Food Bed

October 6, 2014 · In: Uncategorized

P1010106-1 P1010110-2 P1010116-3 P1010120-4 P1010127-5 P1010135-6 P1010139-7Soooo I probably should have censored that first photo! EEK! Ha! 

Kelly’s family introduced us to the petting zoo (with pony rides and gold panning) in San Juan Capistrano by the train station this weekend.

Kelly said the animals are fed so much that they don’t even care about food. One of the guinie pigs “porpied” (as in porpoise flopped) his way onto the food tray and used it as a bed. Chris said we were going to lie down all over the cinnamon rolls we took to go from brunch once we got home. Kelly’s husband looked down at the straw floor of the animal pen and said he could nap right there. Right then. 

I’m drinking more coffee these days. It’s a matter of safety.

      Oh, Jessica it was hilarious to see all the different guinea pig looks! It was more fun seeming after the 2 hour nap we had that afternoon. Lol that’s how most things are these days. Delayed appreciation. 🙂 Love it!

    Omigosh this looks like tons of family fun Christina! And a bed of cinnamon rolls sounds totally dreamy 🙂 On this K-drama I was watching over the weekend, the heroine was given a gigantic chicken leg plushie by her boyfriend. He was a keeper for that gesture ;p

    I have a childhood friend whose family moved to San Juan Capistrano! It’s the only part of California I’ve ever visited and it was beautiful, one of the best trips I went on as a child! The petting zoo looks like a lot of fun, I love visiting with animals.

    And coffee is a must have- always.

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!
