5 Ways in which I DO have it all together

In the spirit of last week’s post, 5 ways in which I DON’T have it all together, today I bring you 5 ways in which I DO have it all together:
1. I only hit the snooze button once this morning! That’s a new record.
2. I made s’mores last night for dessert. In the microwave. That’s called being awesome.
3. I successfully managed the doggie daycare AND kiddo daycare pick ups after work yesterday with zero meltdowns!
4. I managed to make a healthy dinner while also entertaining a busy toddler, 2 cats, and a dog. I made a variation of these pineapple turkey rice bowls and OMG they were good. I used quinoa instead of rice because it’s Hudson’s favorite. It was a mess…but he ate it and that’s all that matters in my book!
5. Hudson’s Valentine’s Day cards were done before February 1st! Take that procrastination! I showed you! (they may not be mailed yet, but at least they are done!)

How do you have it all together today?

    Smore's for dessert are a fav in our house too. Microwave, oven, fireplace – whereever:) Love the Valentine's, we are currently working on some Valentine projects to send to friends and family:) Love love Hudson and Wrigely. How cute are they together?!?!

    I'm pretty sure you always have it together! High fives for microwaved smores, that's how we roll over here!

    S'mores are a favorite in our house but we suffer cravings all winter because it's too cold to sit around the fire pit and I DON'T have it together with microwave s'mores because the graham crackers always end up soggy. Anyone have any suggestions for crispy microwave s'mores?

    What an awesome post! I love it. Also, would love to hear your tips on how you entertain your little guy while cooking. My girlie loves to "help" while I cook so it's sometimes hard to figure out ways to keep her distracted enough 🙂
