Sometimes I feel like I have nothing useful/important/noteworthy to talk about. Clearly, by my lack of blogging, that’s how I’m feeling about this week.

Does anyone really care that I bought fresh spinach on a whim over the weekend? I’ve never bought it before, but for some reason I was called to it. Now I’m left with a big ole thing of spinach and needing ideas on how to use it. Classic. Anyway, at the store, I also bought some pita pockets and avocados. The last two days I’ve made myself pita sandwiches with fresh spinach, diced avocado, hard boiled egg, a little bit of cheese and a spot of mayo. Ummmm…I’m obsessed. Nutritious. And totally filling and sustaining. I didn’t bring it today and I’m already wishing I had.

Does anyone really care about the book I’m currently reading? I always say I don’t like reading. The I start a book and I have a hard time putting it down. In Reese’s early days/long drawn out nursing sessions, I read the book Unbroken, a true WWII survival story about the American Olympic runner Louie Zamperini. It was amazing. Right now, I’m reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. The story of the woman behind theHeLa cells that pretty much revolutionized science and medicine as we know it today. Another good one. Here’s what I’ve learned about myself when it comes to reading…the book either has to be completely mindless romance novel type reading, or I want a non-fiction book that really tell a story that has some meaning.

Now that I’ve got this randomness out of the way, I feel like my mind will be clear enough to write about a few other things that I’ve been thinking about for a while. One being milk-sharing and the other more recipe reviews. I’ve been having fun doing those recipe reviews the last couple of weeks. I’m going to try and keep up on them as a weekly thing. Fridays seem like a good day because it coincides nicely with meal planning/grocery shopping over the weekend. This week? Ranch Pork Chops. Also, since I’ve been doing a lot of meal planning talk, and there seems to be some interest on the subject, I decided to reformat and republish our weekly dinner plans.

But, something I know everyone loves to see? Cute photos of cute kids.

I started letting Reese feed herself chunks of food. It’s so fun to watch her figure things out, but I get all sorts of twitchy thinking of the mess she’s making.

I was a little late to work this morning. But both girls were uncharacteristically snuggly this morning and I couldn’t pass that up.
