snow in the midwest.

My parents live in the midwest and the night of Christmas they got over a foot of snow! I'm a tad bit jealous. This morning as I was browsing through facebook my newsfeed was filled with all of these beautiful pictures of back home.

They recieved another 3-6 inches last night. 

 

I've been living in Florida for a year and half now and I still can't get used to "winter" and "cold weather" here. It's not the same for this midwest girl. Seeing everyone's pictures of the beautiful snowfall makes me miss the winter season and home so much.

 

However, I am thankful I don't have to get up early in the morning to scrape the snow off of my car and turn the heat on full blast so I'm not shivering as I drive to work. :) 

 

Thanks to everyone for posting your pictures! The snow is simply beautiful! Enjoy it for me :)

Eating at Home!!

Early morning breakfast!

This morning I woke up extra early for work to eat a quick yummy breakfast! I needed something that would stick with me for a while since I knew I wouldn't be able to break away from the desk throughout most of my day until lunch. Breakfast was Food For Life's Cinamon Rasin sprouted grain bread topped with some delicious MaraNatha Almond Butter to go on top of my toasted goodness! Soooo good!

Ever since John and I moved from Illinois we have a very very difficult time eating "home cooked meals". We litterally eat out 4-5 times a week, This is something we are NOT proud of and know that we could be eating so much healthier and not to mention save a lot of money.I know there is no "excuse" BUT if I can give one excuse...we both work full time and just don't feel like cooking, or waiting for that matter. Yesterday I was off work which helped give me a boost of energy! So last night we had a cooked meal!! It was super easy too! We made Chicken kabobs and John did a great job grilling them for us! I felt like it was a special occasion sitting at our dinner table eating dinner that WE cooked! Hopefully this will turn into a habit!
