Weekly Meal Plan 3/19 - 3/25

Hi friends!

Long time no see.

Sorry about that. I had a few things that needed attending to and it took a lot of my energy. It is nothing bad (actually really good!), but I can't share yet but will in the near future (no we are not having another baby).

Speaking of babies. My baby is 1 on April 2nd. How in the world did that happen. I feel like he was just born and we just left the hospital. Time went by way too fast with this little man and I know I will be a mess when he turns 1.  

These two melt my heart.

This past Saturday, Ron and I had a date night at home. We grilled steaks and watched Hacksaw Ridge. Have you seen it yet? If you like history/WWII movies like we do you will enjoy it!

In other exciting news we are going to Disney soon! Our bands arrived and I am so excited. Mine is the yellow band ripped out of the case because I NEEDED to try it on right away. I think my sister and I are more excited for the trip than the children. I really want a Dole Whip...and a Mickey Waffle. And to go on the Haunted Mansion ride. 

While I am excited for our trip I am also preparing for the all out madness of over sugared and under-rested children. Maybe I can get some rum in my Dole Whip.....

I find myself getting upset days as I watch my county change under this President. Ron and I refuse to turn a blind eye because it is so upsetting. Such behavior is not our nature, but it has made us more aware of our own actions.  I believe that racism and ableism gain ground when we become complacent and believe that we are not part of the problem. The truth is we are all part of the problem and recognition of our own bias can allow for change. I have found that this can be a personal challenge, but Ron and I continue to try be more aware of our actions and voices.  I feel like the most impctful thing I can do is be aware, be informed, and speak out.  

This week I am doing a few Pure Barre classes (I am still so in love), playing volleyball, Kellen's school conferences, going to Beauty and the Beast with Kellen, and getting ready for my friend Emily's Belly to Baby Expo!

Do you have any fun plans??
