Tuesday’s Tidings for March 26, 2013

1. You guys have seen this right? Every time I come across this online I bust out laughing because it is so true.

2. Last night, Josh made this Skinny Reese’s Cup Milkshake and it was amazing! Only 200 calories per serving and totally satisfies any chocolate/peanut butter craving you might have. I think this might be a new go-to dessert in this house.
3. Yesterday afternoon, the girls and I did an Easter craft. I saw this on Pinterest and thought how perfect it would be for the girls to do. It was really easy and a lot of fun. I had everything traced out for them so all they had to was cut and paste. Obviously, I helped Eden because she’s tiny. LOL!
4. I finally got to paint my nails and toes last week. It had been too long. Of course the nail polish on my nails is starting to chip and it leaves me wondering how long I’m going to endure that before I have time to repaint them. Please tell me other moms with young kids have this problem, too.
5. Only 12 days till the premiere of Mad Men season 6! I cannot wait!
6. So, I’m totally in Spring Cleaning mode. Yesterday, I went outside and cleaned our little white picket fence that goes around our front door area ( it was diiirrty) and I’ve been cleaning and trying to rearrange a few things in the house. Here is the problem I have. I’m tired of my throw pillows, blankets, curtains, and look of my living room. I love the furniture setup, but it’s the decorating aspect I’m having trouble with. I feel like it’s all a little dark and I haven’t updated any of this in years and I’m just bored and tired of it. But I’m not really sure what I want to do about it. Or where I would go with a designing scheme without changing everything, which I can’t do because money doesn’t grow on trees. I’m thinking I need to start with something small and take it from there. I need to go to TJ Maxx!
7. Christian hates tummy time. I can get him to lay there for maybe 10 minutes…if I’m lucky and then he is mad, like furious, and yelling at me. 
8. We watched The Hobbit last week. I actually liked it. But now I think I need to watch it again, because I was confused and we watched it in two sittings. 
9. Christian’s teething seems to be better…or at least it hasn’t been as bad the last day and a half. I’m knocking on wood that the whole teething thing is on Spring Break as well, but seeing as though, those toothers haven’t broke through yet, I’m not holding my breath. 
10. We ate some fresh steelhead last night (which is part of the trout family) and we just did a simple pan sear of it. Let me tell you, just a little bit of salt and pepper with a squeeze of fresh lime juice, made it drool worthy! I was impressed by how good it was with simple (and cheap) ingredients.
