Friday Things
1. How did I all of a sudden end up with a mini teenager?! I mean, look at that little guy! I can’t handle his sweetness.
2. It has somehow turned back into winter here, which is thoroughly disappointing since we had already taken out our outside furniture and enjoyed it multiple times a few weeks ago. We woke up to snow multiple times in the last week!
3. This video of “the most organized house in America” has me wanting to organize ALL OF THE THINGS.
4. Hysterical >> If Toddlers Had Social Media.
5. While cutting back on carbs and processed food in short bursts has helped to refocus my eating habits when they’ve gotten off course, I have always been a very firm believer in the mantra of “all things in moderation”, so I enjoyed this article on what is clean eating. I especially agreed with the notion of transparency in foods.
6. Homemade instant pancake mix is such a good idea for quick breakfasts!
7. Once I get around to doing Konmari in my kitchen, I’m going to rock this kitchen spring cleaning list from Shutterbean.
8. I am absolutely smitten with the square foot gardens in this post!! I was only planning on small containers on the deck this year, but now I’m regretting that decision!
9. Do you watch the Masters? I’d love to go to Augusta one day, it looks so gorgeous and serene – bucket list! I’m rooting for Jordan Spieth to repeat!
10. TGIF! Duke usually sprints to the dog bed when he gets upstairs, but he actually waited at the top of the steps for me a few nights ago while I was finishing up some things downstairs :)
Thanks for sharing the article eating clean. I too agree with her. I come from a large Italian family where cooking & baking are an everyday occurrence. With all the food shaming that goes on, I actually felt guilty making my 85 yr old dad his favorite whiskey cake. Seriuosly, things have gotten so our of hand in our country. Everything is taken to the absolute extreme. PS, Your little guy is rocking that outfit & my two Goldens always wait for me too!!!
Hi Michelle! You must be a mind reader – it’s Saturday here in Australia and I made pancakes for brunch today using the premade mix! Te he!!! Your boy Joseph is adorable – what a killer smile – and Duke? OMG. He gives my goldie a run for his money in the cute department!!! Have a fab weekend! – Nagi
Joseph looks adorable! Let’s hope he’s as much fun to be around when he’s a teen:). Frankly I eat when I want when I want – I’m sick to death of all the people telling me this or that and the doctors, nurses, dietitians, trainers and so called “health experts” telling us things that they don’t practice themselves half of the time – the old saying “Doctor heal thyself” has never been more true and people need to stop judging others based on what they eat!
Joseph reminded me of The Fonz! I say Amen to the clean food article. I have spent most of my almost 63 years obsessing about being thin (which my genes and my palate reject) so I am going to enjoy the rest of my days eating healthy and indulging when I feel like it. I have yet to do the KonMari cleanse but will get to it soon. I can’t wait! Hope spring returns soon, we’ve had an amazingly hit Autumn in Oz and soon heading into (boo) winter. xo
AMEN to the “Clean eating is total BS” article. All of these qualifiers have really gotten out of hand….
I don’t have much time to comment today, but I just had to say how ADORABLE Joseph looks in that outfit! Kinda looks like Michael J. Fox’s outfit in Back to the Future! PRECIOUSNESS!
First time commenter… just wanted to say how much I appreciated the link to the “eating clean is total BS” article. The guilt heaped upon us for not having the “cleanest” diet, the perfectly chiseled abs, or the money to spend on organic EVERYTHING is just ridiculous. It’s refreshing to read an article that is pushing back just a little on this idea that has gotten so out of hand.
And now I’m off to bake your banana snack cake. It’s Friday and time to balance all that working out and healthy eating throughout the week with a treat :)
He is awfully cute…but enjoy the sweetness, because when he is a real teenager, not much sweetness to be had! ;) Have a great weekend.
Oh, so true?
