The Love Bite

March 18, 2014 · In: ROMANCE

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

When Chris tells me he loves me, I often respond with, “Yes, but how do I know?” Very annoying. Well, the last time he replied with, “I always give you the good bite when we share food.” 

Wow. I am really loved. If I were a pooch, I’d be the one who would hang out in the kitchen. Not the one waiting for any crumb to fall, but waiting for you to slow cook some organic, grass fed, step 5 (basically someone read the cow bedtime stories every night), burgundy, short ribs and share a little with me because I licked your leg very gently and cutely.

How do you SHOW love? I seem to like showing off the amount of love I receive by my thigh size. Love that.

I Instagrammed this morsel I found waiting for me in the kitchen one afternoon. SOMEONE didn’t want to eat the last piece and leave me nothing.

Is he looking at the rest of the pizza thinking which slice should go to me? Hope so!

      I totally get it from my momma too! I feel so lucky to have a mom who would spend so much time in the kitchen! She still does and sends me home with food when I visit!

      Thanks, Alisia…yes, the crumbs of love. 😉 I LOVE authentic Italian pizza!!! I’ve only been twice but I’ve eaten loads of it there and always try to find a place near our home. This was incredible in Culver City (where Sony pictures is located).

    Haha that is definitely love. Yesterday as we shared a side of truffle fries (YUM), I expressed my worry that Tim would get more than me, since he eats faster. So he stopped when the last few were left.

      Truffle fries are my FAVORITE thing (said that in monster voice). Tim knows what’s good for him! 🙂 Sometimes I totally have to tell Chris: put the utensils down for a bit or you have to get your own plate! 🙂

      I would eat outside exclusively if I could! My dream house has an outdoor living room and dining room…plus a pizza oven…and a fireplace…this could go on forever. Basically I’m living outside with an indoor bathroom. 😉

    That is too cute, you guys sound like such a lovely couple!
    Also, that pizza is literally making me shake it looks so good, because I am currently on a grain-free, dairy-free regiment to try and fix some stuff, and OMG pizza is the only thing that I really, really miss.

It looked so bad but wasn’t sure if it was just cosmetic thing or something I should get checked out for my health.

I was avoiding it and “waiting until I had time” to deal with it as a mom of 4.

I finally made time and l’m so glad I did.

This was the start of my health journey at 45.

This makes our weekdays so much less chaotic, and I don’t feel like a scullery maid-I feel like I have a personal chef!

I get to focus my time and energy on connecting with the kids or taking a moment to rest. 

Throw these together really quickly this weekend for a smooth week. 

The mini meat loafies are a quick snack, packable lunch item or dinner main.

The turkey taco meat is so quick and you can make so many different dishes with it.

Have you considered a “pattern interrupt” element Have you considered a “pattern interrupt” element to design your space and make it stand out?

A design element that just doesn’t make total sense but adds the zest to the room that just makes it?

But why is it so hard to figure out the exact thing that will make your space special?

You’re an emotional decorator! You’re someone who walks into a room and knows she loves it but can’t explain why.

I’m here to help!

Part II of Translating what we love about this space-Nancy Meyers edition!

This iconic kitchen from It’s Complicated, is so funny because Jane is in the works to finally renovate to get her DREAM KITCHEN and we would all love to have this one as it is right now!

Why? 

Notice that there are layers of detail from floor to ceiling and even ceiling!

If you want your home decor to feel cozy, there’s nothing like decorating every surface.

Keep it neutral if too much business overwhelms you.
When I spotted this window shelf in the movie, I thought it would be the perfect way to add some interest to our very boxy dining room-my pattern interrupt.

All the moms at the mommy and me meetup looked so All the moms at the mommy and me meetup looked so amazing. I wondered what their secret was.

When was I going to bounce back like that?

Everyone was being vulnerable so when it was my turn I said, “I still can’t fit into my old jeans.”

One of the moms looked at me and said, “I just bought new jeans.”

I was shocked! She looked amazing!

I thought that if I bought jeans for my current “larger size” as in “not my ideal size,” it would mean I was settling for my current state that I didn’t want.

Then it hit me.

When you see yourself as worthy and do things that make you feel great-like new clothes that fit, your mind does something you’re not even aware of.

when your brain says, “I look cute” then you’re just going to continue to look better on a subconscious level. 

Why?

Your self image improves and when it does, you do things in alignment with a good self image like eating better or moving more or learning how to do your hair at its best!
