July was a relatively calm month for us. We were grateful for this! We finally wrapped up school, so my kids are excited to have a break. Given I need to begin preparing for next year, my break will be short-lived. Nevertheless, I am grateful that things will be moving at a slower pace for a few weeks.
My parents are visiting this month, so we are looking forward to spending time with them. I’ll probably try to get some extra cleaning done while they are here to help with the kids, but otherwise we don’t have any special plans. Here are the dinners we plan to enjoy throughout the month (you can see past menus here).
