From Instagram:  Exploring.

Last week we finally finished celebrating Christmas (although our decorations are still up…), with a trip to our local children’s museum to with my dad and his wife. Their Christmas gift this year included an annual membership to the museum for our family, and the kids had so much fun exploring all it has to offer.

I’m looking forward to heading back regularly for scheduled events, to meet the new artists-in-residence, and to just play and explore (especially on a weekday when lots of kids are in school!). And I’m really excited about the reciprocal memberships in the Association of Children’s Museums and Association of Science-Technology Centers so that we can explore other museums for free or at a discount as well!

What I’m reading: Interrupted by Jen Hatmaker, The Funeral Dress by Susan Gregg Gilmore, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

What I cooked: shrimp scampi zoodles, pizza, apple pancakes (just add shredded apple, cinnamon and double the eggs in your regular pancake recipe!)
