Post Holiday Blues?

Normally I feel a giant dose of the post-holiday blues but I have to admit I feel a little relieved to be back to regular programming. :)

We finally got the entertainment center put together and it looks fantastic! I love putting together our little space slowly but surely!






 Don't worry, our Christmas tree is down now! Putting away all of our Christmas things is a little bit depressing but it's nice to have all of the normal space.  My goal is to do a blog house tour eventually. Just have a little bit more to do before I share.

On Saturday we took advantage of Bank Of America card discount weekend at the Perot Museum. If you have a BOA card, the regular exhibits are free on the first weekend of every month. We still paid to see the Animals: Inside Out exhibit, but overall it was a significant discount. If you have yet to check out the animals exhibit, I really recommend it. Super cool!





  This past weekend was smashing success with getting our house back together and back on our regular post-holidays schedule. At least it was a smashing success right up until I put too much food in to the disposal and clogged up the pipes. We tried all Sunday night to get it fixed to no avail. $300 and a plumber later...We're back up and running! My first major house fail... Whoops!

I have a lighter week at work this week and I am so grateful! It's nice to get back on track and feel a little more balanced.  For me this means:

 1) meal planning ----> Having the energy to make real meals
2) Getting back to my gym routine ----> Kyle has joined me at home when I can't make it to the gym and I am so happy for the company!
3) Quality time with my handsome husband ----> We've been having at least one night where we do something at home together without the computer/phones/etc. Love it!
4) Reading---> Book reviews coming soon!

 Meal Plan This Week:

  • Buffalo Chili- Buffalo is leaner than beef and tastes delicious! We make our chili from scratch.
  • Baked Salmon with Pineapple Salsa
  •  Skinny Taco Casserole with chicken
  • "Spaghetti" with spaghetti squash instead of noodles. I LOVE spaghetti squash.
  • One dig night... which almost always means breakfast for dinner for me!
