    Today is my brother’s birthday!  He is all the way in Thule, Greenland serving our country.  He’s also pretty awesome!  When he comes back from Thule in a few months, he and his family are headed to the UK for a few years.  I’m going to miss the crap out of him, my sister in law and my adorable little nephews!

    Happy Birthday Peter!! Hope you have a wonderful day.

    Quinoa

    Posted in: Recipes

    Quinoa is my new best friend.  Have you tried it?  I came across a recipe on Pinterest for Quinoa Fried Rice and immediately wanted to make it!  I finally did last night and am obsessed!! I didn’t follow the recipe so I just did my own thing.  Cooked the quinoa (1 cup) and then separately sautéed onions, bell pepper and scrambled 2 eggs into it.  Mixed it with my cooked quinoa and got to grubbin.

    It was amazing.  You should try it.  And if that pic above looks good to you, click on it and it will take you to Gina’s recipes!

    Momma Monday

    Posted in: Family

    Happy Monday friends.  Spring break is over for us and Shay is back to school.  It’s a little more quiet here this morning but I am glad we are back to a routine.  I sure will miss having that little guy home though.

    Last week we had some crazy days and it got me thinking am I really cut out to be a mother of 3???  I can handle a lot but man on those days when the two little ones are screaming and extra needy and the older on is talking back and not listening it makes you wonder how you are going to get through it with out losing your mind.

    Kapri is getting SO much better.  She is starting to sleep longer at night and is settling into a routine during the day.  I am actually able to get stuff done around the house and have awesome play dates/coffee girl time with friends while she sleeps.

    I sure do love these kids.

    I’m staring to work on my health and fitness and have been hearing a lot about this green smoothie/shake.  I naturally went to Pinterest to search for the recipe and realized that there were many different variations.  This one seemed the easiest and tastiest so I decided to give it a try and I am hooked!  I altered the recipe a little bit to my liking but you can really do anything with it.

    Here is what I put in mine:

    1 banana

    2-3 strawberries

    small handful of blueberries

    1/2 cup vanilla soy milk

    1 heaping tablespoon plain greek  yogurt

    large handful of spinach leaves

    a squeeze of agave.

    small cup of crushed ice

    Blend until it is all smooth and enjoy!

    The next one i’m trying is this one.

    2 posts in one day..whaaa??

    We went to the outlet mall yesterday not too far from our house and i seriously felt like we were part of a three ring circus!  Kapri screaming, Kross wanting to be carried, then in and out of the stroller, Shay sat in it when Kross got out and of course Kross wanted back in.  Left Kross’ shoes at a store because we had gotten him some new shoes and were so sidetracked with 3 kids that his old shoes were left no the floor.  We didn’t realize it until we were almost at the car clear across the other side of the mall!  So we head back to the store with Kapri and Kross screaming, people staring, hub and I just had to laugh at this point.  It’s a good thing both of us have some sense if you know what I mean.  Parenting is such a hard job. Totally worth it but gosh it sure is enough to make you lose your marbles sometime right?
