Fun Facts Friday {8/23}

By Courtney 41 Comments

1. Tomorrow marks the return of the Summer Yard Olympics. Hopefully I’ll be able to go and defend my title! I’m so looking forward to it.

2. Lucas gave me a full five hour stretch of sleep last night, followed by another solid three hours. That makes me one happy (and slightly less exhausted mama).

3. Speaking of Lucas (aka, Smiles McGee)…

How is going to be four weeks old tomorrow. FOUR WEEKS?! Can someone please show me where the “pause time” button is?

4. I have winners for both my Reebok CrossFit Nano giveaway AND the Fruttare coupon giveaway (thanks to all who entered!)…

Reebok Nano Giveaway Winner – Ashley Renee

Fruttare Coupon Winner – Lauren A

5. I made THE most incredible salad for lunch yesterday.

I just love fruit in my salads! Strawberries, cranberries, and green grapes, along with cukes, carrots, and some sliced deli turkey. The only thing missing was some feta cheese. YUM.

6. You know it’s the end of softball season when it seems like there are games happening just about every night of the week. Lucas and I will be heading down to the fields again tonight for the third time this week…but really, I don’t mind. It helps get us out of the house and he sleeps almost the whole time.

7. Some days, I’m really missing our garden. Specifically, all of the amazing zucchini we wound up with. In case you happen to find yourself in the same boat as I was last year, be sure to check out some of my favorite zucchini recipes from last year:

In order from left to right:

  • Zucchini Latkes
  • Zucchini Cupcakes with Creamy Caramel Frosting
  • Zucchini Banana Chocolate Chip Bread
  • Zucchini Oatmeal Bread
  • Light & Tasty Zucchini Casserole

8. I started writing out this post this morning at about 9:30am…it’s now 2:03pm. Sheesh.

9. It’s about time to wrap things up here. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend ahead! I’ll chat with you all soon. Smile xoxo

    Isn't it funny how things can sidetrack us so much when writing a post? At least you have Mr. smiley to distract you over there. What a little hunk!

    Awww...the pic of you and Lucas is so adorable! What a big smile on him!!! Oh yes, fruit in salad is definitely the best. Summer is flying by, and I'll definitely be missing all the awesome fruits/veggies this time of year. Have fun at the game tonight!

    Ah, his smile! So cute! Zucchini recipes always look so appealing, but I've never tried to make anything because it looks difficult, too. Might have to try a twist on that bread though :)

    Omygoooodness~I don't know if it's just me but Lucas looks exactly like Jay! It's so cool to see that resemblance, haha! And I agree that fruit in salad is the bomb. Panera bread's salads are so yummy because of the fruit bits they put in 'em.
