Weekend Recap (including PB replenishment)

Monday!! Can I have a confession moment right now? I like Mondays. I like weekends, but I think the weekends wouldn't be enjoyable without Mondays, so why hate on Monday? It brings us back to life, work, school, and home! 

This weekend was kind of low-key, which was great since I was battling a head-sinus issue all weekend. I felt like I was under water, with my ears popped and everything. Awful.

But you know what else is awful? 
THIS! The end of the peanut butter jar! But, do not fear, peanut butter has been replenished! :)

Saturday, still feeling a little crumby, we went on a run (6 miles) and it made me feel better! I could breathe normal the entire time. 
Are those matching workout pants not the cutest?! They are from Target! (What DOESN'T Target have?! Geesh!)
When we got back, Sophia wanted to show us her running skills, so we did some sprint work up and down the neighborhood. 
Go girl go!

Play time continued outside until we had to get ready for the Fish Fry at a friend's house. We ate lots of shrimp and fish! I could barely hear people the entire party, with my ears feeling like they needed to be popped, so we didn't stay too long. 

Sunday morning I made the Fitnessista's 2 minute Double Chocolate Protein Muffin. These are always a win in my book. Quick, easy, and so delicious! If you haven't tried one, it's a must do!

The rest of our Sunday was spent running errands, siging up for the Gasparilla 8K and Half-marathon!, and having friends over to watch football and eat chicken wings.

I hope your weekend was wonderful & restful! Back to the grind!

What did you do this weekend?
What are you favorite quick breakfast options?

XOXO

Mondays in 2015 kinda look the same

Hey Hey! It's the first Monday of 2015 and it is an absolute wreck! So, just a normal Monday, huh? :)

Sophia is out of school today (her school starts back up tomorrow...hallelujah!) so with no reason to wake up, I rolled out of bed around 8 am, obviously milking this no alarm clock thing one more day. 

I make breakfast (2 eggs and a piece of toast), get my coffee, and get settled into my office for a day of productivity. I really need to get through all the accounting and close out 2014!! It's on the to-do list that seems to be 100 items long.
My breakfast...the calm before the Monday storm.

But, oh how plans change so quickly...I get a text at 9 am from our Realtor asking if it was OK for some people to come have a showing of our house at Noon. Our cleaning lady, Nell, comes every Monday and doesn't get done until around 1 so I asked if they could push it until then. They agreed and I went into panic mode. 

I mean, our Christmas stuff was piled up in our laundry room, a bare Christmas tree was still standing in our living room, our dining room looked like WeTheYoung exploded all over it, you could barely see the floor of Sophia's bedroom, there was a laundry basket overflowing in our master, and every single Christmas present was scattered all around the toy room/office. Team work make the dream work...I was decluttering everything while Nell cleaned for the next 4 hours. 

I ran out of the house at 12:55 dragging our Christmas tree behind me to put in my truck, to take back to our office where we have a storage area. I'm pretty sure the people coming to see the house saw me: frazzled hair, baby in arm, toddler running behind me, dragging a Christmas tree, and struggling to put it inside my car. I'm sure that all looked real attractive. So there I am, no shower, glasses still on, yoga pants (because I live in them), baggy shirt, neon green flipflops...and going into public. 

Yep, sounds like a Monday, right? It's been looking up through, after that mad rush to get the house "show ready" it's been pretty easy sailing, well, about as easy sailing it can be with two divas. :) 

I wouldn't trade it for the world...

XOXO
