Here we go again, Monday

Sunday was nice :) 

We relaxed in the morning, cleaning up a bit. I went to the grocery store (it was insanely busy, what the heck?!) and we made evening plans with our friends Jeff and Leah.

I started a new rib roast recipe I found that involved a ton of veggie (sick of roast that are just carrot and potato--so we mixed it up)! Filled with onion, garlic (of course ), celery, carrots, tomato, and mushrooms. Probably my fave roast recipe as of late--it's a keeper. Thanks Pinterest :)


I also made a new potato recipe (which I'm always looking for. We love potatoes in this house, but I hate how much effort mashed involves and I was ready to change up the other ideas for some new ones). I settled on these oven baked/chicken broth infused ones. They took forever to bake, but when they were done they were pretty good, and I appreciate things I can pop into the oven and carton with life until its ready!


For a veggie I made my usual green bean mix up of stuff and added leftover from breakfast bacon. Yum. Bacon is always a bonus.


For dessert we had warmed up cookies n' cream squares I made the other day with vanilla bean ice cream and whipped cream--Ty is the only one that opted for the healthy option of angel food cake with berries--added whipped cream and ice cream though lol.

Tyler and Jeff are opening a store together, so they got together to go through some inventory, look at the business cards, etc while the girls visited. My sister in law, Dolly came over for a visit too and played with garett :) I love me some quiet nights in with friends! Garett is getting ready to cut a tooth I think so he was pretty fussy anytime a bottle was involved in the evening, but for the most part he was really good!:)

Today is so overcast and cozy. Garett is feeling lazy and I would like to be lay as well lol. The Rogers guy is coming by 10--we are getting rid of our bell satellite-- we lose service everytime it rains, we are paying stupid amounts of money for our channels and PVRs and can only record two shows at once. With rogers, all 3 TVs will have PVRs where the main TV can record 8 show at once, 2 at a time on the other two, its whole home (we can watch any PVR show on any TV, same channels, lower price--deal!!) lol. 

Then I have to go to the store for stuff for dinner and have a busy day of playing ahead as well (shucks!) lol.

Have a happy Monday, everyone! :)

Life Lately

-Hosting Bearbrook Ladies night two weekends ago was wonderful! I put out a full charcuterie spread, made a mint/cranberry/grapefruit drink to share, and all of us received a tarot card reading, palm read and a facial read. Pretty much the reoccurring consensus between all three reads (it was two different people doing it) was that my heart and mind live in a state of conflict, but that it works for me to live in a state of balance. I deal mostly with logic and facts, and less with emotions; they think I would be good as an analyst (weird, since this is pretty well my role at work), and with numbers (which I also do all day at work lol). I'm stubborn and loyal and do not have a mean streak. That I am the same person at home as I am in social settings...blah blah blah. It was interesting! -Last weekend, we went out to Tyler's Disco Inferno show to celebrate our friend Jami and Donna's birthdays. We danced away (one of Keira's ECE's from daycare came out too!) and i...

-Garett went on his first friend play date ever , and he had so much fun. It was his two best friends that left daycare to start school last year. -happy that while Garett was at his play date, Tyler was home with Keira and I went out for a bit alone, then came home and we finished The Belko Experiment movie before I went to get him. (He was there for two hours) -sad that this week, Garett only has four days left at daycare :( Friday is Keira's first day, while I keep g home with me. Can't believe it's already almost school time!! -as a "goodbye" gift from g, we bought his daycare provider a necklace from peoples that is a heart with some Garnet stones in it (Garett's birthstone), to remember him by, and I ordered an Aukey essential oils diffuser , a doTERRA starter kit and an essential oils mixing guide recipe book thing. Hopefully she likes it. -Keira adapted SO well to putting herself down for her nap. She's down to one a day, and I just give...

Friday fun!

Thank God it's Friday, and that this week is O-V-E-R!!! -It was a stressful week at home. Looking forward to a fun weekend! -I am being audited for child care expenses in 2018--I'm not the only one that thinks we pay too much money in child care! LOL...I submitted my receipts online (they are catching up with the times and it's great!) and turns out I actually underclaimed by a few hundred dollars haha. -Tonight is calm, just hanging at home with the kids. -Saturday I have an eyelash appointment at 2:00, and then we have a sitter coming at 6:00 so we can go to a Wine & Cheese night up the road at our friends house. -Sunday is a day of rest until the evening when Shan comes over and we head into town to go to the Trailer Park Boys Christmas at the NAC (I bought Tyler and I tickets as an early Christmas gift). We are sitting pretty close, so I hope we don't get any of their nasty sweat on us lol -Monday I am off since the TPB thing only starts at 8PM, I didn...
