lovely links

Well, guys, it’s official: I’ve turned into THAT MOM. The one that takes her kid to the doctor at the first sign of a sniffle, the one who Googles symptoms (although I know I shouldn’t), the one who texts her entire social network to see if anyone else’s kid has shown the same symptoms recently. It’s silly, I know, and I kind of hate it – but the reality is that having a sick kid with two kids is exponentially harder than just having one sweet one with the sniffles.

 

Good news though? Everyone’s well again (for the most part) and I only have about 20 more grey hairs. Which reminds me, I need to get my hair done badly to cover that goodness up. I’m not anti-aging – what a blessing it is to grow older! – but I would still be OK with having less obvious grey streaks. You know, just a vanity thing. But still.

 

This weekend I’m looking forward to sunshine, yard work, and celebrating the risen Lord. And really, nothing can compare with that last one! Y’all enjoy these links and I hope you have the best Easter!

 

1. If toddlers had Facebook…HYSTERICAL! (If Toddlers Had Facebook)

2. How Adam LaRoche’s decision to quit quickly became greater than baseball. I’ve loved this story since I first heard it, and hearing his response is incredibly refreshing in a world that idolizes “success.” (The Washington Post)

3. On how women can make magic happen. Ladies, read this. 3 minutes of your time could change the way you view yourself and others forever. (Amber Salhus)

4. How to make time & space. Convicted and encouraged. (Ann Voskamp)

5. I wish someone would spoon-feed me Christina’s baby’s food while singing to me like this. (Dessert for Two + Charles Only)

6. LOVE these spring roll bowls with sweet garlic lime sauce – sounds like dream food to me! (Pinch of Yum)

7. This was something I needed to be reminded of – that pro-life includes ALL LIFE. (HuffPost Politics)

8. Scary that these things are keeping American kids from being good writers…and just think what that will do to our future! (Intellectual Takeout)

9. 14 true stories of feral children. Gorgeous and haunting photographs, chilling stories – and for me a reminder that there are always children who need a loving home. (EMGN)

10. How 35 years of apps have changed the way our desks look. Interesting! (Jocelyn K. Glei)

Just popping in from the place moms flock to on ra Just popping in from the place moms flock to on rainy days just to get out of the dang house: the aisles of Target. šŸ˜‚ Not a lot to say, but I’m going to leave you  with 3 affirmations I want you to repeat to yourself today:

ā¤ļø I AM STRONG
ā¤ļø I AM CAPABLE
ā¤ļø I AM ENOUGH

BECAUSE YOU ARE. Have a wonderful day friends!
Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smo Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smoothie has 40 grams of protein, lots of green goodness and tastes like a pineapple-vanilla dream!

- 1 cup water
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
- 1 cup frozen kale or spinach
- 1 scoop vanilla protein
- 1 serving collagen peptides (I use 2 scoops of @bulletproof brand; some brands just have one big scoop)
- 1 scoop greens powder (I used @amazinggrass)

Blend and enjoy!
šŸ„— FAST FOOD! Real real: I hate when people are šŸ„— FAST FOOD!

Real real: I hate when people are all, ā€œyou can cook food in the same time it takes to grab takeout.ā€ That is not always true, and sometimes it’s just about not wanting to try. Effort is hard, amen?!

Today I’m thankful to have had the energy and want-to to cook something a little healthier and save a little money. That’s not always the case, but today it was and I’ll count it as a win!

In the bowl: 3/4 cup black beans, 1/4 cup corn, 2 big handfuls of spinach, and two eggs. Seasoned it all with salt, pepper, garlic and smoked paprika!

Any wins y’all feel like sharing today? Let’s hear it and celebrate!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thi Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thing I’ve been eating on repeat all week):

- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (optional)*
- 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
- 1 serving unflavored collagen peptides
- Sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

Heat the oats, water, milk and coffee in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened to your liking (although keep in kind the flax seeds and cooling will thicken it even further). Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips; I like to use a whisk to make sure the collagen doesn’t clump. Pour in a bowl, sprinkle with the chocolate chips and enjoy!

*I love to add a little coffee to mine to help enhance the chocolate flavor, but you do you!

Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but thought it was worth sharing here too. When it comes to how I plan out meals, I look for 3 things:

šŸ„—Whole foods. Not like the store (that’s called Whole Paycheck, right?), but meaning foods that haven’t been minimally processed. Fresh veggies, lean protein sources, whole grains, etc. I do have a few processed things on hand (protein bars) just in case I’m in a place where I need something SUPER quick, but that’s it. 

šŸ„—High fiber. There are so many reasons we should be getting in plenty of fiber (Google is your friend here guys), but if I’m being honest I just feel better when I’m getting plenty of it. Leaner, more regular, more satiated. The list goes on! Besides the obvious fresh produce, I also eat plenty of legumes, whole grains (rolled oats, farro, quinoa - even though it’s a seed), flax and chia seeds.

šŸ„—Hit my protein goals. Again, an essential nutrient. I have composition goals, and for my muscles to recover from my hard workouts I have to make sure I’m getting in enough protein. For me this means chicken, fish, and the occasional beef or pork.

Wondering - would y’all be interested in how I do my meal planning and shopping trips?  If so just drop your favorite emoji below!
It’s Friday, which means a myriad of things:

1ļøāƒ£Weekend vibes! Think soccer games, yard work, church, family time. Love it!
2ļøāƒ£The end of my meal prep. Not gonna lie, I won’t make this stew again...although the couscous was a fun addition!
3ļøāƒ£Sleeping in. HALLELUJAH.
4ļøāƒ£A chance to set up next week to be a great one!

It’s going to be a fabulous weekend y’all. What are you up to?!
#brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick #brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick myself for not showing y’all how orange these yolks were. šŸ³ Eggs are one of the foods I spend a little more on because the flavor and nutrient density are worth it!

Pictured: seared mushrooms, roasted baby broccoli, bacon and 2 eggs. Not pictured: another parfait like last night’s because šŸ˜‹.
