Friends! I’m a little behind with my weekly good things list. I have a few things that I wanted to let you know about so let’s get to it!
1. My friend’s birthday was this past weekend. She wanted to get Thai food on Friday so we did a double date with her and her husband. It was so nice getting dressed up and going out. The food was good, the iced coffee was delicious, and the company was fantastic! And then we stopped for ice cream on the way home. And that was some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had! YUM! Then we celebrated with her family on her actual birthday on Saturday. It was nice to be included in such a fun celebration.
2. I have a couple of local-to-me things to share. First, have you ever heard the cidiot podcast? No? Well, I think you should take a listen. And while you’re at it, check out Red Kill Mountain Homestead Farm. Ashley and Matt have a podcast and some lovely products too (you will be hearing more about this soon, hint hint). And have I mentioned the new Upstate Curious app? If not, and you’re local to the Hudson Valley/Catskills region, you definitely need to download it and use it. It’s so full of great information and resources! And there might be something special planned with them. hint, hint.
3. I spent some time away from Chicken Librarian last week. It was very much needed. I just need a sec to catch my breath. And I’m glad I did. There were some very nice spring days last week and I got to enjoy them. Of course, now winter has set back in so it’s back to work for me! You can find out what I’ve been up to by reading this post or by visiting my shop.
4. Speaking of taking time away, I’ve been enjoying this coffee while I’ve been doing some reading and research and relaxing some. I love french press coffee and I love it even more when it’s made with locally roasted beans! Yum!
That’s all I have for now. I’ll be back soon with some other posts. I have a lot percolating and can’t wait to share it with y’all. But now I really must tend to some homesteady goodness. HEHE.
’til next time

Mmmmmm Thai food. Sounds like y’all had a fun celebration.
The coffee packaging is so cute. As is your coffee mug.

A lovely post, Kristin. Glad you got some time with friends! (And Thai food sounds so good.)
Very excited for you about your podcast. Yay! I’m so glad people are helping get the “Chicken Librarian word” out there! 🙂 Keep us posted! XO!

So glad you guys had a chance to celebrate, Kristin! It sounds like so much fun. Thai food is always a treat and I don’t think I’ve ever turned down an ice cream sundae 😂 It’s really inspiring you take time out of your schedule to plan and evaluate things. I definitely need to make more time to do that myself. Dying over those wellie mugs. Seriously so cute! Thanks for all the inspiration this week and for the sweet reminder to slow down and enjoy the little things! Hugs, CoCo

Thank you Coco! You are so sweet! I love hearing what you have to say and love your visits here to the blog. Slowing down and evaluating is so important. I’ve spent too much time going down paths that weren’t meant to be so now I can see the signs and try to stop and take a breath. It really does help. Of course then I have to play major catch up! But it’s worth it!
I received the wellie mug as a gift a few years ago but I think it was from Anthropologie. Which is such a fun store anyway! And that ice cream was to. die. for! LOL. xoxo
