Pep Talked

Loving this video. I showed it to my classes, and they kind of loved it too.

Random Photo Wednesday

Last night we celebrated an early Valentine's Day! We splurged on prime steaks from Whole Foods, lobster tails, broiled asparagus, and a chocolate bundt cake. Pretty much amazing.

Project Life 2013, Week 6

Switching it up on the style this week. It was perfect for the smaller (phone) and more vertical photos I had to use.

And together with week 5. It kind of bothers me that I have the same shoes represented twice on these pages...but when I wear them, it rains. And it's been a rainy/overcast week or two. So I guess it fits.

Supplies: digital Seafoam Project life, Designer Digitals brushes (hearts + February)

Menu Planning Monday

Aww.

Last week, we ate hamburgers for dinner almost every night. None of them were eaten from our Super Bowl shindig. I mean, not that I can blame anyone--we had ribs! As a result, this week is using up the proteins purchased for those meals.

monday :: bbq meatballs (pioneer woman)

tuesday :: grilling steaks for early Valentine's day

wednesday :: leftovers, plus I'm making jalapeño dip for small group

thursday :: beef and broccoli

friday :: pasta

saturday :: I think I'm going to try to make salted caramel chocolate cupcakes for my dad's birthday. We shall see.

I need some new healthy recipes! Any good ones out there?

This and that.

Last week was the slowest, most awful week ever. This week, it zoomed by, and I almost loved every minute. I am about to say something cheesy...I am so, so grateful for my many blessings.

This video is going around and it definitely resonated with me:



It was also pretty timely because I got to show it to my students since we are in the middle of a project where they are creating a PSA.

Project Life 2013, Week 5

Another one pager. I didn't really feel like going back and writing much about the week because it was long and annoying. Thus the "I'm over it" from daily dishonesty (so funny). My goal next week is more journaling and words!

Menu Planning Monday

After grilling ribs and burgers for the Super Bowl, I wanted a week of low-cost dinners to make up for our large grocery bill! We only had to buy the proteins and a bottle of soy sauce because we had run out. Pretty good, I'd say.

monday :: ravioli with alfredo sauce and grilled chicken
tuesday :: pioneer woman's bbq meatballs with wild rice
wednesday :: leftovers before small group
thursday :: pioneer woman's beef with snow peas (substituting broccoli)
friday :: pasta for Tyson/leftovers for me

Tyson's thinking about going to the ranch this weekend, so I'll probably be eating baked potatoes or quesadillas or other meatless items while he's gone. I am super low-key when he isn't here emphasizing the importance of protein.
