1. I have taken being pale and lack of eyebrow plucking to a whole nother level. Does anyone else say “nother?” I went to write that and sat here for 10 minutes confused about how to spell nother and then had to finally ask Stu. He informed me that the appropriate term was “whole other level,” but that just does not sound right to me. Am I crazy?? Is this a southern thing?
2. I am still depressed about Nashville being over and seriously cannot wait until the fall. I’m loving Awkward and I pretty much cried throughout the whole RHOC episode this week. In fact pretty much everything this week has made me cry. Monday I wrote my weekend wrap up about how great it was to see my friends and today I am writing about how let down I am feeling by some friends.
3. As if Levi couldn’t have gotten any cuter, we bought him some new hats and well- he got cuter. Also I have talked about it before, but their is just nothing that warms my heart more than seeing my two sweet babies love on each other. Axell is the best big sister in the whole entire world!
* Also, am I crazy or is Levi starting to kind of look like me?? Since he was born I (and pretty much everyone else) have thought that he looked like Stu- but after seeing this picture I think I am starting to see me!!
4. Don’t forget to enter my giveaway for a $25.00 gift card to Vitacost. Seriously they have so many different great products/brands that I know you will love! I did not know this but they even have organic baby foods, pet foods and more awesome health and fitness products than I ever thought!
You have all weekend to enter and I will randomly choose a winner on Monday!
5. I made these the other night using the Chocolate Peanut Butter protein powder I was sent to review and they turned out so good! They are much lighter than the traditional butter-heavy chocolate muffins and are made using greek yogurt and only a few tablespoons of oil! And they could not be any easier to make- you simply add all the ingredients to a bowl, stir and bake!
Double Chocolate Protein Muffins
- 3/4 C. flour
- 1/4 C. chocolate protein powder
- 1/4 C. cocoa powder
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 3/4 C. sugar
- 1/3 C. plain greek yogurt
- 2 Tbs. oil
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1/2 C. chocolate chips (optional)
- Preheat oven to 350
- Combine all ingredients into a large bowl and stir with a spoon until completely mixed.
- Scoop batter into 9 greased muffin cups or use muffin liners.
- Bake for about 17-19 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
Hope that everyone has a wonderful rest of the day and weekend!
