My Fitness Pal. I fought it forever. Then gave in. If you need an easy way to track your food and exercise, it's pretty amazing. (I use the app on my phone.) I don't follow people, or let anyone follow me. But it does for sure keep me on track better than anything that I have ever tried. It also ruins my life when I type in Pork Salad from Cafe Rio. Jerk.
Three more days of school.
Worth mentioning again- three more days of school!!!!!!!!!
Date night tomorrow. Yessssssssssssss.
Cannot handle how these people pull off this song. Skillz and genius. Nor can I handle how many hours they had to stand in such close proximity to each other while perfecting it. Stressing.
THREE MORE DAYS OF SCHOOL.
Pinterest is TORTURE to this no-sugar June. So bad. Like I might need to have a no-Pinterest June to go along with it. Torture. Pretty rude how I posted a dessert in the middle of my torture. I am adding to the problem that I hate. Vicious circle I tell you.
I still have a super simple blueberry monkey bread recipe in the works. But I have to make it to post it, and I don't think that I can make it without eating it.
What are you loving and not so much?
Three more days, yo!
Loving all your loves!!!! Are those the mason jar lights you were telling me about last week?
ReplyDeleteLove the mason jar shop! And my family LOVES that you pinned that dessert becasue I saw it and it will be on our table on Father's Day!
ReplyDeleteat least the viper is incredibly adorable :)
ReplyDeletealso loving everything from Pen & Paint !! I can't wait to order!
I only have boys...but I do make bi-yearly trips to the E.R for brocken bones or stitches (with each), am at all times stocked up on band-aids and peroxide, and have adult acne from the stress....doesnt that make you feel better LOL
ReplyDeletexoxo
YOU. I am loving you! You and your posts just make me happy. Even on a rough day.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Trisha
ps- LemiShine is also making me happy this week. You blogged about it long ago but I finally remembered to pick it up at Target and it is awesome! Awesome I say. Making my 17 year old, grungy glasses & dishes look So much happier :)
PSS- I have boys and girls and my girlies were walking at 9 1/2 months and climbing on EVERYTHING. Not to mention that I HAD to stroller them EVERYWHERE because they would just RUN!
My 6 year old was sitting by me while I was reading your post, and all she had to say was, "who is that cuuuuuuuute baby?!?!?!?" uh oh!
ReplyDeleteLoving that mason jar lamp, for sure!!! And the delicious chocolate milk I'm currently drinking. Oh, and I love your blog.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck with these last three days! I love that Old Navy skirt! Currently I am loving listening to books on tape. With our new addition reading books is almost an impossible feat
ReplyDeletesuper fun stuff. and i so feel your no-sugar pain. finally got the sugarless chocolate smoothie recipe posted. if you love chocolate as much as I do, you must try. must.
ReplyDeleteThat mason jar lamp is gorgeous! I use My Fitness Pal on my phone and I LOVE that I can scan barcodes with it, saves me so much time. I've only been to Cafe Rio once and it was to die for, their salad was one of the best! Hope the next three days fly by!
ReplyDeleteLove anything and everything w/ aqua mason jars! Hate that I can't find one for anything..not cool!
ReplyDeleteMy baby is going to start kindergarten this yr :( I SO feel your pain! And yes its a necessity to baby proof w/ boys! They're naughty ;)

Im thinking you could totally pull off your own DIY version of those mason jar lights. Do it!
ReplyDeleteWhat Im loving? Being off of school with the girls, making summer reading incentives for them and preparing for our trip to Central America.
What Im not loving? That Eric is still in school until the last week of June, that our beloved Pastor passed away yesterday, and that 4 days after we get home from our missions trip the girls and I start back to school. It feels like the summer is already over and its really just beginning.
Holy goodness batman! I clicked on boots and gus and someone moved the clock forward 27 minutes. How did that happen?
ReplyDeletei love me some myfitnesspal. the only exception is that i do not like the way it adds calories onto your available total when you log exercise. the only way to combat this is to add the exercise to strength training, but that's not much fun either. so i just don't log my exercise and use it strictly for the calories. :)
ReplyDeletemy loves: vbs preschool music, farkle on facebook (ridiculous obsession), my daughter's answer to the question of "what does the froggy say?" "BIBBIT!" (she's 23 months. and number 4, aka number last. which is what i don't love.)
That skirt is on sale online now! Not a clearance price, but still $7 off! :)
ReplyDeleteI have two boys and HAD to baby proof; they even try their best to make the baby proofed stuff dangerous! They are thrill seekers those little men...have you read Wild At Heart? Helped me understand my little men a little bit more, and my hubby, too. Would highly recommend that book and baby-proofing. Get ready, my boys never really walked...just ran...everywhere and all the time! Maybe you can add that in on MyFitness and it could cancel out the sugar! ;)
ReplyDeleteGoing to see them perform tonight! Pretty excited to see what they have in store.
ReplyDeleteOk, you crack me up....this post made me smile while I'm at stupid lame workplace today. And Shane, I'm warning you know...my son was JUST like that. He was climbing furniture at 14 months and trying to escape from the house. We had to tie, yes, TIE our chairs to the kitchen table because he kept moving them to use as ladders for evil. I used to call him baby evil. Boys are very entertaining and so different from girls. And Pen and Paints...I love. I have a camera print that I bought from her recently that I need to frame.
ReplyDeleteI definitely have a love/hate relationship with myfitnesspal. Love how easy it is to keep track of meals & snacks, hate it because I often go over the calorie limit. =\
ReplyDeleteI snagged that verse print as soon as I saw it. It's the verse we are learning at our worship arts camp this week and it goes perfect-o with my house! So glad you shared it with us.
ReplyDeleteI tried on a pink and beige chevron skirt at Old Navy and it WAS on sale ~ and it was ALL KINDS of wrong on me...that sucked. In my head I had bought it already..hate it when that happens!
ReplyDeleteI made homemade guac and salsa today and I ran 3.11 miles before I ate any of it ~ I'm loving that :D
So happy to know someone else is not eating sugar. It is hard but reaping rewards in my walk with God. Kelly
ReplyDeleteMy friends brother is part of that band! They're great!
ReplyDeleteYou should listen to their take on Adele's 'someone like you' its wonderful.
Love your blog, your littles are beautiful.
Your "happy Sunday" posts, so good, and sometimes it's exactly what I need to see/hear/read
Thanks for that
That skirt is totally on sale now! Just got one!

I LOVE Pen & Paint too. I have her "She turned her dreams..." print hanging in my house!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! So cheeful and California-y! :)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is working at Hume Lake Camp alllllllll summer! She's already having fun!
Totally had to tell you that 5 seniors from my son's high school band did the Somebody That I Used to Know guitar thingy at the end of year concert. LOVED it! Hadn't seen it. LOVE! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd you are rad.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me smile when I get comments that say "@joyshope would love this". Obvs I've only had two, but both of those were awesome. People know you well.
Hey! My name is Jolene:) I'm not even sure how I stumbled across your blog, but I wanted to tell you that the skirt you tried on at Old Navy is on sale now...for $15 and there is a 20% off coupon you can print online that is good through today. I hope you can get it:)
ReplyDeleteAngry Julie Monday and I have the same type of boys - I spent six months locking my kitchen chairs in a spare bedroom after breakfast each morning because I'd find my 13 month old swinging from my kitchen table light fixture. He's 4 now, and we still have three locks on every door, 5 ft. tall plexiglass covering our upstairs railings, and have removed all of the cranks from our casement windows. My sister has four girls and scratches her head - she's never needed so much as an outlet cover!
