Weekend Bliss

Hey! I hope you all had a nice weekend! :) Mine started off with a nice dinner on Friday night: Raw collards with cooked millet, white beans, sun dried tomatoes and avocado. I added lemon and olive oil to the collards along with some seasoning and massaged them before adding the warm millet and beans. Yum!
On Saturday we went to Whole Foods for our weekly groceries and lunch, but we only ended up having lunch because T's mother was coming over earlier then we had expected. I made a big salad of raw kale, raw cabbage, guacamole, quinoa, chickpeas, raw peppers and carrots. We ended up doing a little shopping in town with T's mother. She bought Baby A the cutest Easter dress, along with a bonnet!!! I will definitely share pics after Easter. She also bought her an adorable jean skirt with a white sleeveless shirt, perfect for The 4th of July! I swear, my little girl has nicer clothes then I do! Little style maven! ;) We went to dinner (do you believe Baby A slept the WHOLE time?) and I had a big salad and a side of broccoli rabe. No picture, sorry!!!
On Sunday morning I made my usual smoothie (Chocolate Sunwarrior, Bananas, Spinach, Almond Milk) and I used it as milk over some Chocolate Raw Granola. This was so chocolaty!!! I was in heaven!!
On Sunday afternoon we ventured back to Whole Foods for lunch and groceries (this time for real!). Again, Baby A slept. Ha ha! I made another pricey salad: raw kale, olives, red and white cabbage, olives, quinoa and brown rice. I also grabbed a lemon slice to squeeze on top. I love lemons!
Sunday was rainy so after that we stayed in and watched The Social Network. T and I thought it was okay. Interesting, but not Oscar worthy to us. 

I leave you with a picture of Baby A going to sleep in our bed one night a few weeks ago (sorry for the bad quality, I took it on my phone). We love co-sleeping and Baby A sleeps for 6 hour stretches now!  Whoohoo!!  Although, I shouldn't complain. She has been a really good sleeper since around week 3. She sleeps a lot during the day and at night never cries. She does love to eat though!!!! :)
Have a great day! <3

"another pricey salad..."haha, that made me laugh. Seriously, food bar + whole foods = a lot of money! But, it is very convenient (and good!) :)

Baby A looks beautiful, as always!

Co sleeping was such a lifesaver.. and so was nursing when it came to being up in the middle of the night!

Gotta love those convenient Whole Foods salads for new moms.

Baby A can melt hearts with those eyes. she's the cutest!

totally going to have to try massaging collards, Lauren - don't know why i didn't think to try that before. so awesome! i can't wait to see Baby A's bonnet and easter dress, and rock on with the smoothie 'n raw granola! chocolate heaven, fo 'sho! oh, and i FINALLY ordered some sun warrior protein powder - the chocolate flavor. i can't wait to try it out! i was kinda iffy on the Social Network as well, i don't know that i'll see it as it never really struck me as something i could get into and i can totally see how it's not Oscar worthy. i hope your week is a glorious one, Lauren!
