This week’s Mugshot Monday is full of pics from last week – Spring Break. It goes by so quickly, doesn’t it? My family and I didn’t go anywhere too far since there’s a big trip in the works this summer. We didn’t want to bust our vacation budget, nonetheless we filled our week with kid-friendly activities at Goldberry Woods.

It’s so fun just hanging out, eating, drinking and laughing with friends! All our kids ran around the woods and only came in when they were hungry, or they wanted screen time. Imagine eight kids huddled around one computer screen! It’s the new fireside chat by the radio – and if you get that reference, kudos to you.

At Goldberry Woods

I had a good weather day which meant… bicycle maintenance checks!

My hubby and our friend held a science lab for the kids… DIY calorimeter. Awesome.

Somehow I got the kids to doodle and draw with me. Hehehe.

We even had some time to walk around the property… checking out the seedlings in the hoop house (greenhouse)!

Now we’re back home. Everyone’s at work and school. Today, I’m finishing our taxes (crossing fingers!). My head was spinning from papers, so I took a small break outside with a cuppa.

I thought, “What a cool reflection in my mug! Oh, look, my grass is actually turning green!”

The Spring miracle.

This week, stay tuned for a “vintage” recipe redo and some Easter artwork!
