Snack Attack! Garlic Toasted Almonds

Hey lovelies! Hope you all had a nice rejuvenating weekend.

Thought I would share my favorite snack with you guys :).

Lets not fool ourselfs this week. What do you always tell yourself every morning while walking out the door to work? Nah, I don't need to bring a snacks to work I dont need them. So, what do you do when 2:00 rolls around and your starving? You walk around the office looking for some chow. All everyone else has is candy, girl scout cookies, and more candy. Not that those things aren't delish but, I mean you could have defiantly stayed clear of it if you would have brought a snack! One of my fav parts of this snack is the fact that it takes about 3.5 seconds to make. Okay 3.5 minutes but its fast I promise!

This is something she wrote to me " I don't believe in accidents or luck, I believe in the Universe and that everything happens for a reason"  I was like WOW! Thank you for saying that, we should all believe in that and the world would be a better place am I wrong? Well, here she is folks and as Cortne always says; "lay back relax, and kick your boots off".

Holla!

Sophia Grace is in the house!

This precious girl said it all!

What are you thinking?

What is your nature?

What do you love?

And do those around you accept you for who you are?

Acceptance

Because

I

Am

Me!

This is another outspoken, fun, little Pink lady that says it as she sees it.

No holds barred.

This is me.

Accept me for who I am...

My little Peanut had an orthodontist appointment yesterday.

And I came across this magazine, Redbook.

Well, seeing Pink on the cover made me take a back step, a pirouette, then a little curtsy!

I love a little Pink, just like Sophia Grace likes the color.

Redbook interview.

Question about her daughter, Willow.

Behviors that are different than our own.

It could be your best friend, mother, daughter, son, brother, father, husband, the list goes on.

Do we take their personality and let it reflect upon ourselves?

Or do we just let the person,

BE.

If we take their behavior personal,

doesn't it become less about who they are and more about who we are?

It becomes about our own insecurites and assumptions.

What case are we making for ourselves that make us feel our way is right and their way is wrong.

Accept the truth of who they are.

Free yourself of how you think they should behave.

Curb your judgements about them or their situations.

Allow those you love the space to express themselves the way that is natural to them, without judgement.

The less we take personally, the more we can embrace and enjoy the ones we love.

In that process we gain:

Compassion

Self-awareness

Clarity

Joy

I really took in what Pink said, "I'm not going to take any of her fierceness personally."

This article spoke volumes to me today.

I am quilty of taking a person I love behaviors too personal as well.

I

will

let

them

BE.

Namaste,

Waffle & Pancake Bar!

This weekend we had a brunch for my cute aunt Colette's Birthday it was a lot of fun. Dylan {the hubs} loves to make pancakes. So I thought, what would be more fun than to make a waffle & pancake bar? That way everyone can top whatever they want on their waffle or pancakes! It was a lot of fun. We had everything from peanut butter and jelly, to sprinkles and whip cream! I asked all you guys on Twitter. Thank you guys so much for all your input I used MOST of them.
Here is a healthy waffle idea you could make for your waffle & pancake bar just click here.

Banana's with brown sugar and/or strawberries with Truvia

Chocolate Chips

Cinnamon & Sugar

Syrup: Heated of course :).

Now, what would you have for your toppings for your waffle & pancake bar??

House Reveal
