Hi friends! Happy Monday! I’m hoping to have a productive and positive week. What about you?!
We had an awesome weekend filled with lots of quality family time.
Friday, I ventured to my first high school football game since leaving high school many moons ago. My youngest sister is now a varsity cheerleader herself, so it was fun to see her cheer on her team as I once did.
Saturday morning started with a long walk with my parents and then we ventured up to Dustin’s parents house to spend the day outside grilling, celebrating both Dustin’s and my sis-in-law’s birthdays, sipping sangria and watching a little bit of football!
White wine, lemon lime soda water, strawberries, Granny Smith apples, and raspberries.
Sunday was a lazy day. We started the day with strawberry pancakes and homemade vegan lattes, followed by car washing, a little reading, a long evening walk and black bean chili and “fries” to finish the night off.
Anyone else do Greek yogurt on their pancakes? And yes, that is a Boxer coffee mug; I’m turning into the crazy Boxer lady soon enough!
Today has been a little bit slow but I’m excited and thankful for a great week ahead. To kick things off I want to share this banana split recipe to help your Monday be awesome too! This recipe is extremely easy and one your family is sure to love!
