I’ve had a nice weekend so far. It’s been fun because…
I’ve been enjoying the 74F and sunny San Diego weather
I went on a power walk with Scott and Skylar
I heated up the last of my Chipotle Salsa Lentils & Mixed Vegetables leftovers. Leftovers save my sanity.
And it’s been productive because…
I worked.
I cleaned. Swiffering my floors always makes me feel productive.
I did laundry.
I sat at my desk making Valentines for Skylar’s 18 friends for her Valentine’s Day party.
Each child is the lucky recipient of either a mini Crunch bar or a mini Butterfinger bar inside their Valentine.
x 18
Meaning, Skylar is likely going to come home with 18 types of candy. Sugar much?
From my last post about Being Grateful and Thankful, thanks for chiming in with all the wonderful things you’re grateful and thankful for! I love hearing those things because it reminds me, and reminds all of us, that we all have so much that is good. Which enables us to stop sweating the small stuff when we focus on all the wonderful things we all have.
Dessert: Coconut Banana Cookie Bites (Raw, Vegan, GF)
You can make these in the oven if you don’t have a dehydrator. Or don’t have the patience for your dehydrator. Ahem, that would be me lately.
Questions:
1. How has your weekend been so far? Have you done anything fun or productive?
Next up on my list is to blog about a recipe I created this morning. I was productive in the kitchen. And now I have to get productive at my keyboard.
2. How’s your weather?
I won’t rub it in that it’s been perfect here
And that the flowers are blooming and I can feel the days getting slightly longer with each passing day. I love that. Spring is maybe in the air.
3. Any big Valentine’s Day plans?
I mentioned our plans, or lack thereof, here.
Have a great V-Day Weekend!
Productive yes, but not the kind of productivity I need right now. Gah…you reminded me I need to do laundry. And I hate laundry.
What a cute idea for valentines, I’ve never seen ones where the candy comes inside.
The weather has been perfect here in Santa Monica too – it was 80 degrees today and not a cloud in the sky! I love watching the days get longer too. Even when it’s sunny and warm, longer days make a huge difference.
The extent of my Valentine’s Day plans are to cook a nice meal for my boyfriend and eat some chocolate – maybe it’s time I thought of something more exciting to do.
Ahhh I have to make those dessert bites! They look so yummy:) My weekend has included an AWESOME spin sesh, it was rockin and kicked my batooty! And plenty of hulu:)
I love days where I can just bust through every thing I have to do and feel so accomplished. I went to town organizing my recycling today, because it was more productive than obsessing over a job interview I went on yesterday for a job I realllly want.
Aren’t those Valentines toooo cute?? I feel like holidays are so great for kids – such fun, pleasure! I’ve never really been big on it, I just don’t care too much, but we’re doing it this year because it seems like fun. We’re going out to dinner at Blossom (Matthew Kenney’s restaurant) and he sent me a bouquet of vegan chocolate roses. That’s a man :)
please lmk how blossom is!!!!
Sounds like a nice weekend :) Good family time and productive activities always make me feel so good! The Coconut Banana Cookie Bites look just awesome. The weather here is improving! Its supposed to be nice tomorrow and all next week! I can’t wait. Valentine’s day plans…not much! We don’t really do a lot to celebrate the holiday. We got new running shoes- thats about it;)
I wish I had a bunch of a Valentine’s day cards to give/ receive! those were the best!
I always get such a kick seeing photos of you and Skylar with your matching mother-and-daughter 1000 megawatt smiles! Scott sure is a lucky fella to have all those happy smiles gracing his life.
love it: 1000 megawatt smiles
:)
It is warming up in Saskatchewan!!!!!!!!!!!! It is so nice to not be freezing all the time :-)
I have to make or buy some valentines treats for my students.
A kid cant go wrong with a Butterfinger or Crunch Bar! PS…its 30 here in Indy..super….Enjoy that warm weather…
As for Valentines I’m making homemade garlic hummus, homemade marina sauce, homemade whole wheat noodles, and homemade brownies, roasted zucchini boats filled with corn and bean salsa, and slow roasted Roma tomatoes for the ol lady for our Valentines day
You look fabulous and glowing in that picture, Averie!
thank you :)
Frrrreeezing here in NYC. Ugh wish I was still in Florida with my family.
Too bad you can’t put some your delicious raw desserts in the Valentine’s instead ;)
You and Skylar are so beautiful together! Perfect mother/daughter photo :)
This weekend has been low-key, but fun. Dance practice, projects, errands.
My weather = FREEZING!! Brr.
We worked on organizing our garage today and clearing out some clutter to donate. It was pretty warm here today too. Gorgeous!
Leftovers definitely save lives. Lunch: leftover homemade pizza. Dinner: leftover veggie stir fry with rice and quinoa.
Fun today: 4 mile walk with friends, then off to pick up my wine from my wine club (and do a little tasting), lunch, a little ice cream. Then I took my son to the park. Now I’m home, having a little Malbec, and thinking about starting dinner.
Weather also perfect here in the 70’s, we hung our landry out to dry.
Hey gorgeous – we had some nice weather here finally (50’s and sunny) but nothing like your temps! So happy you’re having nice weather. No V-day plans for us. I will maybe try to make a nice dinner tomorrow, but no gifts or going out for us.
gorgeous photos!!
leftovers saves lives= fact. haha
