Back to Normal

Vacation life is finally over! Being in Colorado for 10 days over the 4th of July was a blast and I plan to write all about it. My original plan was to write about it as soon as we got back but then plans changed. Instead I brought back a friend and her 2 littles along with my 2 nephews. We squeezed 9 people into our little house for several days. Once my friend headed back to Colorado we had 3 weeks of having a house full of boys! It was a crazy time for sure but made me excited to know that we are still growing our family. We are definitely not done yet. This house needs more pitter-patter for sure!

Now that things are slowing down getting back to normal it's back to trim healthy mama cooking, blogging and getting ready to start school. We also are getting started on building the tiny house! Finally! We are going to be having some great things happening over the next few months and I can't wait to share our projects with you. 

For now it's time to get the boys in bed for naptime and head back outside and remove nails from pallet slats! 
This is only a small pile of the wood that needs to be done! Got a lot to do before this weekend!

This is how I work on hot days! In the shade of the tree with shorts and boots! Gotta keep the feet safe from the rusted nails but it's hot!

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 ...
