One word to describe our summer thus far…HECTIC! Usually, our summers are a time of relaxation and a break from the routine of school days. A time to just regroup and enjoy the season. This year though we’ve been full-steam ahead since the beginning of June.
Out of the blue, we found a house that was perfect for our family and we moved ahead with purchasing it rather quickly. The process has gone smoothly which is great but has left us with a summer of organizing, packing, planning and getting ready to move. Good news is the move is happening this week so the hard parts will soon be behind us.
Now that’s not to say that we haven’t still enjoyed any part of this summer. It has been a bit of a juggling act squeezing in fun times around all the work that presented itself. A couple of the most exciting parts of this summer have been 2 visits from long-lost cousins of mine. Haven’t visited with either of them in over 20 years and as luck would have it both traveled to Michigan this summer and smack dab in the middle of our packing. I already had most of my kitchen packed up but I wanted to make something yummy for their visits. Luckily I’d stocked up on some time-saving Nestle Toll House Baking Mixes while shopping at Meijer recently.
