Target FINDS!! (Addiction)

Good Morning everyone. I am so glad to be back and blogging. I am working still, and preparing for Averie to go to Kindergarten. I have so many things to post about that. From her new backpack and lunch box, to how I am going to pack her lunches. OH man this is going to be fun, and scary. I don't know what I am going to do when the first day of school comes.

Today is all about my addition to Target. Is there rehab for people addicted to Target?

What is worse is that there is TARGET right down the street from my work. Can you spell TROUBLE!?

Well here are my finds for today. It is food inspired. Just like they say, "Don't go to the Grocery Store hungry." Yeah it goes for Target too.






  • Sargento Balanced Snacks - This one is a little pricey, but hits the spot when you need a midday snack. 



  • Hillshirre Hot Calabrese Salame - When you don't feel like a big lunch. These are perfect. This is actually my lunch for today. 



  • POM Super tea Pomegranate Lemonade tea - I love all the antioxidants in this, and it quenches my thirst. I am a huge Tea/lemonade fan and this one is top on my list. 



  • OH SNAP Dilly Bites - Well this is a great find. Props to the OH SNAP Pickling Company. This is a great idea and so delicious. I am going to stock up on these during our next road trip. 


I am so stoked about all my finds. When can I go back? I think I have a problem. *smiles*

Well until tomorrow. See you guys later.

Having a little trouble

It has been a while, but that was not done on purpose.


I decided recently that I was going to delete a couple of my email accounts. Who needs 4 email accounts. I was not able to keep up with all 4, so I decided it was time to purge a couple of them. Well in doing that, I accidently deleted the one linked to my blog.


Not good, not good at all. I was able to after many months to fix it. Yay! I am back.


I am not going to update, cause that would just take entirely too long. I am going to tell you all what is going on currently. Lot's of exciting things are happening.


First off. Averie is starting Kindergarten in less than a month. I have already bought her a new backpack, and am on the lookout for more cool stuff! I love shopping for that booger. Here is the backpack. It is a 3 piece set. The bag, a lunch pail, and a container for food. Cute right.


I cannot believe she is going to be in kindergarten. That is going to be one tough day for me, I might need a cuddle.



Second, we have been taking little trips this summer. We were always so consumed in softball in the past, that we are finally able to live our lives for ourselves. Not to mention we are making memories people. Here are a couple pictures from our trip to Morro Bay. We had such a good time.








Averie had a good time too. This was my sweet pea at dinner on the way home. She slept through the whole meal.


Next up, this weekend we are headed off to Clovis to visit my Aunt and Uncle. Averie went on a boat for the first time ever this summer, and loved it! My Aunt and Uncle have a boat and we are going to spend the day just hanging out and wakeboarding. I love family time. They are such good people too.


Lastly, Brian and I have been hosting FAMILY DINNERS twice a month. This is near and dear to my heart cause family is so important. Talk about the one group of people, where no matter what happens they are there for you. I am very appreciative for mine and so we celebrate twice a month. I love it and look forward to seeing them.


What makes these dinners even better, the patio set Brian bought me for my birthday. Only good times take place here.




Well I am going to sign off, but I hope that everyone has a great Wednesday and I am so excited that the account situation is fixed and I can keep on blogging.

Things I am loving Friday #4

I can't believe that the post I was looking forward to most I forgot about! I guess this is what I get for not setting a reminder for myself! Well I am not going to hesitate. Things I am Loving Friday #4 coming at cha! 

These are from Trader Joes and they are addicting. Don't say you weren't warned. Dark chocolate covered Powerberries. 

This magazine is probably my favorite. I have taken so many recipes from them and so far they are all delicious. 

Well this one is kind of considering cheating but I am in love with it, so it must go on this post. This was my Mother's Day present from the hubs. He is so sweet! 

Last but not least. The secret to all women in my family having great skin. I buy the one with an spf, but if your not out in the sun a lot like me then the regular one will work just fine. It doesn't hurt to add a little sun protection to your face cream anyways.

Let's do a purge

Well clearly things have not slowed down enough for me to blog. So this is a purge post to get back up to speed and ready for "Things I am Loving Friday #4" that I will post tomorrow.


