Things I Love Lately // 6.27.14

• Camp Invention ~ Both Jones girls had a blast this week at this national science and engineering camp. If you happen upon a Camp Invention in your area, we highly recommend it! 
  
• Our second meal at Lumiere ~ Delightful company, amazing meals! 
  
• The French butter dish my friend Sarah gave me ~ I've been wanting one of these for a long time. I noticed she had one and when I commented about it, she promptly handed over an extra one her family had. It's so great! Soft butter, room temperature, no spoiling. Brilliant!
• Sharing great music with my littles ~ Wish you could hear us all belt out these tunes! 
  
• The decade+ set of diaries that my great-grandmother kept ~ My aunt just sent these to me and there is so much pleasure in paging through her memories and experiences. 
  
• Pio Pio ~ This is a terrific Peruvian restaurant in our 'hood. I cannot recommend enough the "#5." It's a delicious salad with shredded chicken, a ton of avocado and served alongside a crispy pile of perfect fries. Try it (with the green hot sauce--but watch out; that sauce is very spicy).
• Chorizo ~ Obviously. But my discovery of Trader Joe's Soy Chorizo has been a revaluation. Almost all the flavor without the bad stats. It's "guilt-free" chorizo. You should really try it!
