I'm am so eager for spring and summer right now. I don't want to wish my year away... but I am in need of some greenery in my life! Luckily as I walk through my yard and look at my flower beds I'm seeing signs of spring. I've got tulips and crocus starting to grow. My columbine and Poppies are starting to peak out. Plus my helleborus is budding up and I can't wait for it to bloom!
At work in the greenhouse I love the thick, lush baby tears that cover the floor. It helps with my 'winter blues'.
Yesterday I had the morning off. I headed to Yoga at 8. It's the perfect way to start my day. I find that it helps calm my mind and body and I am able to manage my days better. Once I got home I made my favorite breakfast - Eggs in a basket with avocado. YUM!! Vacuumed and tidied the house some. Did the dishes and put dinner in the crock pot. Mitch and I fell in love with a recipe I found on Pinterest - Slow Cooker Cilantro Lime Chicken . It's amazing!!! We've made it twice already and the second time was even better. My two favorite herbs have to be Basil and Cilantro. So when I made it the second time I couldn't resist adding EXTRA cilantro :) Plus I set some aside to add on top when serving. I also had some fresh corn I froze last summer and thought it would be a great addition... which it was! I also made smoothies for lunch. Left one for Mitch in the fridge with a love note on it. I will definitely have to fresh double the amount of raspberries I did this year. {25 cups was definitely not enough}.
Since it was Friday we made it a fabulous date night. We headed to Costco to pick up a Ninja blender. HOORAY! My little blender just wasn't cutting it for making smoothies anymore. I can't wait to smoothie it up at our house. I'm especially in love with green smoothies lately. {any good recipes?? send them my way please}. Then we headed to the gym to get our cardio on. I can jog almost 2 miles straight now. I feel accomplished. And then did some weights. Dinner was ready when we got home. It was delicious. {You seriously need to click the recipe link above and make it this coming week!} And for the most exciting news of the whole month.... KISSING is back one. Holla!! Since Mitch seems to finally be fighting mono, he gave in to kissing me :) I'm in heaven. Best Friday night in the last month for sure!!
Now if only I was able to take a super long nap today.... Maybe I'll be in luck tomorrow - Sunday.
