Getting Back in the Groove

Everybody is starting to get back on schedule, the kids are still having a bit of a hard time going back to their normal nap times, but for the most part we are there.  More than being happy that kids are getting back on schedule, I'm really excited about food for this week.  I spent a lot of time yesterday making up a meal plan, and Im so excited.  We are going to be trying some new green smoothies, and i have some awesome dinners planned.  I dont think i can say how much i love food.  I also find it so so so fun to try and cook clean and allergy free for my family, and see what crazy things i can put together, without feeling like we are sacrificing on flavor.  Love.  Also, I'm so excited because David reasoned with Mr. Budget (Mr. Budget is very strict in our family) and i think we might be getting a new blender!  Our last large blender pooped out a couple weeks ago, and although we have a magic bullet, its great for protein shakes and really liquidy foods, it just doesnt do the trick with green smoothies.  I honestly dont like green smoothies.  If they are too thick or taste to gritty and chunky i cant get it past my gag reflex, even if the flavor is good.  So getting a new blender means well blended smoothies, which makes for a happier me.  So many fun things this week.  I'll let you know which blender we finally settle on, yay!  So excited (now i know im getting old because buying a blender is something i look forward to).
