Lets train

How about some miscellaneous on this lovely Monday?

When we were in Lake Tahoe a few weeks ago and saw the most incredible sunset over the Lake. 

This photo doesn't even do it justice. It was one of the most beautiful sunsets I have seen.

The colors were reflecting over the entire lake. Breathtaking.

Lots of party prep happening.

 I am excited about her party.....guess what the theme is? ;)

I have been making smoothies this year as a way to eat more fruits & veggies.

This smoothie was amazing! I threw in some almond milk, peanut butter, bananas & spinach/kale mix. You couldn't even taste the veggies. I will have to blog the recipe next time I make it & get the measurements written down.

The weather we have had here in California the past month is CRAZY.

It has been in the 70's since Christmas. 

The girls have been wearing short sleeves & flip flops.

It does not feel like January.

Blue skies, warm days...it is messing with my mind.

I keep thinking it is Spring. Which means Summer is almost here.

But, no. It is January. We have many, many more months until Summer. 

See what I mean about the mind tricks? Ha!

But in all seriousness, we need rain...really bad. 

We are in a drought. It is not good!

My younger sister Rebecca is pregnant with Baby #2 and due in May.

I had a feeling it was going to be a girl. This Fall, I had a dream that she was pregnant with a girl and then the next day she told me she was pregnant!

 I had saved 2 bins of my girls baby clothes....special ones or really cute ones that I just couldn't bear to giveaway. I had so much fun going through them last week with my sister. So happy that her little girl will wear some of my girls clothes. Lots of memories in those bins.

Can't wait to meet my new niece in May.

All the cool kids are born in May ;)

I might be turning into a hippie. Ha!

 I got a starter kit of some Essential Oils and started using them this weekend.

 Hoping the lavender one helps Luke start sleeping better...he has been waking up so much the past month or two...teething is the main culprit but now I think he is just in the habit of waking up. 

I want my good sleeper back!

Anyone else use Essential Oils?

Yesterday my beloved 49ers played in the NFC Championship against Seattle.
