{Virtual Coffee}

Happy Tuesday.
Time for coffee.
It's been an early morning already today.
I am trying, trying to shake the last of the Winter funk off and challenging myself to get up earlier.
I said trying. I didn't say succeeding...yet.
If we were really meeting for coffee this morning, I would tell you to come here.
We are having toast and coffee on the front porch.
Oh- and on our toast is homemade strawberry jam made by my aunt. Yum.

I hope you don't mind the bare feet because we rarely wear shoes in nice weather around here.
You know how some people don't allow their kids to go out without shoes on? Well, that's not me.
A good Spring/Summer day = dirty feet, that's my theory anyway.
I always go barefoot so I can't really tell the kids they can't. Well---I could, I just don't though.

As of today there is only nine days of this school year left.
NINE. How did that happen?
Wyatt only really has to go eight more days because he is going to miss Friday because we are going to a graduation party in Iowa. Eight more days until Summer Vacation is officially here.
I am excited and in disbelief at the same time.
I am ready for it though. I will be happy to get a break from all of my school year duties
and happy that we will have so much free time together to just do whatever.
I feel like this first year of school just really flew by...it makes me kinda sad.
Mostly because I know the older they get the faster everything goes.

Yesterday I cleaned and swept floors and went through some clothes.
I filled up bags to donate and got a lot of stuff done around the house that desperately needed to be done.
We had a busy weekend and I attempted to get caught up on as much as I could on Monday.
It feels so good to have things (kind of) in order and de-cluttered...
Well, partially de-cluttered...it's pretty much a never ending job for me.
I made lists and folded laundry and scrubbed the kitchen counters.
Some days it's the last thing in the world I wan to do and some days I actually don't mind it.

Above is my Summer Reading List. I was adding to it today.

I am looking forward to getting a lot of reading done this summer. 

Not all of these books, these are just suggestions I have gotten and/or books I know I want to read.

I got most of the suggestions here on this post. 

If you want to some suggestions yourself, check out the comments.

Well, I think I am about out of coffee and ready to take a walk with my little partner, Charlotte.

Thanks so much for stopping by my little spot here today.

Hope everyone has a great week!
