solstice holiday and a winter solstice holiday–for us, they just happen to fall near Independence Day and Christmas.
Excellent jazz hands, Ave!

I finally, caught up with all the laundry last week… Winter = more layers to wear and therefore more clothes to wash!
Jen @ Chase the Red Grape recently posted…Currently – June
Meghan says
June 29, 2016 at 8:30 AMI find the laundry to be never ending over here. If it’s not our stuff, it’s Ave’s. In fact, she generates a lot of laundry; probably because she poops or drools on everything. 🙂

June 28, 2016 at 4:06 AMHahah these snapchat filters never fail to crack me up! I did the same with my nephew and he just sat there with no clue what was going on- at least it give me and my sister a good chuckle! I normally HATE hard boiled yolks but those gorgeous salads are making me reconsider- stunning!

June 28, 2016 at 7:29 AMWhat a nice sounding week! Dancing, salads and time with friends included. I am in pre vacation + wedding preperations for my friend + a presentation of my thesis progress panic mode. I wish I had at least 4 more arms and another brain to keep going. In the sense of selfcare I still went to CF this morning. It was much needed. Loved this post. It reminded me that there will be calmer, more self-paced times.
Also 13 hours. That’s wonderful! And I loved the picture of you two on snapchat 🙂

June 28, 2016 at 1:37 PMWhat a glorious week, one for the pages 🙂
I’m so excited for bath time, maybe too much so. I’ve breastfed 8 hours in the past 33 hours and it’s such a cool but complex process. Definitely looking forward to my weekly lactation support groups! Starting later like next week. We haven’t left the hospital yet.
What a crazy intense ride. Glad that there was a plan b because plan a was squashed. Thankful for good surgeons and medicine right now. And our healthy girl of course 🙂
You’re solstice looked dreamy! And oh those salads. Can’t wait! I’m back on the smoothie train when we get home.
