I love that you are in demand! Definitely explore your options, though I hope that doesn't make the final decision difficult.

Those cookies are adorable! And I love your before and after pictures. You are such a beautiful lady!

For some amazing reason I've dropped 3.4 pounds between Tuesday morning and this morning. I knew I was constipated and had been eating too much sodium, but I guess I was really full of "you-know-what"! I expect all counts to be up tomorrow as we are going to a new Italian restaurant on the water tonight.

This weekend we are going to the Irish Festival (in Canton MA for those in Massachusetts). DH loves Irish music so he is excited. We are going with some old friends so that will be fun as well.

My picture is of Justice being cuddled by DH and giving DS A kiss. He is such a lovebug!

Always lots of coffee...

B: Eggs scrambled with cottage cheese and Canadian bacon

L: tuna salad with pickles and cottage cheese

D: Italian (don't know what yet)

S: yogurt maybe if needed

Oh, I love that picture of Justic in mid-lick! He's so adorable! Love how he's cradled there like a baby.

good morning everyone and happy Friday!

JB those cookies are SO CUTE!
My sister has started making/decorating cookies in the last couple years so I know it takes a lot of time and effort!

I had an appt last night to get some plantars warts removed from my feet and OMG i didn't realize how painful it would be :( I didn't really plan to be completely unable to walk for more than 20 feet at a time...I guess I will be taking it easy this weekend instead of going to the beach or the pool or anything else really. I also have an appt this afternoon to have a Mirena IUD put in so I guess I probably would've wanted to rest for a day or 2 after that anyway.

Morning: coffee w/half caramel PP
B: 2oz turkey bfast sausage and string cheese
L: crab/bacon/pea salad
D: TBD
S: greek 100 protein yogurt

my pic is from last weekend on the beach again- We have lived in this house for almost 2 years now and couldn't be happier with how it all turned out. we are definitely blessed...how many people can say they live 2 blocks from a Beach in the Chicago burbs without paying a 6 figure mortgage/insane rent? LOL

where are you in Chicago? I'm in Madison, but we go to Chicago a lot. I have cousins both in the city and in the western and northwestern 'burbs!

Update: near the beach - so you must be on the north side. We go up there sometimes, too!
