Leaving my Target run and as I’m loading my things on the belt at the register I start thinking to myself, this is weird, literally every single thing I am purchasing is in a cardboard box. Right about the time I’m thinking this through the cashier looks up at the belt and says, “Wow, everything you’re buying is in a box!” and gives me a funny look…
What can I say, at least I’m consistent in my weirdness. 🤷♀️🤦♀️🤣
Yesterday Wade made fun of me when I invited him to do day 2 of 21 day fix with me. He laughed at my silly workout, but he did it. 1/3 of the way through he got real quiet, 1/2 of the way through he started grunting and moaning, and by the end he was toast. I’m pretty sure he went off to the living room to cry after that. #LegDay 😂
BUT.
He showed up today, and worked out with me again.
After leg day it was hard enough just squatting down enough to make it to the toilet seat without groaning, and now with Upper Fix and the “Bonus Abs” I feel like raw meat. 😂😂😂
Also, I went to Sprouts today and came home with a much better selection of healthier foods and produce, and rid our pantry of most of the items that would cause me to stray off-course.
I CAN do this.
Dinner tonight:
-Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs trimmed of fat, with a citrus poultry spice blend in the air fryer (I ADORE my air fryer!!)
-Brown and Wild Rice Blend
-Avocado
-Banana for a nighttime snack. ❤️❤️❤️
Just updated the Stuff I Love page on the website! Some really fun new things, so be sure to check them out!
What kind of stuff do YOU love?? I love learning about new STUFF so be sure to comment and let me know!!
Been working on getting my shit together lately and so far so good. Next on my list? Another list! I’ve been wanting to put this to paper for a while, but I really need to get my bucket list out of my head and somewhere where I see it more often. Somewhere where it will remind me to plan to actually DO items on that list.
I know I want to visit the last eight US states remaining that I haven’t been to. I want to visit Ireland and Scotland. There’s a lot of other “wants” circling around in there that I just need to finalize. Not all of them are difficult to attain, and as much as I hate the term…. YOLO (you only live once for those of you who are also not millennials) 😉
So you tell me…. what’s on YOUR bucket list? I always love hearing people’s big plans for the path of their lives. Let’s hear yours!!!
We had a weekend “task” sent home from Tatum’s daycare this weekend… to trace her body on a sheet of butcher paper, cut it out, and send it back.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
*wipes tears* no, I’m serious.
She’s FOUR. It took two of us to hold her down to get the outline drawn and even then, THIS is what we ended up with:
Wtf? One impossibly skinny leg, one somewhat normal leg with a cankle, freakishly large hands with fat but crooked fingers, a lumpy waist (not that I can judge on THAT lol), no neck, and what the hell is going on in the shoulder area? Oh, and don’t forget that flat part of her head that looks like her skull has been flattened but is actually me trying to avoid getting permanent marker in her ridiculous mass of hair.
I hope the other kids look as effed up on paper as she does, cause that just ain’t right. (Does that make me a bad person? I mean, I don’t hope the other kids are ACTUALLY effed up, I just don’t want to be the only parent with zero skills… because how the heck do you get a ticklish four year old to lie still for longer than 3.5 seconds???)
This dude got a LONG overdue haircut today, and while it was kind of like wrestling a guinea pig on steroids, we managed to get it done! I didn’t realize how long it had actually gotten until I did the side by side. He looks like a mushroom on the left. 😂
In other “I’m an amazing mom and wife” news, I tried out this Cuban Chicken, Rice, and Black Bean Bowl recipe this evening from Half-baked Harvest. I’d seen a recipe of hers that a friend tried and started following her blog. This one was yummy AND healthy, and everyone (except the kids of course *sigh*) seemed to really enjoy it!
And in planning news, check out this awesome states tracker I got from Caffeine Queens on Etsy! I only have 8 states left to check off my bucket list and I’ll have been to all 50! I think Wade and I should start just planning some long weekend trips and get those crossed off, don’t you?
Tomorrow I have an awesome memory keeping video to share with you… if I can figure out how to rotate it 90 degrees before I post it. 🤦♀️😂
Funny story…
I have a pretty quirky sense of humor. Ever since Tatum was a baby any time I’d see the slightest hint of a “Poop Face” on her I’d yell “not it!” On the illusion that maybe if I did that I wouldn’t actually have to be the one to change said poopie diaper. This would be followed by a chorus of family members calling “NOT IT!” while we all laughingly claimed that whoever said it last got diaper duty! Now it’s a full on family contest any time there’s a hint of poopage to not be “it”.
When Wyatt was born, Tatum started hilariously joining in the fun by screaming “NOT IT” the split-second someone else said it, and so the tradition continued.
Saturday night Wade, Tatum, Wyatt, and I are all seated at a little local fast food Hibachi place we all love (yes, you read that right. FAST… FOOD… HIBACHI! Cheap, genius, delicious.)
I catch a slight glimpse out of the corner of my eye of Baby Wyatt possibly straining a little bit, maybe turning a bit red in the face. I quickly speak up with my “Not it!” at the table followed shortly by Tatum’s bid to not be it. Right after that, clear as day, Baby Wyatt says….. “NOT IT” (Keep in mind Wyatt LOVES to jabber but doesn’t say much that you can tell what it is.) I about fell over laughing. It was seriously about as clear as he could say anything and the first time he’s strung two understandable words together!
This family. Never boring… 😂😂😂
PS- I know this post has nothing to do with tortilla chips as you might have thought from the title. It’s true though, there’s always room.
The results are in and the WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER for the gorgeous #LeatherQuill is @fit_fur_fun !!! Congratulations!!!! DM me to claim your prize!!
Thanks everyone for entering, we’ll have another fun giveaway next week so stick around!
I was going to do an unboxing video of my very first @boho.berry box tonight but I’m currently in the midst of bronchitis and I think I’d sound like an angry frog so I’ll hold off on that until tomorrow!

Today was rather uneventful but I did make myself feel like a badass by taking the kids out of the house BY MYSELF. If you’re a mom of multiples you know how daunting this is. And…… AND….. I took them to lunch too. Granted, it was McAllister’s, and not somewhere more fancy, but NO ONE DIED y’all, and that is YUGE! Even more huge than THAT? The four year old actually ate something. Badass. It’s now my middle name.
I also took them to Home Goods, which almost broke the “No One Died” streak as my daughter kept asking for another “stuffy” to add to her collection of almost seven thousand stuffed animals, but we made it through and actually relatively cheaply considering my love affair with Home Goods….
After Daddy got home we took the kids to Michael’s (the sticker store in four year old vocab) where somehow I got talking into hand-making valentine’s cards for all the little toddler terrorist’s friends. *sigh* SUCH a sucker, especially for crafty things.
Back home to my MOST DREADED CHORE – folding hubby’s undershirts. I HATE folding the whites. It’s better now that he wears dark colored socks and not white ones, but those damn undershirts are ALWAYS inside out, never fold correctly, and I just hate it. Bleh. Go naked. Seriously…..
