Monday's Musings

Happy Monday. How was everyone's weekend? Friday night Matt took Sterling to the Monster Truck show with a few other dads and Sterling's friends.  It went pretty well til Matt said a fire breathing mechanical dragon came out and Sterling freaked out and started crying.  Maybe a touch too young for the Monster Truck show this year:)

Meanwhile Frances and I had a nice ladies night in.  We watched a Lifetime movie that was actually really good and enjoyed a cheese plate for dinner.  Not gonna lie it was nice to have the house to myself!


This weekend I tried out a new healthy breakfast.  A quinoa yogurt bowl.  Basically all I did was smash some blackberries in regular plain Greek Yogurt.  Then I topped it with cooked quinoa, slivered almonds, sunflower seeds, fresh blackberries, mint and a drizzle of honey.  It was really filling and delicious.


We made our Braised Beef Tacos  (recipe here) for our company Saturday night and they amazing again.  I used the leftover beef the next day to make a Braised Beef Quinoa bowl.


My sister gave us the most awesome gift basket from Burts Bees Baby.  It came with bibs, onesies, pjs, a blanket,  and a hat.  I have to say I am obsessed with everything in it.  The onesies and pjs are my favorite, they are so soft and I love the pattern.  This would make such a great shower gift for someone.

This is Frances in the onesie and the pjs  You can order a three pack of the onesies Here.  I am definitely ordering more they are my favorite!



I love Monday nights now that the Bachelor has started back up, it is my guilty pleasure.  I have to admit I was not thrilled when they picked Juan Pablo as the new bachelor but he grew on me a little last week.  But lets be real I watch it more for the crazy ladies than him.  I heard this season had the highest rating yet, so I guess Juan has some fans.


I ran out of eyeliner and was at Target the other day and decided to buy a cheap kind just to tide me over til I could buy my more expensive kind.  I picked out this Sonia Kashuk twist up eyeliner and actually I really like it.  Worth the money for $7.  Not sold online so look for it for in your store.  Has anyone else every used any Sonia Kashuk beauty products?  I am tempted to try her eyeshadows.


 This weekend Sterling said to me " I wish God would make Rufus real."  I love his sweet soul.  Rufus goes everywhere with us and gets an outfit change each morning from Frances's closet.  Rufus is one well dressed monster.



Have a great start to your week!
