My apologies for all of the crickets chirping around here this week. I have had zero motivation to write a blog post and hardly any to even read any. What is up with that??
Let's see what's been making me happy lately..
{one}
Friends
Last Wednesday I had a pretty crappy day. I got some news that I wasn't expecting (not baby related, but you can probably figure it out), but my sweet friends and husband were there to cheer me up. It was much appreciated and definitely made me feel better.

Sweet Kale Vegetable Salad Kit
I picked this up from Costco for our last supper club get together, and it was a hit! I wanted to make the raw brussel sprout salad, but the thought of slicing that many brussel sprouts made me tired. I remembered my friend Caroline telling me about this salad that had all kinds of chopped kale, brussel sprouts, etc with pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries in it, so off I went to track it down. Costco had a huge bag of it for like $5! I also believe you can find a regular size bag of it at Harris Teeter and Publix. Ingredients include broccoli, brussel sprouts, green cabbage, kale, chicory, cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and poppyseed dressing.

Gardening
No, we still haven't gotten around to filling up our raised garden bed with top soil thanks to life getting in the way, but in the meantime, I planted some things in containers to get the ball rolling. Can't wait to be eating some fresh veggies straight from our backyard!

Our Anniversary Weekend
Like I said, I've been super slack around here this week. Promise a post is coming next week about our anniversary weekend in Hilton Head!

Maxi Dress
I bought this dress from Old Navy a couple of weeks ago and wore it to dinner last Friday. It is so comfortable and very flattering! Go through Ebates to get 2% cashback, then use the code SAVE20 to save 20%!

ReplyDeleteoh no! sorry you had a crappy day- but yay for good friends/family who make it better ;) happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your rough week, I hate anything unexpected. That salad looks amazing, and a great way to get lots of different veggies on the plate.
ReplyDeleteSending you lots of positive thoughts and prayers friend! I hate shredding brussel sprouts and always buy the bag of pre-shredded ones from Trader Joe’s. It saves so much time!

ReplyDeleteSHOOT. I have a feeling I know what #1 is. And, just have faith that it happened for a reason. I've been there though, and I know it sucks. Treat yourself this weekend and just indulge in whatever makes you happy. xo
ReplyDeleteHope the beautiful weekend makes up for the not so great week!
ReplyDeleteI have had a funky week too, you're not alone!! Hope the weekend turns things around (or perhaps next month does if I am guessing correctly) xoxo
