Meridith Monday’s – Vol 13

I’ve been loving my lighter schedule the past few weeks!  A nice mid- summer break for me:)

Over the past week I:

• Enjoyed a long day at Crestwood Lake with my mother in law and Chris!
• Made an amazing spicy rub for a pork loin that Chris then grilled up for dinner- yum
• Caught up on all my outstanding emails
• Updated the wedding section of my website- take a look here.
• Went to my brother and sister in laws for a dip in their pool and some steaks on the grill.
• Met my mother in laws new dog- Maggie Mae- such a sweet dog!
• Painted the stair risers at our house a nice semi-gloss white and they look so fresh and new.  Got to cross something off the house to-do list with this one:)
• Attended a Hawaiian Luau Party with Chris at Crestwood Lake.
• Watched Chris get pulled up on stage to learn how to hula at the Luau Party- this was funny for both of us:)
• Rescheduled a family session due to thunder storms:(  I think we will have better weather this Thursday!!
• Wrote up my July newsletter and just sent it out to subscribers this morning.  Want to get all my news and announcements first?  Sign up here for my monthly newsletter.
• Started a new blog series titled: Photo Tips for Parents geared towards taking better photos of your kids and posted Part 1 on the blog.  Click here to read it.
