1. I really need to start making oatmeal more regularly. It’s just SO good (even when it’s just made quick on the stove top with a little water and almond milk…and then topped with banana, a pinch of brown sugar, cinnamon, and peanut butter!).
2. Some nights, the stars align and we’re able to eat a full meal for dinner, all together, at the table, and there are no arguments. Other nights, we deal with meltdowns from an overtired toddler and eat takeout pizza because we forgot to take something out of the freezer…and we eat it wherever we can (aka, on the couch while nursing the little one so he’ll take a cat nap).
Never a dull moment, my friends!
3. I posted this pic on my Facebook page a couple of days ago, and for whatever reason, I’m just totally curious on how people take their coffee! So let’s hear it…what number are YOU? (and how many throughout the day!?). I’m usually 2 of #3. ;)
4. For those of you who follow along with the blog on Bloglovin‘ (thank you, by the way!) it looks like we’ve finally got the issue fixed where all of the blog comments were getting posted. So sorry about that…gotta love/hate technology sometimes!
5. Ummm…these shortbread cookies? FREAKIN AMAZING. One of my co-workers brought them over from the UK a couple of weeks ago when she was here (thanks Juliana!) and they rock. Errr, rather, they DID rock. They’re totally gone now.
6. It’s looking like we’re going to get another night out this weekend (YAY!) to be able to get out and do a little celebrating for the upcoming birthday (on Monday). Definitely looking forward to that!
7. Totally loved hearing all of your feedback from my Stitch Fix post on Wednesday (thank you!). I decided to just keep the sweatshirt and am totally going to be purchasing at least one of these shift dresses from Old Navy (thank you, thank you to all of you who recommended it!). I was back and forth on the pants but ultimately, even if it’s a trend now (I’m so out of the loop…) the hem would drive me crazy!
8. Have you guys seen/heard about these new Very Berry Cheerios? The kind folks at General Mills sent them over last week and I’ve totally enjoyed a few bowls as an evening snack. Lucas loves ’em too!
9. I’m thinking I need to do some new baking SOON. It’s been way too long! Any special requests you guys would like to see for new recipes? Cookies? Bars? Cupcakes? Valentine’s Day? Let me know!
10. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to best prevent your kids from licking their lips to the point where they’re super chapped? Lucas has been doing it to the point where it’s all red and chapped above his upper lip and it drives me crazy (as I’m sure it does for him, too!).
11. This face. I just…love him. <3
Alright my friends, I’m out for today! I hope you all have a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend ahead, whatever you may be doing!
