Meal Planning Monday

April 29, 2019

Anyone else hit a funk at the end of the school year? Suddenly I don't know what I want to eat, cook, think about, nada. Nothing! I need more time in the evening (I'm looking at you 6 month old) and some inspiration. Oh... and my old kitchen back. I get zero joy cooking in this squished up apartment. Monday | Quesadillas with goat cheese, chicken, gala apple, spinach, and avocado with berries Tuesday...

Chocolate Peanut Butter Macro Protein Bar

April 24, 2019

Macro bars that are essentially meal replacements are all the rage this year. The only issue... the cost. I can not for the life of me stomach paying 2 bucks per bar.  I needed something easy and on the go though. I just can't stand dragging a protein shake to church or on the go. Plus, my shake isn't quite as amazing once it's sat in my fridge at work all morning long.  I recently...

How a Hair Tie Saved My Sanity

April 17, 2019

I generally can’t remember anything.  Especially something in the mundane task department.  So you can probably imagine that motherhood is going great for me.  Where did I put that? What time? Oh crap we forgot an appointment? How many ounces do you give a 4 month old baby? What’s for dinner? Where are his shoes? How much sleep did I actually get?  Nothing, I maintain nothing.  I...

Things I Bought & Liked | March

April 10, 2019

Here's another month of what I've been up to per Amazon. There are a few items that haven't been used yet... impending camping trip. But let's get into it anyway >>> Revlon Teasing Brush | I've been needing an update and this looks like what my hairstylist uses... so I ordered one. I'm liking it for a less harsh tease. For a full on tease you'll need the old fashion comb for sure. Molina...

Elliot | Month 5

April 5, 2019

This month's theme... rolls. We've got more rolls than a sushi restaurant. Month 5 has brought hair growth, a resolution to the cradle cap, and lots of giggles. Elliot's Current Stats: ❊ Age – 5 months old ❊ Weight & Height – I'll weigh him this weekend.  ❊ Eat – Nurses well but is easily distracted these days. What's on TV? Is that Harrison?...

Currently April

April 3, 2019

Today I'm linking up with Ann over at In Residence for her monthly Currently series! Experiencing || Right now we are clearly in the parental experience of what on earth does one do about PreK. I honestly always saw these parents crying over entering Kindergarten, but instead me (and many a friend folk) seem to be lamenting the struggle to place your kiddo into PreK. The main issue being that...

Meal Planning Monday

April 1, 2019

This week is a hard core clean out the pantry plan. Rouses just opened in town (it's a South LA grocery chain) and they mailed out $10 coupons for $50 or more spent... so we are shopping there. To keep it cheap I am planning the meat/veg/side game and not planning elaborate meals. Less ingredients = cheaper meals. With that said, I shopped the pantry this morning and noticed 2 packs of low carb...
