Links I Love Week 11

As warmer weather returns, I am starting to make plans outdoors with friends. I had afternoon tea and made madeleines using this recipe. I had my first dinner out in a year, I will share more details about this next week. It was outside and felt relatively comfortable all things considered. Henri stayed home and I had serious mom guilt! Henri has a big week coming up with his second shot so he can socialize and his first haircut is scheduled. I think he has a few pounds of fur covering his little growing body! I wrote a blog post about Henri and me and our first two months here.

I really enjoyed this How I Built This podcast episode with Rick Steves. I completely forgot that leading up to my first trips in 2010/2013 to Paris I used to listen to a series Rick Steves did as audio that I had downloaded.

Henri and I cuddled on Friday night on the couch for the first time to watch Netflix. I got hooked on Ginny and Georgia. (Trailer) He put his head right on top of me and wanted to snuggle. It made all the hard times of this week seem not as bad.

I am intrigued by this Weeknight Baking cookbook.

When we will be able to travel to Europe according to Afar. This is very helpful and covers multiple countries and current states. This also makes me very sad.

Every Friday, Henri and I water the plants. I have a growing collection at home which he loves to destroy. This ā€œ I Love Youā€ planter is so cute. We might need it for one of our plants.

Navigating friendships during the pandemic. I have thought a lot about this lately. Some of my friendships feel like they have gotten stronger and others have fizzled out. It is really sad but this is the reality.

I am very into this hoodie and comfy shorts for the warmer months. I feel like my mom, sister, and I all need to match!

I added this to my skincare routine. A daily exfoliant is so important with soaking in creams and serums. Plus, this one helps with pollution in the air and changes in the environment.

The pandemic anniversary can be triggering. I know I was emotional at knowing how much the world changed a year ago. This article is helpful.
