While I’m not usually one to hope for rainy weather, it is an awfully nice excuse to spend the weekend drinking tea, reading books, and finishing up those pesky house projects we’ve been putting off. It’s beginning to sink in that we’ll be adding another member to our family in just a few short weeks, and while we have lots of things to do, I also find myself wanting to savor weekends of rest with my family of three. I think sleeping in, staying in our PJs, and enjoying the Apple Pie Biscuit Casserole from this week’s meal plan might be exactly what we need.
