School is cancelled due to snow on the first day of spring. Kids thought it’s fitting to make gingerbread house this morning.;)

Chloe’s getting really good at folding laundry these days. 😉

Kids are so psyched and they have been counting days. They were super happy to see me at pick-up (even though I always did on Tuesdays and Fridays before), but I guess todays special because they know they’ll never have to go to AfterCare again!

We spontaneously decided to go to Blended bowls for some yummy açaí bowls to celebrate my early retirement. 🙂

Now that I’m home I plan to make up for all the play dates they couldn’t do before…

Kids have a winter break this week and I have a fun day planned for us in the city.

Lunch at Jams

Three entrées 

Clean plates :

I had an amazing night hanging out with these beautiful ladies, sharing each of our grace stories over delicious meal. Thank you Susan for having us over!

My friend’s been giving me bliss spa gift cards for my birthdays over the years and realizing that I haven’t used it, she made me take the day off and meet her at the spa. What a treat!

My before & after facial pictures. What a difference. 🙂

Then we headed over to Nobu57 to have lunch. Yum!!! My 5 course lunch bento box:

Thank you so much for making my day so special Renna!! 😉

A card & drawing by Chloe. Love my portrait!

A card & coupon gift by Shane. LOL

This girl…

loves to eat, just like me!

The boys are home, not feeling so well so it was only Chloe and I who went to church this morning. So we had a lovely lunch afterwards just the two of us and went to Barns & Nobles (her favorite place!) and bought many books for her to read. 🙂

Açaí bowl for breakfast

I’ve been cooking a lot this week to make up for last few weeks of eating poorly. I need to beef up my kids! The last two weeks, our schedules have been so crazy, I did a lot of ordering food and buying prepared food on the go in-between kids activities. 

This weeks specials including: Korean Short Rib

Truffle butter pasta

French Toast

Butternut squash salad

We also hosted last min, pot luck to get together with friends.

Tried making French onion burgers for the first time and it was pretty good!
