If You and I Had Coffee

If you and I had coffee...

We'd meet at our favorite little coffee shop and grab a couple of pastries. We're getting a lot more spring weather with some rain here and there. Pollen has also returned, so it'll probably be best to stay indoors for now.

If you and I had coffee...

I'd tell you that I've been watching My Happy Marriage on Netflix and enjoying this series. It's an anime adaptation based on the novel series. I haven't watched much TV and still have a lot of shows to catch up on. I'm also still on the hunt for a good documentary, so if you have any recommendations, please let me know.

If you and I had coffee...

I'd tell you that this has been a slow reading month for me. So far, I've only read about 8 books, which is very little for me. My favorite read of the month (so far) is A Little Drop of Courage by Hayley Kaye. I received this book from NetGalley and plan to write a review for the blog soon. 

If you and I had coffee...

I'd tell you that I suddenly have the urge to make mini cakes. This was after a trip to Michaels to find art supplies for Gabriel's project. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything for the project but found the cutest little 4.5-inch cake stand. I had to get it because I thought it would be perfect for the mini bundlets I love to buy from Nothing Bundt Cakes. However, I got the idea that I would try to make a mini cake for Raphael's upcoming birthday. I hope to get the rest of the supplies I need to make mini cakes by the end of next week, and I have been looking up recipes online. I think I may try to make my first mini cake next weekend...maybe for Easter?

If you and I had coffee...

I'd tell you I received good and bad news this month. One of my friends found out that she is expecting a baby. I'm so excited for her. That same day, I found out that a family friend passed away from cancer. It felt so strange to be celebrating new life while also mourning the loss of life. 

If you and I had coffee...

I'd tell you that this month has been emotional. It's the anniversary month of my baby brother's death (tomorrow is actually the day of his birth and death), and it still hurts so much. I have so many feelings, but I recently read this quote by Jamie Anderson that sums up how I feel: "Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go."

If you and I had coffee...

I'd tell you that I am so happy we were able to meet. I really needed this little coffee date this month, and I'm so grateful we could catch up. I hope you enjoy the rest of the month. 

What would you tell me?

Thanks for visiting!

Until next time...
