Well, here goes!
I want to see how much I can write in 15 minutes and just post it!
Daily blogging is my goal, but so often I don't even start typing the posts I write in my head, because I know I won't have or take the time to do them justice! #downwithperfectionism
Several days ago, I joined a group of friends who have decided to give up something they feel is detrimental and add in something positive until Easter. Sorta "Lentish" although I'm not totally sure what Lent really is or means. We just want to become more self-denied and try harder to be our best selves! I have decided to give up phone time from supper until bedtime endeavoring to be fully present with my family instead of distracted with messages, browsing, shopping etc. And for my "add-in" I chose blogging! Thus this post!
We have been having the best time ever with Alisha, Isla, and Jemma being here for a week over Daniel's mom's 60th birthday! Which makes me feel writers' overload; so many things I could touch on that I don't know where to even start! And if I'm gonna cover much in the few minutes I have remaining, I think I should just jot some random bullet points as they come to me!
- Navarre Beach is truly Florida's Most Relaxing Place as advertised! Felt so blessed to be able to spend 4 nights together in THIS ocean-front townhouse, making amazing family memories, and basking in the blissful sunshine! The water was cold, but the weather was absolute perfection!
- Two toddlers make a terrible combination in a kate spade outlet store.
- Danielle is THREE as of March 20, 2019!
- Throwing a simple beach-themed birthday party takes a village. #thankseveryone
- It takes a little pink pair of scissors, a bottle of water, an iPad, a small Barbie doll with accessories, and a sucker for a successful "tee-tee" session. Who knew?!
- Don't ask me how my courage with this whole potty training thing is going. Reference pic below.
- I love Taco Tuesday. So lovely to always know what's for supper! Tonight was simple stir-fried chicken tender chunks in olive oil with garlic salt and black pepper in a flash-fried white corn tortilla topped with cheese, sour cream, and blended mild Pace picante salsa. Mine had the additional essentials of green onion and a squeezed wedge of lime! Chips and salsa on the side and - voila! Faster than Blue Apron or Hamburger Helper!
- Ginger Lime Diet Coke! Wow. They got it right with that combination!
- Now I want to try all the flavors! Have any of y'all developed new faves?
(Confession: It took me 40 minutes to write this instead of 15! But hey, at least it got me back in the groove again! An "add-in" WIN!)
The chicken pic made me snort!! 🤣
ReplyDeleteAt least it didn't quadruple as long as 15 min to write the post! 😅
True that!! lol
DeleteThe chicken! My toddler does the same thing!!!!😆
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, but it's NOT! :)
DeleteCourage with the potty training!🙄🤨😭😖😂😂
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! You are my inspiration!!
DeleteLOL the chicken!!! The ginger lime is good! Have you tried the Acai Blueberry? That's the next one on my try list. The Orange Vanilla is a bit strange... Enjoyed your post!
ReplyDeleteThe ginger lime was my first one! I hope to soon get them all sampled though!!
DeleteGood luck with the potty training! The chicken is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it though?! My sis-in-law posted it and I just had to share it's so applicable right now lol.
DeleteI can well identify with starting out to write for 15 minutes and ending up with 40! Hey at least it gets us started! Sad to say, I can also identify with the chicken ��. But it's really nice to know about another just-turned-3-year-old (besides mine) who isn't fully potty trained. Misery loves company, ya know! Maybe when y'all get it figured out you can tell us how!!
ReplyDeleteDeep down, I know it's me, the mom, who I am the most frustrated with!! If I would just carve out a week to stay home and just DEAL with it instead of jsut hoping she'll soon magically WANT to ALWAYS go on the pot....maybe next week! ;)
