intentional living, little by little

{chit chat} Monday’s Catch Up Post

Happy Monday!  Sorry for the unintended blog breaks the past couple of weeks…life’s going full force these days and I’m just doing the best I can to keep up!  I’m sure I’m not the only mamma who feels that way some days.  So in an attempt to play catch-up, here’s a little of what we’ve been up to:

1. Expensive toys are so overrated.  One Amazon box + crayons = an entire morning of fun.  It’s hard to keep up, but I think this was an airplane or a spaceship.

2.  I’m trying to eat less grains, per the recommendation of my personal trainer husband.  This has proven harder than I thought!  Apparently I am a fan of all things bread!  I’m making baby steps though and Lent is a good time to practice.  Tonight’s dinner is pork carnitas wrapped in lettuce…I’ll let you know how it goes!  🙂

    
3. Power Rangers are BIG around here these days.  We’ve been watching old episodes on Netflix and the boys are enthralled.  According to boys, I am the Pink Ranger and the boys are either White, Red or Black, depending on the day.  Oh, the fun that comes with a house full of little dudes!

Miscellany Monday @ lowercase letters

P.S. To all of my Mamma Support Swappers: hopefully your packages to your partner have been mailed, but if not, please do so quickly! 🙂  I’d love to hear how the swap worked for you…if you ever do a blog post, please let me know!

    Your pictures are always so beautiful! (Just thought you should know!)
    On another note, I applaud you for trying something new in way of eating. I NEED to do the same thing. Are you on Pinterest? My sister has followed the Paleo way of life for about year now…and raves about it. I know Pinterest has lots of yummy meal and snack ideas floating around.

    I'm off to go find a box and some crayons now to wrangle in the oldest! 🙂

    That salad looks delicious! I love adding lots of yummy things to them! Chicken and cheese are some of favorites to add! 🙂
