Inspiration #1: I saw this idea on Pinterest (considering Pinterest Anonymous, do you need it too?). I picked up a tube of glow sticks from the dollar rack at Target, cracked them all and tossed them into the tub while my kids waited for the "surprise" bath night. Oh my successfulness, you would have thought they just saw Santa. Seriously, I may never win Mom of the Year, but these little gems won we Mom of the night! Try it!
Inspiration #2: Low sugar, high protein, yumma-licious fudge.You have no idea how much I wish I could claim this BRILLIANT recipe as my own. I can't, but I can share it with you. It's so easy. I made this today in the time it took my little one to "do his business" - now that's efficient (am I the only one using serious restraint to withhold fudge jokes?). If you can get past that last comment, this gooey concoction is flat delish. Try it too!
(from iseefitpeople-everywhere.blogspot.com)
1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1/4 cup Chocolate Protein Powder (I used vanilla)
1/4 cup Natural Peanut Butter (I used almond butter)
1/4 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
Melt all together in a pan, poured the mixture into 1/4 of the 9×13 glass dish sprayed with a bit of baking spray. Refrigerate several hours. Enjoy!!
Inspiration #3: Seaweed. Yes, seaweed. I am beginning to understand the aptly named snack. Worth checking out. They're an odd experience!
Inspiration #4: Pomegranates. Don't you want to love them? They're gorgeous, healthy, delicious, all things good. I cursed a little under my breath last night as I stood determined to serve my little ones a bowl of juicy seeds. However, as I pried, popped, and dodged squirts of red juice, I realized that they remind me of pregnancy. You forget how much work it is until you're laboring! No matter how much the shiny little brochure tries to convince me that they are easy to prepare, I know better! And yet, somehow every year I experience pomegranate amnesia and buy them again. Like pregnancy I know that at the end there is a sweet, beautiful reward, but there is a LOT of labor first. What inspired you today?
