June Photo-A-Day: Days 11-13

It's been a little busy around here, and so I haven't had the chance to post my photos, though they have been taken. So, here they are!

Day 11:

Door

 

 This is the door in R's room, which is encompassed by a tree from the mural that Briana from Tyr's Womama is painting for us.

Day 12:

From a low angle

 

 The bookshelf, or at least most of it. The photo editor made me cut out part of it. Adorned with a birdhouse, candles, a sword, an angel, a Buddha, and a statue that still managed to look beautiful after a particularly rough move that resulted in multiple amputations.

Day 13:

Art

 

I couldn't resist posting more pictures from the mural Briana is painting! It's already so beautiful, and she isn't even finished yet! I can't tell you all how excited I am to see the finished product! I'll post a nursery before and after when it's all done :)

Alright! Those were days 11-13, and I hope you all enjoyed. I should be back on track now, and things should continue being on time!

I have a few other things I plan on posting in the near future, mostly recipes, so keep checking back!

Meal Plan Monday 6/11

So, it's Monday and that means it's time to list this weeks meal plan! I'm trying something a little different this week,using a meal plan I found at 100 Days of Real Food. It lists food for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack, has a grocery list, and links to the different recipes. There are several things that are supposed to be made over the weekend so that they are available throughout the week, and so this plan actually starts on Sunday.

Sunday

Breakfast: Whole wheat banana pancakes with a side of cantaloupe

Lunch: Grilled cheese sandwich with half a peach and half a banana

Snack: Zucchini muffin

Dinner: Pork carnitas tacos with a side of watermelon

Monday

Breakfast: Granola cereal with sliced peaches

Lunch: Caprese penne pasta salad

Snack: Watermelon

Dinner: Quesadillas with leftover taco meat

Tuesday

Breakfast: Peanut butter banana smoothies with toast and cantaloupe

Lunch: Zucchini muffins with cream cheese, grapes, and watermelon

Snack: Handful of granola

Dinner: Grilled sandwiches with roasted veggies, monterey jack cheese, and pesto, with a side of fries.

Wednesday

Breakfast: Leftover banana pancakes with a side of watermelon

Lunch: Leftover caprese pasta salad

Snack: Half a peach

Dinner: Grilled salmon with lemon, grilled corn, sautéed green beans with mushrooms and biscuits

Thursday

Breakfast: Zucchini muffins with cream cheese and strawberries

Lunch: Peanut butter and banana sandwich with plain popcorn and half a peach

Snack: Grapes

Dinner: Chicken alfredo with leftover green beans

Friday

Breakfast: Granola cereal with bananas

Lunch: Cream cheese and cucumber sandwiches with grapes and strawberries

Snack: Half a banana with peanut butter

Dinner: Pizza pockets

Saturday

Breakfast: Scrambled eggs with toast or leftover biscuits and bananas

Lunch: Yogurt with granola, honey, and whatever fruit is left

Snack: Plain popcorn

Dinner: Leftover pizza pockets with sliced cucumber

The things I was supposed to make over the weekend were banana pancakes, corn tortillas, granola, caprese penne pasta salad, and zucchini muffins. I went to make the pancakes and muffins only to discover that I only had enough milk for cereal the next morning. We have milk delivered on Mondays from a local dairy, so once it arrives I will get on those. I'm going to freeze the leftover pancakes so that they can be thrown in the toaster on other pancake mornings. I put the granola in a large tupperware and stored it in the fridge. It would probably store well in the pantry, but I wanted to be safe. So, I spent a decent amount of time in the kitchen on Sunday, but it should make the rest of the week a lot easier. My hope is that with all the meals planned out and mostly premade I will be less tempted to go to the drive-thru while running errands.

We'll see how it goes!

June Photo-A-Day: Day 7

Well, it's a day late, but due to lots of cramping my midwife had me stay in bed, and honestly, I forgot. So, here it is!
 

Day 7:

Drink

 

McDonald's Cherry Berry Chiller. It's like drinking a popsicle! :)

June Photo-A-Day: Day 6

DAY 6:

Hat 

Well, it's two photos, but I don't think that's too big a problem.

My not quite finished knight helms. If interested, they can be purchased here. :)

It's a little late, but

In my defense, I just learned about it. Apparently there is this spiffy little thing called Photo-a-Day over at Fat Mum Slim's blog. There is a prompt for every day of June (in fact I think there is a new prompt list every month...) and you simply take a picture of that thing, as fancy or elaborate as you feel, and post the picture. You can post via Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, your blog, whatever, just share it and add the hashtag #photoadayjune so that others can find it as well. I'll post my picture a bit later today, but here is the list for any one else who would like to participate. :)
