Healthy Livin' On a Chilly Day!

My favorite way to start off a week is with church. One step past that would be baptisms at church [celebrate!!!]. To top it off, are baptisms of both the young and the mature. Even though I didn't know any of the folks today personally, I love love love watching the hand of God work in the lives of others and prompt them to take steps of faith.

baptisms @ sonrise! aaaamen! ♥

Amen? AMEN!

At home, it was a tough sell convincing Rob that Winter will in fact eventually pass, and that he can stop staring longingly out into the driveway at a boat that is still sitting in winter mode:

poor, poor winter boat.... 

To try and ease some of his seasonal funk, I got busy in the kitchen.. The first thing I was able to produce was some guacamole. It's one of our household favorites, and there's nothing quite like a couple of brand spankin' new, fresh avocados.

I got on a roll like I usually do whenever I find myself in these types of moods, so on to bigger tasks I was:

1. Fridge oatmeal, a quick approach to tomorrow's breakfast: Steelcut oats, chia seeds & blueberries, along with almond milk = a nice creamy blend of texture & sweetness that absorbs overnight in the fridge, hence the name Overnight Oatmeal.

Also on the list was the biggest challenge of the night: NOT burning my homemade granola bars to a crisp. I am happy to report that tonight was in fact a success!!

Phew! It was a success. Rob's in a better mood, I feel accomplished, and to top it off, there are healthy AND delicious snacks all over the place in this house. Win, win, WIN!

Bring it on, Monday - I'm ready for you!
