ON MY RADAR 2.17.23

This was a GREAT week I needed a week like this and truly feel like I’ve come out of the fog I’ve been in. We had crazy warm February weather. Jack was hilariously cute and had a great week himself. Nothing like coming out of a few days of sickness to have a new lease on life! Just grateful all around.

Here’s what’s been on my radar this week:

ONE // Forest School

My dream would be to send Jack to a forest school for preschool. The one closest to us is too far with rush hour traffic, so I’m kind of trying to figure out how to implement some of the principals into our everyday life. I’ve scaled back some of his activities starting in March and my plan is to try to find new places to explore. He’s probably a little young for this, but I ordered this book just to get some ideas going!

TWO // Half-Zip

Both my half-zip and my sweatshirt that I wear a lot are sold out. Whenever I wear either, I get flooded with DMs…. always annoying when it’s not in stock! Well, I just realized there’s a half-zip version of my go-to crewneck sweatshirt! The light grey is the perfect grey but I also love the regular grey color as well.

THREE // Sizzled Scallion Dip

As soon as this recipe popped up on TikTok, I saved it. I love sour cream and onion dip. My mom used to make it all the time for us as an after school snack so it tastes extra nostalgic to me. This is a fancy, “grown up” version of the recipe…. Would be perfect for a party! (I also found the original recipe if you would prefer the original with no tweaks.)

FOUR // Minnow Swim Spring Collection

Minnow Swim’s spring collection just launched this week! They kindly sent a couple new pairs of swim trunks for Jack. They’re the only swimwear he really wears in the summer and he wears them every week even in the winter at swim lessons. The prints are soooo cute right now. For moms of girls, I can’t get over the darling smocking and crossover back of this new silhouette.

FIVE // “Host Like a French”

I feel like I may have shared this account before. Sharing it again though in case I haven’t?! This Manon is a French cook who has a series about how to host like a French person. Why are Americans so obsessed with trying to be French?! Idk but I subscribe . This winter raclette looks so delicious… need to have some people over and make it!

I’ve been having a major case of the Februarys… but hopefully seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. That is, if we don’t
