Up on the Couch...On a Monday

Warning: graphic photo below!

Ah Mondays...full of hope for the new week- until your baby poops all over you ~ and then throws up all over the car seat. Yay!

Whyyyyyy????

Sometimes it's hard to find those moments to really appreciate the domestic life. Especially when the sickness hits the family!

Jus' chillin'. My firstborn and my last born enjoying a <rare> quiet moment.

4-Year-Old Things

Or should I say 4 and a half- as my daughter always corrects me...

She said she wanted to "pour a little bit of cereal for sister."

NOT keeping her room clean since 2011.

Ken and Barbie were going for a swim. Facedown.

"Mom I want to play this grown-up game." How about no.

Watching Harry the Bunny while digging for gold.

That's all folks!

Doomsday Prepper Starter Kit

Supposedly we're due for a big earthquake in the next several years here on the west coast. Some might say I'm neurotic, maybe a little OCD. Hi, mom. However, it's never too early to be prepared. Or at least that's what my over-thinking brain tells me.

All the necessities. Like Perrier. And our dog. Who is wondering what is wrong with me.

P.S.-Top Ramen might be the most perfect Prepper food EVER! Lots of calories and it never expires. Thanks Costco. 

Recipe Monday

Who doesn't love a huge piece of cheese pizza? I mean c'mon. Cheesy carb-y and melty. YES PLEASE. Behold my recipe for your own <large> slice.

Ingredients:

1 car with gas 

1 Costco membership

$1.50

Directions:

Pay your $ and stuff 'yo face in the car like a real savage.

Enjoy.

Healthier Nachos

Growing up my mom was such a health nut. All I wanted was Kraft Mac & Cheese and Capri Suns. And remember those squeezy juice things that you twisted the top off of? What were they called? Can't a girl get some high fructose corn syrup up in here?!

My mom always said one day I would thank her for healthy eating habits. Thanks mom.

In that spirit and the general nacho-loving spirit I made these. Same salty crunchy satisfaction as the traditional kind, but slightly healthier. Win-win.

Ingredients:
About 20 baked blue corn chips
1/2 cup reduced fat mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup guacamole or half of a chopped avocado
1/4 cup salsa
1/2 cup garbanzo beans (optional, great for extra fiber!)

Place chips in bowl or on a plate and melt the cheese in your oven broiler until just melted. Then top with other ingredients & enjoy!

Thanks mom.

It's Summer Y'all!

Sunny and 73 degrees in the Portland area today- all the Oregonians be like: "it's summer!!!" Gardening, ice cream, washing cars. Until next week~ when it's 50 degrees again. YOLO.

Mom LYFE. 

(Don't worry fellow germaphobe friends-this was a couple of weeks ago. We will hang out germ-free this week.)
