What's Pinterest-ing me this Week.
Hey, Party People.
It's Thursday. Which means it's almost Friday! Which means its almost the weekend!! Here's my list of things I've found Pinterest-ing this week. Get it??!! Sorry.
1. Earl Grey MarTEAni from A Move Begins
These are delicious. And gorgeous. They take a bit of forethought (the Gin needs to infuse for two hours) but oh so worth it! I used the egg whites, I say go for it.
Cashews, coconut milk, maple syrup?!! I'm in!
Does this need any explanation? I might have had to change my pants after seeing this. Oh, Saved by the Bell. You were so good to me.
Did someone say something?? Sorry, I was too busy swooning over this bad boy.
5. Cheetah it up! from The Beauty Department
Even I could do this. And I'm totally nail-art challenged. So fun!
Mind blown. This is so very, very brilliant.
7. The Struggle from Natalie's Sentiments
I think this speaks for itself. Say it to yourself, "highlight reel." Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
Happy Thursday, lovelies!

5 Things We're Loving Right Now - {Winter 2012}
Ok so it's been Winter for awhile now, but around here, it hasn't really felt like Winter. Not that I'm complaining, I'm totally cool with it. The only really junky thing about this mild Winter is all the horrid sickness that's going around. It's the worst. Not to mention, we've been planning on tapping our Maple trees this season and making syrup, but we're not sure the syrup will run properly without the right mix of cold and warm days! Blah, blah, I live in the country now, but seriously!!! I guess we'll have to wait and see. In the meantime, we've discovered some things that we're absolutely loving right now..I think you'll dig them too.
1. San Pellegrino Pompelmo - (otherwise known as Grapefruit)
We always have the Limonata and Aranciata (lemonade and orange) flavors on hand. In fact, the lemon got me through my second pregnancy, but this Grapefruit is by far my favorite! We started finding it in stores about a month ago, and I can't get enough! Try it. Tastes like summer in a glass.
2. Trader Joe's Roasted Seaweed Snack
My 5 year old loves these. LOVES. The funny part, I can't stomach them! But she inhales them. I've seen her eat an entire bag in one sitting. Which is great, because seaweed is fantastic for you. Try them out. Maybe your 5 year old is as weird as mine?
3. Dior Rosy Glow Healthy Awakening Blush
Ok seriously, this stuff is NO JOKE! I tried it on at Sephora a few days ago to see if I liked it, and HOURS later, I still looked awake and lively, not pale and tired. Which, as a mom of two little maniacs, is how I always look at the end of the day. It's awesomesauce. I will marry it. Can we marry blush in New York? That's too bad. Because I love it with all my little heart. Try it. Trust in the City Mouse.
4. The Wet Brush
Dear, Wet Brush..how do I love thee? Um, I just do. Brushing out my oldest daughter's incredibly thick, very long hair, was a nightmare. My insanely awesome hair stylist, who also happens to have two little girls, told me to buy the Wet Brush. In fact, she sold it to me. Thank you, Heather!!! We now have a super easy post bath time routine. No more screaming and freaking out (I've calmed down some) and her hair is so much easier to manage. I don't have to chop it off anymore. Hurray! Try it. I bet you like it!
5. Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Conditioning Lip Balm with Turmeric
Let me start off by saying, I realize this is the worst name for a lip balm in history. I mean, really. And I realize that $15 for lip balm sounds insane. I agree. In fact, when I was buying it, my husband almost passed out, right there in the Origins store in the mall. Thankfully he didn't and thankfully I bought it. It has saved my lips this winter. It's not greasy or slick or sticky. It just goes on and stays on. And my lips are fantastically un-cracked. If only we could change the name....
That's it! 5 things we're loving this Winter!!
Happy Friday!!! Go do something good this weekend.

Monday Meal Planning -Super Bowl Style
Mornin'! My little people seem to have finally turned a corner!! Hurray! I want this sickness out of here. Unfortunately it seems my husband has caught it. Ugh. I'm pretty sure dealing with a sick 35 year old male is 100 x worse than a sick 2 year old. Poor thing. Let's hope he's better by Sunday, because I have a doozy of a Super Bowl Menu planned! And although he'll be rooting for the Giants and I'll be rooting for the Pats, at least we can agree on the food. Now if only I can convince at least one of my girls to root with me.....
Meatless Monday: Hearty Lentil and Black Bean Soup w/ Smoked Paprika
Tuesday: Crock Pot Teriyaki Chicken
Wednesday: Shaker Chicken Noodle Soup
Thursday: Swedish Meatballs
Friday: Caramelized Onion and Prosciutto Pizza
Saturday: Braised French Onion Chicken with Gruyere
Super Bowl Sunday:
White Queso Dip
Bloomin' Onion Bread
Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos
Sticky Asian Chicken Wings
Happy Monday!

Tuesday Meal Planning (yeah...sorry 'bout that)
Tuesday..what a weird day to meal plan. I had intended to get this up yesterday afternoon, but...I didn't. And now the girls and I are a little under the weather. Cough, cough. Sniff, sniff. Trying to meal plan with everybody constantly needing a drink or a cuddle or their nose blown isn't exactly the easiest thing in the world. So we're keeping this one short and sweet. I need to get back to humidifiers and dirty laundry.
Tuesday: Asian Lettuce Cups
Wednesday: Broiled Tilapia with Thai-Coconut Curry
Thursday: Homemade Chipotle Burrito Bowl
Friday: Espresso Steak Salad (Espresso Steak Rub Recipe)
Saturday: Southern Chicken and Corn Chowder
Sunday: Crock-pot Italian Turkey Meatballs
p.s. 5 out of the 6 recipes are pretty dang healthy!!! Hurray!
Happy Tuesday! Now can you pass me the VapoRub?
