The Little Things

Happy Friday to you!

Life really is about the little things.  We all have little things that make us happy.  Here are a few of those things from my week =)



This week we have been doing a lot of sitting out on the our back deck each night, or in our garage on the rainy nights, with the dogs just relaxing.  We watch the rain from the garage and Lincoln has no fear running into the rain to get is ball countless times.  Jax much prefers chilling at our feet.  Spending time like this with my family is so nice and I've really enjoyed doing this each night.

I love looking at our greens!  I'm worried the rain has been too intense for them in the last 24 hours because it's just been so much, but I hope they come out strong.  I just think they are so fantastic to look at.
 
My husband made this awesome salad dressing this week which is crazy simply, but it tastes SO SO good.  He mixed regular Italian dressing, vegenaise, and vegan parmesan cheese together for a creamy wonderful dressing to go on our salads along side burgers.  I know it's not the healthiest dressing, but it's fantastic and delicious.

Late night bowls of cereal.  For some reason, cereal after 8pm just tastes glorious.  It's been my go to snack lately.  We accidentally bought the plain almond milk rather than vanilla and it's surprising really good.  Don't know what I was thinking that I needed the vanilla flavor all this time. 
 
I love bagels.  I go through phases with bagels.  I'll eat a few and then not have another bagel for months.  This week I've had two bagels topped with melted peanut butter and I'm now remembering why I love them so much.  Work provided them and I'm so thankful.
 


 
Tried a new flavor of ice cream last night.  It was amazing.  Really enough said.  It's a must have!
 
And lastly, look how nicely my pups were eating dinner together.  That's the first time I've seen that happen!
 
 
  
So those are a few little things from my week.  Tell me something about yours!  This weekend will hopefully be full of sun and Sunday filled with Father's Day celebrating. 
 
What are you up to this weekend?

  3. Sounds like a wonderful week! I got to de-stress with my family yesterday afternoon and then got a great feeling run in after that, so those had to be my favorites from this week :)

  4. I exclusively buy the unflavored, unsweetened almond milk. I use it in pretty much everything, so when I accidentally buy vanilla, I end up with vanilla flavored vegan cheese sauce (that was a really bad day!)

    1. Yikes! The vanilla is good in baking though, but cheese sauce not so much haha!

  5. If I could borrow your puppies for a run I would totally do it! I love that Kashi cereal (I think that's what it is) I can't buy it because my nighttime snacks turn into big meals lol.

    This weekend I'm going to two baseball games cause my man's cubbies are in town. Other than that I will be relaxing!
