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?!?!

    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 🙂
