We woke up to snow on Saturday morning.
I suppose if its going to be cold, I'd like it to be accompanied by snow.
We all bundled up and went out to play for a bit then Emerson and I headed in to fix a warm breakfast.
Keeping my loves fed makes my heart happy.
Especially when it involves warm cinnamon rolls.
After breakfast, Easton & I headed out to play while daddy & Emerson stayed inside.
We make a good team.
Saturday afternoon was a day devoted to mom. I lucked out.
After our snow play, Lance said we were going to eat Mexican, then going to some antique stores, then going to find me some clothes.
Chips & Salsa, old rusted junk- that's my love language.
And we did just that.
Naps were skipped. Babies fed in the back seat of the truck. Snacks from the gas station. Together.
Sunday was a home day.
Breakfast of french toast for me, eggs in a basket for daddy & toaster strudels for Easton.
I made a batch of Zucchini Muffins, this time adding in an apple in place of carrots.
I substituted with whole wheat flour and coconut oil this time.
Are y'all aware of the benefits of coconut oil?
It is loaded with health benefits!
The most important for me, being medium chain fats- the fats that Emerson CAN process.
So I use coconut oil in everything now.
Even if you apply it on your skin, it soaks in to your blood stream.
It's good stuff.
But make sure you get the fresh pressed virgin.
I did a little meal planning with what we had on hand for suppers this week and made my grocery list.
The girls headed to the grocery, while the boys headed out to the lake to clean up the duck blind.
Easton loves to be included with the big boys. If they suggested picking up trash, he'd be all in.
He worked so hard with daddy & Uncle Matt, he fell asleep on the boat on the way back to the ramp.
Sunday was capped off with taco's for dinner (mexican again!!) and a few episodes of LOST on Netflix.
Another wonderful weekend with my little family.
Did you have a good weekend?
Have anything fun planned this week?
It's Valentine's, followed by Lance's birthday so I'm sure I'll be making some sweet treats.
Happy Monday!
I will have to check out the coconut oil. I have a recipe for a grain free cake that involves coconut oil. Glad you like it and your sweet girl can eat it. We have limitations on food as well with our girl (she's allergic to all grains). Makes cooking and eating interesting now:) Your son is your mini. Cannot wait to see if your precious girl is another little mini as well! Weekends are the best and they go by too fast!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to clean up our family's eating habits so I was supposed to get coconut oil this weekend...and then I got sick and didn't do any grocery shopping! Hoping to pick it up today on lunch. Your weekend sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried coconut milk? Found in a can in the Asian section. It's really good for you with the same fats. We love it in smoothies! If you try it shake the can really really good so the fat mixes in real good.
