The Weekly Wrap: April 13, 2025

Yesterday, the kiddo and I hopped on a plane to Florida for her spring break. While she's being spoiled rotten by the grandparents, I'll be "working from home." At least DC's Emancipation Day on Wednesday is a holiday and I will get to join the glass bottom boat tour. I haven't done that since I was a kid.

​I don't know who's more excited? Me or her.  Probably me, because I know what we're in for and it's going to be a blast.

What kid activity do you want to try again?

• Alexander Ovechkin surpassed Wayne Gretzky's goal record this past Sunday. I'm so glad I was able to watch it at home with my husband. He's the one who turned me into a hockey fan. The kiddo even stuck around for a bit to watch the on ice hullaballo after Ovi hit 695. [Monumental]

• I only made one new recipe this week, cashew chicken lettuce wraps. It was so good and will immediately go into our rotation. This was the perfect, lighter meal to start the week with. I love the sauce. It's tangy with a bit of sweet and heat. The husband said this reheated well the next day. We served this with a side of edamame in the pod. [Eating Well]
• A friend and I went out for dinner in the middle of the week. We ended up at Teaism. I had  their spicy glass noodles with tofu. It was filling and delicious. But, I really loved the ginger limeade I added as a beverage. It was just the right amount of tangy and zippy to accompany the spicy noodles. [Teaism]
