Hola!

Como Estas?

Yesterday was a rough day in the WB house… but we’ve moved passed it and we’re back to our happy place

Amidst the chaos, I did my best to make M a healthy lunch.

Avocado Cream Cheese Sammi, A very ripe peach, and Kashi Crackers.

M Looooooves avocados!!! I’m pretty sure she would eat a whole one on her own!

For a girl whose gums are in pain… she sure did gobble up her lunch!

Do You Habla?

Did you know that I’m hispanic and can’t speak a lick of spanish?! Its so embarrassing! I grew up with both my parents speaking spanish. My mom wanted us to habla, but my dad wanted us to learn English first. So… English it was! My brother and I never learned Spanish. Its so sad I’ll be in a store and a little old Mexican lady comes to me to help her translate… and I can’t

My husband who’s 85% Irish speaks more Spanish than I do!

I need to learn Spanish…. I want to be able teach it to M.

You’re probably wondering where this little epiphany came from… right? Well, this past weekend I met a little girl, same age as M, and she spoke both English and Spanish. She was thirsty and asked her mom for “Agua… Water”. She said both. I continued to watch this little baby/girl say words in two languages. She saw our neighbors dog and said “Pedro… Dog.”

I can’t even get M to say the complete word “Dog,” she says “Daaa” for “dog.”

I would love M to grow up speaking two languages… but honestly… If I can get my 16 month old to say any word other than “more” I’d be happy

Regardless… I need to learn Spanish and use it if I want M to learn it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On My Agenda:

• Go for a 6 mile run with M
• Pay Bills
• Do some housework (laundry, organizing)
• Wash car
• Work on Weekly Bite updates
• Work on Weekly Bite newsletter
• Look into purchasing Rosetta Stone????

Have a wonderful Thursday!!!!!

Hi Folks…

We’ve had a rough couple of days in the WB household. Little Miss M has been wearing her cranky pants and has decided she won’t be letting mommy get much done (other than pay attention to her )

In all seriousness… I’m pretty sure every molar known to man in coming through… poor kid

With all the kid drama I completely forgot to announce the winner of my Hain Celestial Giveaway.

The winner is comment #7 Andrea!!!! Yay!!!

Andrea, I will be sending you an email to get all your info Congrats!

See you all tomorrow!

I made a such a great dinner last night that I just had to share it with you. This is a quick and easy take on chicken cordon blue.

I think I saw this recipe in a Southern Living Magazine… not sure though.

Its super easy…

First you wanna take about a cup of Italian bread crumbs, a little salt and pepper, and put it in a large ziploc bag. Then take some chicken breast tenders that have been cleaned, place them in the ziploc bag, and shake away until they’re all coated with crumbs.

Cook them in a large pan with a couple tablespoons of olive oil until browned…. about five minutes on each side.

Once cooked, place a strip of canadian bacon on each chicken tender.

Then place a small slice of swiss cheese on top.

Finally… take the entire pan, place it in the oven and broil for a few minutes until cheese is melted.

I served this with some Israeli Couscous and sauteed zucchini and mushrooms. This is so good and so easy! Its perfect for a quick dinner.

Eight Years……………

Today… Tim and I are celebrating our eight year wedding anniversary! I can’t believe its been eight years. It feels like just yesterday when I was a little twenty-two year old girl, out at a bar, and met this tall handsome man.

Yes… we met at a bar. I wish I had some unique story on how we met… but no… we met at a bar 10 1/2 years ago and have been together ever since.
  

We’ve been through so much together… and have literally grown up together. He’s my best friend and I feel so fortunate to have him in my life.

And now we have Little Miss M… she just brought everything to a whole other level….

That smile just about says it all…….

…. and on that note…. I’m out….

Have a great Tuesday!
