joie de vivre: joy of living via iphone

a few things last week: my new kitchen/coffee cart i got at a thrift shop near my home for $45. perfect condition. i am in love with it! // they say you dream even when you don't remember them... well, i definitely remembered that one! // elijah's lunch plate. heart PB sandwich (no jelly! we don't really do jelly very often), heart cheddar cheese, carrots and black olives, blackberries and blueberries, and plain yogurt with agave on top for dipping the fruit. // princess gracie // muh new hairs! cut and highlights. my hair was down to my booty and i chopped it all off. it feels so much better! // true blood cookbook. this book is amazing! it has a TON of recipes. AND, i see there is a second book coming out in june. pre-order now! // i love him, and he works hard! he deserves to sit up all night and play call of duty black ops 2... even if it bores me to death. // fresh juice // chai tea with a splash of torani caramel. I LOVE THIS STUFF! // dropping the mister off for drill weekend. night vision drivers training this weekend! // smoothie for one... me! // missing the hubs and watching brother bear with my littles. // i started weight watchers, A-gain... and this is the best smoothie i have ever made. // ended the weekend with my new favorite show GIRLS. woo hoo!

what did you do last week?

• i'm only human, so sometimes my house does look like this. sometimes way more than i would like. 

• i finally got to spend a day with gabriel. he is such a good baby!

•  watching full throttle saloon with jason. we like it!

•  elijah is pretty serious about his chocolate milk. 

• smoothie just for me. greek yogurt, mango, berries, banana, and almond milk.

• last friday, it actually snowed here in NC. it was a pretty pathetic snow, just enough to tease the kids and annoy me. i was only about 3-4 inches, but it quickly turned to rain and left nothing for the next morning. i really was hoping it would snow enough for elijah to go out and enjoy it. the last time it snowed like that, he was only a few months old. 

• when she does stuff like this, mackenzie reminds me of myself at her age. 

• breakfast for dinner: line a muffin tin with bacon, crack an egg in the middle, top with cheese, and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 15-20 minutes. quick and simple, and so good!

• chili for the cold weather. we basically just threw some stuff in a pot and hoped for the best...we got some damn good chili! 

• watching disney's original alice in wonderland. one of my favorite movies as a child. i watched this and cinderella at least 10 times a week for several years. this was the first time any of my children had seen it. phoenix liked it best.

just a few photos from last week: 

1) phoenix decided to make something extra special with her playdough this week. i am so glad that she puts her creative imagination to good use. 2) this is the look elijah gave me right after he lost control of his penis on the potty and peed ALL OVER ME. yep, that's right, all over my chest and nearly in my face. 3) i woke up to elijah laying on the floor beside our bed. 4) watching the opening ceremony of the summer olympics. we tried to watch as a family since this only happens every 4 years. next time they come around, my oldest will be 18. whoa!

it has been so long since i last did a big photo dump from my phone, but i have been filling my posts with some of them so i won't do that now, but i will show you what i've been up to this week. i didn't take many photos with my phone actually because i was taking them with my dslr, but apparently i have an increased love for my food this week...because that's pretty much what i was photographing with my big girl camera also.

however, here are some of the yummy foods i have been sinking my teeth into recently.

watermelon, blueberries, kale chips, thai lime chicken, golden cayenne peppers, tomato and avocado hot dogs

linking up with a good life and life rearranged.
