Me. After finishing my 31 miles in May yesterday.
The Munchkin Meals link up is coming up on Thursday of next week. Please take pictures and join in! Iām doing a before and after theme showing Haileyās plate before she eats and what is leftover after her meal to show how much she is eating.
Iām leaving this morning for BOSTON! Thoughts on thatā¦
When I told Hailey she was spending the weekend alone with dad.
After David and Hailey eat TCBY for dinner every night that Iām away.
Hitting the clubs with my single friends thinking this momās still got it.
My friendsā reaction.
I apologize in advance to those that follow me on instagram.. There are going to be a lot of pictures this weekend. Girl time- wahoo!
What are you excited about this weekend?
John J. says
Cute creative post. Lucky David, alone time with his daughter. Enjoy Boston!
Erin @ Sugar Magnolia says
Oh man I am making those this weekend!! Hope you have a wonderful time in Boston!!
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl says
Those energy bites sound fantastic! And I have the SAME problem when it comes to naming my recipes. It is like I have to include every single ingredient in the title! š Have a great time in Boston!
Karen says
What a fun weekend you have planned. I am looking forward to just relaxing this weekend. I think I’ll have to link up to munchkin meals this coming week, thanks for the reminder.
Nicole says
I make those energy balls frequently-they are definitely a hit with my family.
Have a FANTASTIC weekend!
Hanna says
Boston is awesome! You’ll love it. I’m leaving tomorrow to spend a week at the beach with my family. SO excited!
Brittany from CountingMyCupcakes says
Your news segments are so cool! Confession: When I watched it yesterday, I heard you say “chia seeds” and was confused for a second because I have ALWAYS pronounced them “chai” as in chai tea. Oh my gosh, I felt so dumb when I looked it up and realized I’ve been wrong this whole time. So thank you for teaching me something new š Have a great trip to Boston! I love those gifs, so cute about Hailey and David.
Danica @ It's Progression says

Woohooo gifs!! I have the hardest time naming recipes too, for the same reason. I want everyone to know all the good stuff that’s in them! š Have so much fun this weekend!
Shelby says
Please tell me where you found that shirt saying there’s a 99.9% chance I’m hungry, I have to have it!! My husband, friends and co-workers all know not to mess with me when I am hungry, which happens to be most of the day š
Ashley @ My Food N Fitness Diaries says
Those PB oat bites look delicious! And I love #4 – so true with me! š
I’m looking forward to seeing my husband this weekend after being away from him for a week!
Chantal says
I’m excited for our anniversary tomorrow! We’re going to see Star Trek and then eat Thai food, without baby. Heaven.
I love that GIF of Hailey’s reaction to being alone with her daddy. Pretty much what Penny does… This morning I was leaving for the gym, she started sobbing and trying to put her shoes on, saying “Outside! Outside!” Mama’s girls….
Giselle@myhealthyhappyhome says
Oh you will have so much fun on your girls weekend! It’s always great to get in some girl time especially once you have a kid!
I love the upcoming Munchkin Meals idea. I always wonder what other kids are actually eating on their plates. I know my son doesn’t always eat it all so that will be a fun one!
Parita says
Have fun in Boston! Try to go to Pizzeria Regina in Little Italy. It is by far some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. š And then afterwards, go to Mike’s Pastry. Your taste buds will thank me!
Danielle @ Long May You Run says
Step.. away… from the animated gifs…

We have a loooong car ride to Chicago coming up in the next few weeks, I’ll have to make those oatmeal ball things. Hopefully they travel well!
Julie says
Haha cute post! Have fun this wknd!

Hehe enjoy the girl time this weekend!
Those energy bites look really good! I’m terrible at naming my recipes too š
blackhuff says
LOL about the image of you falling on the floor but WELL DONE! That’s some serious mileage.
Neil Butterfield says
Those do look delicious. Love that type of treat with a nice cup of coffee.
Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen says
I love this! (Even if I AM reading this on Monday. :)) Can’t wait to read the recap of your trip, and actually I’m also excited to see your Munchkin Meals on Thursday, because I really have no idea how much kids eat, and things like that are so interesting to me. (And that makes me somewhat of a nerd I think.)
Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen says
I can never decide what ingredient to highlight either. No wonder my blog post titles get so wordy.
Elizabeth says
Can these be done with quick cooking oats?
Erin L says
We love these! But what could I sub for honey- Iām thinking some maple syrup? Thank you!

Brittany Dixon says
Yes, maple syrup or brown rice syrup should work, but you may need to play around with the amount. I would start with slightly less than the recommended amount of honey. Let me know!
Erin L says
I subbed maple syrup and added a bit more PB to make it stick better. It tasted delicious, but was a smidge more dry than the honey version. My daughter said she preferred the maple syrup one! šš½
Brittany Dixon says
Excellent! Thanks so much for the feedback š
Erin L says
These are delicious!! A family favorite š
