Korean Beef

This is a super simple meal from Six Sisters.  It was easy to fix and everyone in my family wanted seconds! 

Christmas with Cats

Here starts trouble. We got the tree up last week. Of course the girls had to check it out. 

They both climbed to the top. I think they were proud of themselves. Scully has been batting at the ornaments but hasn’t broken anything. 

Caturday: Sunshine Edition

Geez. I stink at regular blogging. Let’s see what was in the camera roll this week. 

Caturday

The spaz girls were screwing around on the chair. It was quite entertaining. 

Everyone loves to cuddle with Lucy.

Monday Musing

Last week my cup was draining fast. By Friday, it was completely empty. I was over work, life, Covid. But

I got the opportunity to chill this weekend and fill my cup back up. No major commitments. I read a book, started another one. Started watching a new show with Jeff which is funny. I slept in until 10 Sunday! I never do that.  It was nice to unplug and recharge. 

Caturday 11/14

Scully had a BIG day today!! She got to go to grandma and grandpas for a couple hours. She had so much fun!!! She played string, checked out all the nooks and crannies, and got tons of treats.  

Metal Monday: Good Life Halfsy

It’s Metal Monday!!! I haven’t had one of these...all year! So we traveled to Lincoln and ran a half Mary. It was lots of fun and I loved the course. The day was cold and it took two miles for my feet to unthaw. There was a hill at the end of the race-I almost died! 😂

2:50:18. I’ll take it! 

Caturday 11/7/2020

So much love going on in our home 🥰🥰

It Is Not Over

This. 

COVID IS REAL. It is not going away Nov 4. And with winter brings all other illnesses. I’m tired of wearing a mask. I’m tired of washing my hands 50 million times a day. I am tired of not being able to relax out of my home. But this is life. And every day I suck it up and do what is right. I just wish everyone else did too. 

Time To Cook! Let’s talk about Snacks

I’ve been working on my nutrition lately. Snacks are fun because you can pick one big thing or lots of little things. Here are my favs:

Protein: eggs, deli meat, protein shakes, cottage cheese

Carbs: raw veggies or fruit, roasted veggies 

Fat: nuts, olives, hummus 

If I want an “all in one” I may eat protein balls or a built bar. I try not to eat those every day. 

Winter Weather Already?

Yucky yuck. Not a fun way to start the week.  And they had school! It made for a light work day! 

Caturday: Halloween House Edition

Grandma bought the girls a new house. They haven’t had one since Christmas and they are THRILLED! 

They started off nicely taking turns on the top bunk

But then they got into a fight about it. AJ wanted to take a turn but Scully wasn’t ready. 

And then someone got hungry. Not sure which one did this:

Oh well! They love it and that’s all that matters. 

Fitness Friday!

So I’m almost to taper. I’m ready for my half and ready to restart some cross training goals. 

Sat: ran 12 miles. It was windy and hard and almost got hit. But the last longest run is done! 

Monday: nice walk. I was sore! 

Wednesday: 

We had a fun speed work. 1 mile warm up, 8 x 100 m and cool down. 

That’s it!

Thirsty Thursday

Want a quick meal?? Go to Target and buy this...

And add a package of shrimp. Dinner is done in 15 minutes! Best part was Lauryn ate two servings. You know it’s good then!

Back on the Wagon

I haven’t been on here for awhile but I’m trying to get back in the habit of blogging. 

Today is Wednesday so what’s up with us? Well Lauryn and Jeff are almost done with first semester (which is weird to think that way). She’s been on remote and while she may not love it, she’s doing really well. She’s got a good system going on. Work has picked up and is normal for me which is nice. 

Okay, that’s it for tonight. 

Caturday 10/3/2020

It’s that day already!!! This week has been a doozy. I’m going to work harder at my intention of blogging regularly. 

I also realized I haven’t even taken any pictures of the girls this week! 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Caturday: 9/26/2020

I don’t have much this week. I’m not sure why. It went super fast.  I will call this a win that Scully and Lucy are sleeping together on the same blankie! 

Reflection on Justice Ginsburg’s Death

I was heartbroken Friday night when I discovered that RBG passed away. Although not unexpected, I was really praying she would survive through the election. 

Justice Ginsburg was a warrior. She fought for equality for all people, women, LGBTQ and minorities. We should all give thanks to her hard work and life long dedication to our country. She is a true patriot. 

I’m glad she is at peace. I pray our government will postpone confirming a new justice until after the election, no matter who wins. That would be what is right. 

I leave with these words:

Caturday: the escape edition

See this cute cat? Well, she has a naughty streak. 

And she throws fits when she doesn’t get to go outside. 

Yesterday was gorgeous. We sat out on the patio and sipped on sodas while chatting about our days. The girls were having a great time. Scully jumped up on the trampoline and then AJ did the same. But then AJ jumped and walked the top of the fence and DROPPED DOWN INTO THE NEIGHBOR’S YARD!!! 

So while supper is cooking (macaroni boiling) I have to walk out of our court to the next one and ring their doorbell to ask to go in their yard. She was so happy to    prance around someone else yard. She tried to climb back over when she saw me and was successful until I swiped her back because I was NOT chasing her again. 

She does not look sorry at all. 

This Week’s Book: Don’t Lick the Minivan

Audible now has a bunch of free books and so I was perusing the selections and ran across this gem. The reviews were everywhere but I thought it might be fun. 

I haven’t laughed this hard while listening to an audiobook for awhile. It is a family with twins. The story teller (and her voice which is dropped with sarcasm) makes all the stories that her twins do laughable. Stories of Thailand, adventures in Canada and day to day life make this a fast read.  Enjoy! 

Monday Musing week 38

Today L came to work to do her remote schooling. She needed a change up. We had fun and she worked hard. 

Caturday 9/12/2020

This morning I had a lap full!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Scully rarely lays on my lap. It was so nice. Although she was hot! 

She’s so sweet!
