Hi Friends!
After an amazing few days in Cali and a long day of travel yesterday, I’m home! I had grand intentions of having an awesome recap post ready to go for you today…but I was too ADD to write it on the plane and our Internet wasn’t working when I got home. So instead, here are five random tidbits to brighten your Friday:
1) I entered my peanut butter avocado cookies in a Hass Avocado recipe contest. Winner gets a free trip to the Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo (the annual conference for Registered Dietitians) and I’ve made it into the top 10! If you have a second to vote for me I would really appreciate it! Just CLICK HERE
2) I don’t even have these Fridge Coasters and I’m already obsessed with them! Love. Want. Need! How fun are they?!
3) This is Max. He weighs 80 pounds and is terrified of storms. My MIL found him IN the dryer the other day during a storm! Silly boy.
4) We have a summer 2013 playlist. That’s code for, we’ve pretty much been listening to the same 10 songs on repeat all summer long.
It also includes Blurred Lines, Same Love and Molly. Don’t judge 😉
5) Last night I took my most liked IG photo EVER. This is what we call stocking up on avocados. I mean, they were on sale…but still! Also, squirrel shirt for the win!
Tell me something you’re loving lately! A song, a food, a workout…let’s hear it!
Enjoy!

I need to make those cookies! And what am I loving this week? I started pilates this week in addition to my physical therapy- and after ten years away from pilates I remembered how much I love it. Have a great weekend!
Giselle@myhealthyhappyhome says
Peanut butter avocado cookies!?! Sounds amazing! You need to give the avocado hoarder in the last picture the recipe! Ha!

Love the IG pic! He definitely was making your cookies. 🙂
misszippy says
I love this post–so much fun stuff! I love Blurred Lines and I’m pretty mad that Miley kind of ruined it for me. I try to erase the visual, but it’s hard!

The IG picture is priceless.

After spending a week in the hospital in August with a kidney infection, I can really appreciate being able to do the things I want to do and get my body a good work out at the same time.
I voted for your cookies! Good luck!

That photo is hilarious! I’ve also been eyeing those fridge coasters. Right now I use paper towels in my crisper drawer, and shelf liners in the fridge. Isn’t it funny what pets get into?!:) Pur dogs are obsessed with trying to get in the dishwasher when we load supper dishes!:) Have a great weekend!!

Laura@ fitrunningmama.com says
I’ve made those cookies and they are great!! I created a Chia Avocado chocolate pudding that my daughter loves– it’s great when you can sneak some amazing and healthy fats into baked yumminess

Caroline says
That is a clutch picture! Wow! My best was a picture of a man walking his goat in a New Hampshire town. Oh, and I should probably mention that the goat was wearing a bright red foam visor. I could not make this up if I tried.
Jan @ Sprouts n Squats says
Max is way too cute 🙂
That photo is gold! I love how he looks like he is counting just how many avocados he has to make sure he has enough!
