What's on your Mother's Day menu?

good mornin y'all! Happy Mother's Day!

My brother and family are coming over today. I need to vacuum and clean the bathroom. Then make lunch, which won't be to awfully hard. My mouth is kind of bothering me a lot this morning. So annoying.

Jen, thanks for the suggestion of the ricotta bake! I totally forgot about her website so it should be super helpful.

QOTD: I'm not very creative this morning so let us know what's on your calendar this week?

I've got a phone appointment in the morning tomorrow and then my oral surgery in the afternoon. I'm very nervous over both. The first one is with social security. Wish me luck!

for all us animal moms...couldn't find a decent dog mom one!

Good morning ~ Happy Mothers Day! Yesterday was nothing like I had planned. I took a morning AND afternoon nap, having much needed lazy day. This means I have a ton to do today. I managed the grocery shopping though, so that is done and we watched Unfrosted last night. Rob laughed a bunch but wasn't a fan. I thought it was cute. Today, we are walking little girl, I want to clean and do laundry and then the kids are coming over for dinner and we will finally watch the Roast of Tom Brady and some Jeopardy Masters tournament episodes.

QOTD - I have a busy week of catch up at work, meetings most days and a pedi on Friday. A pretty typical week for me.

Accountability - Barely any movement, I ended the day with 3,365 steps. Breakfast and dinner were good, but lunch was a bowl of comfort carbs. No weight today as I was already drinking coffee before I realized, though I think it was intentional on many levels. Today should be active and I'm shooting for a very well planned food and exercise week.

B- coffee, egg and chicken sausage, protein toast

l - ham and cheese sandwich

d - spaghetti and cheesy garlic bread

Have a wonderful day!

Mornin' All! And happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!

we weren't planning on doing much today other than going over to my mother's apartment for dinner (I'm thinking of bringing a couple of poke bowls), but it's so nice out today that I might just have to get out and walk or bike (again!). I ate too much yesterday - stopped for ice cream midway through our bike ride and then went out for street tacos for dinner since I was too exhausted to make anything - but we biked almost 30 miles, so I'm not going to worry about it. I'm sure I worked off most - if not all - of it. I was originally thinking of making a Swedish midsummer cake today to take to Mom's, too - but I may just bring the poke bowls (take out) since I don't want to come home with 3/4 of a cake.

QOTD: not much. Tomorrow I'll go over to Mom's while an occupational therapist is there doing a safety assessment of her apt, since my mother will forget half of what the OT recommends. Then I have to take her to a dentist appt on Thursday. Wine & cheese party on Friday night, so I'll have to make something for that. I spotted a recipe for white chocolate and (freeze-dried) strawberry cookies - I might make those. I was originally thinking ginger snaps, but I can't get those strawberry ones out of my mind. Plus they seem more of a spring thing.

Good morning. Roger made me an adorable Mother's Day card up on his printer. Pictures of the kids and just really sweet. And not an $9 card that Hallmark charges these days. Cards are insane!

Yesterday was a successful day. Good food choices, even though I was absolutely starving all day. Good beverage choices. 50 minutes of exercise and 10,017 steps. And yes, I had to run in place for those last 400.

Today looks to be great. I'm planning a walk and a yoga stretch video. The kids and grands are coming to dinner. We have Foundation work to do first and then a glass of wine to be had. Maybe break out a nice bottle since it's Mother's Day and I am the mother. Ha! Other than that, we've got nothing. All the house work is done, laundry is caught up, yesterday we even washed every bit of the bedding. Fresh sheets, comforter, shams, ahhhhhhhhhh. Getting into bed last night was heaven.

QoTD: Lots of work outs this week. Book club on Wednesday. Dinner party on Saturday. Normal stuff to fill in the between times like grocery shopping. Maybe a movie on half price Tuesday?

Bites today

B: egg and cheese

L: chicken tenders

D: Yum! Carnitas and Roger is grilling Carne Asada and Mexican onions, will get authentic frijoles, guacamole, chips, chicharrons, crumbly Oaxaca queso and freshly made flour and corn tortillas. I'll skip the tortillas, but will have bites of everything else. Can't wait.

Peace Ya'll.

Take care of the Mama's in your life today.

Dinner sounds fantastic!! Enjoy your delicious, relaxing day!!