So there has been a lot of food, fun, and lovin.


So it all started when Brian and I went to Brodericks Midtown for some much needed adult time. Also know as drinks and dinner. We have been go, go, go for weeks. This was our time to slow it down.



Then there was my day to day. Clearly depicted in this photo. This is a constant. It's lucky that I love cleaning. Lucky for Averie!


Next up is Dinner at the parents house on Sunday. It was my Grandpa's birthday and we had a great spread of food and wine. Thanks to my Mama.


This kid is too cute in her crocs.





After Sunday was Monday. That is usually how it goes right. Back into the work week. I mixed in some Nitro Coffee at Chocolate Fish on Monday, some watermelon beer for my very first play date on Tuesday. Yep you read that correctly. My first play date. Averie has had many, but none that I have taken her to.



Then a Non-fat vanilla latte at Chocolate Fish on Thursday. I took a friend to pick up her car after work, so she treated to yummy coffee in the morning. I love days where her and I can hang out. 


Then dinner and a bottle, I mean glass of wine. Just a glass. Clearly we were all pooped that night. Averie passed out with her legs propped up on Daddy. 



Next on the list. Friday, man last week flew by. Taking the car in to get serviced. Which is normally not an event, but there was this dreamy machine there. I will take my car in every time if they continue with this kind of service.


Then back to the school to pick up the bug and grab some lunch. 


Then some shopping, stocking, hanging the new screen, another glass of wine, and prepping dinner with this fun find from Trader Joe's. I love that place. This garlic and olive oil flatbread was so good. We topped it with sauce cheese and pepperoni and it was a perfect Friday night dinner. 






Then on Saturday it was Anessa's 20th birthday. We took her out to breakfast, cause that was the only time she could fit us in and we went to Paradise to go Skiing on Grammy's new boat. It was so much fun!!! I think I am going to sell my brand new snowboard and buy a wakeboard I think it will get much more use. That evening Brian and I grilled up some dinner and I worked a little in bed.




Can you believe that was April 25th-30th in a nutshell. I mean where does the time go. This post is long enough so I will spare you all of the eating I have done this week. It has been insane. I have to stop. I am very much looking forward to tomorrow's post. I have so many things I love. Mostly people not things, but I have tried out some new things in the past week that I think are great, and that you all will love.

Well back to work, see you all tomorrow.

ahhh Monday

Good Morning everyone. After a very long eventful weekend. I am back at work and feeling pretty good. I think I have finally kicked this persistent cold. I am feeling healthier, and more organized(ish). Best I have felt in a while. Still working on the mental stuff, but I will get there in time.


Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with my little girl were the best. I love when we have 3 days together and have nothing planned during the day.


Friday, I took her to school. Which gave me just enough time to get a bunch of stuff done at the house. I started the laundry, cleaned the inside of my car, and straightened up the house. You know straightened it just enough so that Averie can destroy it again. I picked her up and we made a Target run. Have I mentioned that I love that place. We bought a Naked juice, and some salami and cheese and headed to the park. We played for an hour! It was so much fun. Brian and I had pizza and beer for dinner. Best dinner combo EVER! I look forward to my Friday's. I think I can say they are my favorite.





Saturday we went to dinner a the 524 Club with Brian's Aunt Gloria and Uncle Steve. First I had coffee, and did more cleaning.



Dinner at the 524 Club. It was a great visit. We do this once a year with my Father in Laws side of the family. It is always fun. Especially now that all the kids are getting older.






Then there was Sunday. I don't even think I need to say much. I can show you.








Coffee, Car washing, gardening, and running through sprinklers. Fun, Fun, and more Fun.

We went out later to celebrate Brian's nieces 18th birthday. I put Averie in a pair of roller skates, but I think she is still al little young for it still.

That brings us to Monday, and this weather! I had to dress accordingly. I am in no way prepared for this kind of weather. My psyche or wardrobe. 


I have so many things on my list for the week. I need to go to Traders, buy Averie some sandals and summer clothes, get a gift card for a birthday at the end of the month. Blog about my meal plan for the week, and getting back into my workout routine. I miss running.

Lots to do. I guess I will get started working and prep everything that I need for the week.
