The long weekend is almost here!

I literally have been so busy at work that some days I come home and put Miss S to bed and fall asleep on the couch by 8:30pm!!!  Data Conversion projects will do that to you I suppose.

We are all looking forward to a long weekend over here.  Lots of festive activities planned including an easter egg hunt, day time beverages (for us at least), brunching’ and maybe a little date action.  Happy Easter!

Energy Bites

The other day I had some bananas rotting away on the counter so I decided to make some banana bread.  And in attempt to not eat the banana bread I whipped up these quick #NoBake energy bites.

  1. Mix together all of the ingredients in a large bowl until combined well.
  2. Refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes (be sure to cover the bowl).
  3. Roll the mixture into balls (about 1.5 inches in diameter).  I froze my bites for about an hour to solidify them.  But they can be stored in the refrigerator for a week.  (I ate them all within 2 days #Oops)

Cookies and Misto

03.24.15

I love me some home baked chocolate chip cookies!  The only problem? I (always end up eating 10 in a row) can never just have one!

Side note: I often get in a rut of drinking the old favourite at Starbucks aka I’ll obsess over the same drink for a few months before changing it up.  Decided to try something new today…. Tall Non Fat Hazelnut Cafe Misto.   Mat Leave Mommies love their drive thru starbies!

 

9-5 Pregnancy Style

I have been working on this post for what feels like 2 weeks.  As you can tell by the OBVIOUS bathroom selfies – my normal OOTD shots are kind of non existent.  I really need to get a large full body mirror!

Anywhoo these are a few of my “corporate” looks while expecting.  My go tos have been blazers by far.  Preferably cropped and made with a light weight material that is not too restrictive.  In most of the shots, my pants, dress, top, pantyhose are maternity which I’ve mixed with non maternity blazers and accessories.

Spring 2013 – Shopping List

Polyvoring this set of all the things I’ve been eyeing for the last few months.

1. Whoa, so ready to jump on the Homies Beanie bandwagon
2. In dire need of new runners, why not try Nike Free
3. Not able to make it to any Music festivals, but totally down to rock the Mirrored Wafers
4. Too chicken to go for the real thing Inkwear Temp Tattoos
5. The Zara Skort, I’m seeing this on EVERY blog, and now I want one
6.  I’m really wanting to try the BB, CC, DD Creams (open to recommendations)
7.  Head charms are soooo desi, but rocking them with an OOTD would be awesome
8. Celine Tshirt, yep another bandwagon I need to get on

Our trip to India – Quick Recap

“India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grand mother of tradition. Our most valuable and most astrictive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only!”  Mark Twain

In saying that, the food is amazing, the history is rich, the culture is a little blurred these days but the fashion is still intense.

We had the amazing chance to expore North India (Delhi, Gurgaon, Ajmer, Pushkar, Jaipur, Jalandarh, Amrisar, Chandigarh, Nalagarh & Agra) to visit some amazing sights and people (our family :P)
