Reading: Why Not Me. When you laugh so hard that you pee your pants.

Deciding: that Wednesdays should be made for margaritas, regardless of the season.

Seeing: everything new through this bug’s eyes.

Wishing: for this cheese plate everyday at happy hour. Can it magically appear? This is what I made for Eddie’s birthday happy hour last week and it probably ranks up there as #1 for my favorite appetizers and snacks.

Hoping: that I can find mallo cups in the grocery store already. (and maybe peanut butter cup pumpkins because they are > then regular peanut butter cups. Duh.)

Making: this whacked out banana drizzle toast once a week or so. It’s no biggie, but a big deal. It makes the day feel fancy even if you’re wearing the same workout clothes for the third day in a row. Do you feel me?

{5 grain sourdough > swirled vanilla almond and chocolate hazelnut butters > sliced bananas > cinnamon sprinkle > coconut butter drizzle > hemp hearts.}

sidenote: WHAT on earth happened to Justin’s chocolate almond butter? Was it discontinued? Am I way late to that party? Ugh.

Feeling: like animal print is absolutely a neutral.

Dreaming: of this homemade affogato that I was making a few weeks ago. I miiiiiight have had a little issue with it. Daily.

Wondering: if I can one day have a big ass pink espresso/cappuccino/fancy coffee drink maker in my kitchen, even if it takes up three feet of counter space.

Snacking: on coconut oil popcorn with this salt. Erryday.

Embarrassing: myself constantly by using words like the above.

Remembering: our weekend fun with these ones and finally meeting them after six years of loving and crushing and admiring. SO FUN.

Flipping: over the fact that my husband set up a weekly recording of Total Divas on E! Why? Just why?

Chasing: him everywhere because he loves to move! The number of pictures have dwindled dramatically.

Throwing: our toes in the air like we just don’t care.

Struggling: to STILL find my own identity when I still want to be 100% doing two things I love 100% of the time always. To incorporate the ways that being a mom has changed my life while still feeling like my authentic self. To deal with feeling stale and stuck and boring. To wish I had more time to put out incredible content.

Vowing: to not live in puffy vests this winter.

Eating: 

  1. this insanely delicious roasted green posole from Ashley’s Date Night In. Holy cow was this fantastic. See also: we may have used some of the leftovers for nachos. Eeeeep.

2. Sweet and spicy chicken salads, at least once per week. Gets us through.

Trying: to desperately decorate and add some style to this home but GUYS. I HAVE NO HOME DÉCOR TASTE. Seriously. I buy the wrong things, I put things in the wrong places, I search for inspiration and nothing looks like I want it to. I keep buying things with flowers (?why?) and now it looks like I live with an 80 year old. I just have such a terrible design eye. HALP me.

Loving: that this is literally all that matters.

Wanting: you to know that I appreciate you. Tell me something good. Or give me a spotify playlist? Either way.
