Resting Up!

Hey Sweetie Pies! I hope your week is going well. I am trying to relax and get stuff done at the same time! :) So many little things that I have to get done before the baby is born, but I am also trying to get my rest and relax as much as possible. The weekends are so hectic, so during the week I spend my days trying to chill and get all the rest I can!

I pulled this card yesterday (from Magical Messages from the Fairies): Express Your Individuality: Allow Your True Self To Shine Because You Are Awesome!


Just a little pick-me-up on your Wednesday! :)

Over the weekend I made a delicious meal inspired by Gena. I actually meant to make the exact meal she did, BUT, I forgot the beans at the store (D'oh, pregnancy brain!). So instead of rice and beans, I used potatoes. I WILL make it the right way next week because I am loving Field Roast! Thanks for turning me onto it, Gena! I am not a faux meat fan AT ALL, but these don't have any crappy ingredients and they are super tasty. They do contain gluten, but they are soy free. Plus, they have 25 grams of protein! 

I also made a delicious vegetable and rice soup last week. This had carrots, celery, potatoes, brown rice, chickpeas and vegetable broth. I always add kombu and soy-free miso. Perfect cooler weather meal. Everyone always asks if I use cookbooks for my meals, but the truth is, I usually just wing it, and sometimes I get ideas (or recipes) from other bloggers.

And finally, my favorite snack this week: a dark chocolate Theo Bar. I always put my chocolate in the freezer and I grab a little piece whenever I want some. One bar usually lasts a week or two.

Finally, here I am at almost 35 weeks! I am pretty sure the baby has dropped because I am feeling her a lot lower and my ribs don't hurt at all anymore. She's almost ready!!!

Have a wonderful day all!
