This is a fun little exercise for anyone to do at the end of each month. What were the highlights and new ideas you came across? Here’s my little wrap up of what I found inspiring this month.
Favorite new recipes (see meal plans for details)
- Skillet Roasted Whole Chicken. Set off the smoke alarm 4 times, but it was worth it.
- Coconut Chickpea Curry. A meatless winner for the grown ups, but not super kid friendly.
- Skillet Roasted Cauliflower and Sausage Rigatoni– delicious!
Reading
- The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing. Interesting ideas and good for people who need a jump start letting things go.
- The Blue Bistro– loving the Overdrive app and getting books downloaded to my Kindle app from the library
- Magazines with the Zinio app and discovering lots of free ones from the library
Listening
- Happy radio on Pandora to make us smile and think of summer
- Deva Premal while I work
- French Cafe radio while I’m cooking
Podcasts
- The Lively Show: Stopping the Glorification of Being Busy. I was so inspired by this chat I wrote a post on paper about it over vacation. Then I got to busy to post it.
- Brilliant Business Moms. Just so many good ones for small business owners, bloggers and busy moms juggling a lot of hats.

Hey Emily,
Thank you so much for the Brilliant Business Moms shout out! We appreciate it so much. I just picked up The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up from the library. I’m anxious to read it because I keep hearing mixed feeling about it. We’ll see!
