My Birthday Too!

So only a few days after Monkey's birthday is mine and we celebrated by going to breakfast at the local Jimmy's Egg where I splurged at and some delicious pancakes with white chocolate chips and raspberry sauce...oh so yummy!

Then we headed to the local store and I went and got a few things that we needed, shampoo and conditioner (because once again No Poo is just not working but more on that later), chicken wings for dinner, and a replacement for my handheld mixer that broke. Daddy and the boys went looking for a gift for me.
Goose got me some very pretty tulips! 
Monkey spent a very long time looking at all the necklaces trying to pick out the perfect one for me. This one comes with little colored birthstones to put inside for each of us. I told him that now we just have to convince Daddy to have 8 more babies so we can have one for each month. He liked the idea but Daddy didn't so much. 
Sunbeam® Mixmaster® Stand Mixer, White
And since this mixer wasn't much more than a handheld one we spent the extra money and got a stand mixer. We will see how it compares to the Kitchenaid that I really want. But really it's more because of all the fun attachments that can go with it. Maybe one day I'll have $500 extra dollars laying around to get the mixer and even more for all the attachments I would like.

Then we headed home and the whole family took a nap. What else does a Mommy want than a nap on her birthday! Then I made myself some THM approved Hot Wings with some broccoli and cauliflower. It was delicious! Overall it was just a great family day! And then tonight my sister in law cooked a delicious meal with salmon, asian coleslaw and wasabi mashed potatoes. It was pretty darn good. She also made a creamed cake with cookies in it. I had two helpings and was stuffed after all the food I ate. Getting back on plan tomorrow! I thought I'd go ahead and just enjoy this birthday week! So much fun!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
