Five on Friday

1. Dan and I finished working out, and Dan grabs out the nutra ninja. This is the guy who never cooks, unless the grill is involved. If it even involves stirring, he usually declares it too much effort and moves on. 

K: Are you making a smoothie?
D: Yeah, you want one?
K: Yeah kinda. I don't know. What kind are you making? Are you adding a ton of protein to it?
Dan shoves a fistfull of cookies in the blender and grabs out the ice cream.
D: Wasn't planning to...

First of all, Dan. There's a difference between a smoothie and a milkshake. Secondly, immediately after working out??

Third, make me one after dinner tonight.




2. Olivia says "mo mo" for more, and I had her chanting "mo mo snow" on Monday night - it was the cutest thing ever. I think snow days are more fun with little ones.




3. I have this delicious chicken recipe where you mix maple syrup and mustard (I'll share it at some point) - and had Olivia help me measure and mix the two. "Help" aka pretend she's helping and hope she doesn't sling all of it across the kitchen. Then, the other day I was cooking and to keep her occupied I got out the measuring cups and gave them to her to play with. She got out the 1/4 cup, walked to the pantry and got out the maple syrup, pretend poured it into the cup, grabbed the 1/2 cup and starting banging on the fridge door for the mustard. It amazes me how much her little brain can absorb right now. She doesn't say much, which I think makes us underestimate how much she knows. 



4. Olivia went through the Hanna Andersson catalogue during her snack picking out the outfits she wants. I want them all too, Olivia.


5. Clearly none of these pictures are from today. Today it's cold as .. well ... I have no appropriate words. But cold. I live in Charlotte - I didn't sign up for this! Olivia is going stir crazy and we can't wait until we can get outside again. 

Dan wants credit for this outfit The only outfit he has picked out that works. He wants to shout it from the rooftops. You did okay, dude. Don't get too confident. I've seen your work.

Until we can get outside, no more mamarazzi.

  2. Oh Kelley Olivia is just precious!!! I love your 5!! So funny about your husband shoving cookies in the blender. Sounds like something my husband would do (minus the working out part)!
    I hope you have a great weekend! I'm really enjoying your posts.

    1. Thank you! So funny - we're on a kick recently on working out, but it's still early in the year.

  3. Olivia has the best shoes! I love her tiny little wardrobe - polka-dot jeans, moccasins and killer accessories. She sounds like a great little helper in the kitchen and isn't it a little bit frightening how much they are learning every day!?!? I love that she was trying to replicate your recipe days later. Hope you have a great weekend!!

    1. Her polka dot jeans were a new purchase and I'm obsessed. I love that they go with so much. It's so crazy how much they learn. Hope you had a great weekend!

  4. I love your five on Fridays! I might have to borrow this idea. Most of the time I don't post because my thoughts aren't related to one another lol

    If only there were such things as health cookie smoothies lol I'd be on board with that! I've been dreaming of spring. Counting down the days lol

    1. Most of my ideas are just a few sentences - or I have pictures that do not go together in one post, so the 'five on friday' is a great way of resolving both. Technically you could put some protein powder in your cookie 'smoothie' haha.

  6. Olivia wears the cutest outfits-those shoes are too freaking cute. I'm with Olivia "mo mo snow". Well for us we just want to see some snow. One of the great things about having a child is you get to experience life again and the amazement of the simple things. It's like you forget how awesome the little things are (like jumping on the bed) until you have a little one and get to see the excitement through their eyes.

    1. We want mo mo snow. The ice wasn't that much fun. I agree. Everything is so much more amazing through their eyes!
