We did have school today…it felt like a Monday. But with the knowledge that Friday was just around the corner. No complaints, here. Also, it’s been snowing since noonish – and I was home by 4:30 and in my pajamas. Snow makes things cozy.
Breakfast

Oatmeal cooked in water, raisins, earth balance, milk, walnuts
Lunch/Snacks

Veggies, clif bar, homemade granola bar, leftover couscous, apples
For dinner, I had really good intentions. I came home, made sloppy joes, and just as I was about to eat I realized that I was disgusted by the idea of ground turkey. Boo.
I made this instead.

Sprouted grain tortilla (Ezekiel), ½ avocado, cucumber, sprouts, kalamata olives

plus a salad
Then I nestled onto the couch with a mug of hot chocolate protein shake.

I haven’t wanted anything hot to drink in months. I think it was the snow, but this tasted so good. Just almond milk and protein powder warmed up in the microwave. Yum city.
Look who else is making herself cozy…

just a giant doggie chillin’ on a small couch
And we are not too far off from making Baby Cake’s room nice and cozy.
Before

During

Meeker did the tedious edging, while I rollered paint all over the wall (and myself). My job was much more fun.
After

Now we just need furniture.
In the 3rd grade world…
This morning’s journal prompt was:
Are you more like an avalanche or a snowflake?

I’m never ever ever ever going to be a snowflake.



Babycakes is going to have such a lovely room- I love that pretty shade of purple you chose! Purple was my fav color when I was little.
And you’re right- snow totally makes everything cozier!

I absolutely love that color on the walls!
oh my gosh, that avalanche thing is too funny.
also that wrap looks amazing. i want to make it when i get home from skiing.
your dog is so cute. if i was going to get a big one, it would be a german shepherd.
That mug of cocoa indeed looks very cozy. I love that babycakes gets a purple accent wall; that’s what I had in my room growing up!
Hahaha how cute!
Hah, great prompt and response! And I love that color on Babycakes wall-I wish I had a wall that color.
hahahaha omg I LOVE your little tid bits at the end from the kiddos!!! love love love it!
I made protein hot chocolate the other night it was goooood!
Well I have to say in his defense that avalanches are much more macho than snowflakes
Aw, hon – LOVE your posts! (or lurve or whatever the kids say nowadays.) But honestly – I’m not a fan of the olives. Seriously – they’re top 3 on the list of “ways to slowly torture Adj.”
Good luck with the last bit of the pregnancy! I’m heading to Pittsburgh to meet my new goddaughter! (She’s an adoption so my BFF is driving in from Chicago for the birth!)
Aww! Cute lil’ kid! LOL
Girl, your wasting food! jk. Have meeker eat it! Your wrap looks bomb though!
Not to worry, Meeker happily ate two enormous sloppy joes to make up for my lack of eating one. Husbands are good for that.
When I was pregnant, the only meat I could stomach the thought of was steak. Pregnancy does crazy things to you!
Love the color of babycake’s room!!!
Well, I would never ever ever be an avalanche. Snowflakes for me!
I love the color in babycakes room. So fun!
Haha. I still don’t get what it means to be an avalanche but apparently this guy does NOT think a snowflake is where it’s at.
LOVE the purple wall! Can’t wait to see what you do with the rest of the room!
i love your protein almond milk creation!! and that color is so vibrant i love it!!
aahhhahah i would SO be an avalanche too!
The room looks great! I love the writing. Who wants to be a snowflake really…just drifting? That kid wants to make a statement and I like it. Too cute!
your wrap looks really good!! I can’t wait to see the end results of the nursery! so fun!!
I want to paint my walls that color! I’m sure the little baby cake will LOVE the room!
Loooo-ooove that color! Great choice
I’m also glad to hear that birthing class made you feel more comfortable with the thought of giving birth… I think that act is what freaks me out the most about being pregnant.
That is the cutest little line about snowflakes : )
Babycake’s room is adorable! I really like the purple.
There is a children’s resale shop that I drive by on my way to work called Punky’s. It always makes me think of your doggie!
I love the purple color of your walls-so pretty! What kind of protein powder do you use? I’ve been in the market for some chocolate protein powder, but the ones I really want to try (JayRobb and BioChem) are also the most expensive! I’d love to know what you use! Thanks;)
Love your daily eats! I’m nervous about when I get preggers and my wacky cravings-i’m all over the place now!
Absolutely *love* the color choices in the baby’s room! So bright, cheery and fun.
I love your 3rd grade class. They always make my day.
I love the purple!!! I’ve actually have been wanting to paint my room. I’ve just got to choose the color and find the weekend to do it.
Awh, 3rd graders are so cute!!!
what a pretty purple shade! love it.
