Happy Monday, friends!
We are on week 42 of 2019! Here’s what Week 42 looked like last year. I’m writing this from Idaho. We’ve had a wonderful time with family here.
This week we have some unpacking to do from our trip. I have to get my house back into shape. I’ve got company this weekend and a bunch of work to do. Right now I’m ready to focus on my Intentions for the Week. Here they are!
Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 41
Coloring club on the bleachers!
My friend Cosie made this. Amazing, huh??!
Here’s what I accomplished. We lost the game 🙁
Proud of this boy and how hard he works at baseball!

I have a handful for vegetarians in my life and this recipe for Crispy Cauliflower and Kale Penne from my friend Allison’s book The Pasta Friday Cookbook 
If you’re looking for an amazing pasta cookbook to inspire get-togethers, feeding masses and EATING pasta and amazing salads, you should totally check out The Pasta Friday Cookbook !
This recipe provides all of the things I love in a pasta dish:
It’s a treat for your tastebuds!
Also really good if you’re in a family like mine where YOU are the one who hogs all of the vegetables in the pasta dish.
That would be me. I like more vegetables than pasta. What can I say?
If I didn’t have to share, I’d probably half the penne in the recipe and go for allllllllll the vegetables.
That’s just me. That’s my adventure! You’re welcome to choose your own.
Also, please watch this video of Oprah discussing how awesome cauliflower is the new thing.

So good, right?
This recipe provides BOTH. I bet Oprah would approve.
Happy Monday, friends!
We are now on week 41 of 2019.
Here’s what My Everyday Life Week 41 looked like last year.
This weekend we had baseball tournament. It was nice to spend time away from home with friends! Cooper had a chance to go swimming with his teammates and play football at our hotel. I filled up 4 pages of my sketchbook with coloring club drawings on the bleachers.
We lost two games and won one. I enjoyed spending time with my boys.
Now the LAUNDRY PILE UP BEGINS as we start unpacking. We have another family trip coming up again so we’ll have to pack again! Lots to do before then. It’s time for me to spend some time jotting down my Intentions for the Week.
Here’s what this past week looked like – My Everyday Life Week 40
Cooper turned 11 this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHERE DOES THE TIME GO???
He’s lucky he gets to celebrate his birthday at school! I make treats for him to bring.
I always use my grandma’s muffin tin when I’m making cupcakes and that makes me so happy.
I bet she would be stoked I still have it!
His favorite are chocolate cupcakes with chocolate chips and cream cheese frosting.
I add sprinkles to cover up my tired frosting skills.
He is worth the effort. His birthday is a grief trigger for me because I wish my Mom was around to see him grow up. She only got to be with him until 9. I am thankful it was that long though. He knows her and remembers her and says things she used to say and I am so grateful for that. It still hurts.
