My four year old daughter LOVES her dolls. They are the sisters she never had (and never will have, much to her dismay). The accessories are slowly taking over our house, soon these girls will need a house of their own!
Over the past year she has acquired the camper and tent, among many other things, but if her dolls go on a camping adventure there is no where for the both of them to sleep. What fun is that? They are also out of luck if my daughter wants to have a sleepover in the playroom, unless we drag the sturdy homemade wooden bunk beds out there. It was decided that these dolls needed their own sleeping bags!

I used to have this awful late night snacking habit. I would HAVE to eat something after the kids went to bed, but before I did. And it was never healthy. I'd save the sinful, delicious, crap I didn't want my kids to eat, and I'd devour it. If I didn't want them eating it, why was I letting myself eat it?! Million dollar question right there. To be completely honest, as my lifestyle has evolved the late night snacking habit hasn't completely disappeared. I have definitely toned it down and swapped out for healthier choices though. Roasted chickpeas instead of potato chips. Veggies & hummus instead of pretzels & cheese. Dark chocolate & almonds instead of cookies. But ice cream has always been my downfall. Going vegan 2 years ago helped curb my ice cream consumption. Non-dairy ice cream is expensive! Those cravings still sneak up from time to time though. Like tonight. That voice in my head was saying "Text the husband, tell him to bring home Ben & Jerry's" But thankfully that other voice deep down started speaking up. "Remember your goals." "You're just looking to mindlessly snack." "Do you want to feel comfortable in your own body, or wake up with a sugar hangover?" Yup. Not worth it right now, especially coming off a weekend out of town where I ate a little more junk than usual, which is probably why I had ice cream on the brain in the first place! So I made the smart choice and made my own "nice cream" in the form of a smoothie bowl! This is so good it is worth the risk of running the blender after the kids are asleep. It satisfies my ice cream craving, squashes my sugar addiction, and is packed with protein and superfoods. My current favorite is "Banana Split" but you can play around with the fruits and flavors to find your own favorite combo. I highly recommend trying peanut butter to make it like a frozen peanut butter cup. Superfood Smoothie Bowl
Enjoy and pat yourself on the back for choosing a snack that is going to help your body, not harm it. |
