Hat Is Matte Black

(If you didn’t get that, my title is an Old Town Road reference!) Have you noticed the matte filter I’ve been using a lot? I’m mildly obsessed 🙂 It makes photos look so moody! And corrects bad lighting so well.

this !

Happy FRI-YAY!

Starting the day off with a Daily Harvest smoothie in a bowl with granola on top. This was the carrot + chia flavor and I loved it! My top flavors are Acai + Cherry, Blueberry + Hemp and Carrot + Chia.

I had the leftovers the next day from a jar plus nibbles of the kids’ breakfasts. You know how that goes 😉

Movin’ and Groovin’

Birchie boo has been all over the house climbing up on things (and bonking his little head on things 🙁 ) Suddenly he’s such a curious little boy. It must be fun to finally be able to explore. And of course it’s the cutest thing ever when he comes crawling to my feet and looks up at me. If I say “uppy” he will raise his arms so I can pick him up <3


Fresh Italian Cooking

Alex Caspero wrote the cookbook Fresh Italian Cooking For The New Generation back in 2016 and sent me a copy. I was reading through it last week and made one of her kale salads. (I swapped orzo out and farro in since that’s what I had on hand, and added a bunch of lemon zest!)

Plus a generous sprinkle of this salt I found at Feast!

It was great for lunch and a side dish multiple days in a row!

Italian Chicken From Plenty

Italy was the theme of the week! We had this dinner ready in a flash from Plenty and everyone loved it, Mazen included.

Bachelorette Talk

First, this coconut cream pie in a jar from Plenty was OOTW! It was a treat to eat while watching Hannah get fired up at Luke. I don’t want to spoil the episode here in the post, so let’s talk the chat to the comments. WHAT DID YOU THINK?! It’s rare that I’m animated while watching TV, but I was gasping and cheering from the couch! This has been my favorite season so far, and I am now a big Hannah fan. Cannot wait to see what happens next! Also: Peter for Bachelor.

Have a great weekend! My sister and fam are coming to spend it with us!

    Yes, Peter for Bachelor. She will not pick him. This isn’t my favourite season, but I’m loving that Hannah actually stands up for herself and that she is very direct with the guys. I think she’ll pick Jed.

      I think she will too because of her words + body language. But I hope it ends well…

    I still can’t believe she kept Luke for this long. I like Peter but i love Tyler. I hope one of them are the next Bachelor. I’m guessing it’s Jed that she picks. She just seems so into him. I’m still questioning how much Jed is actually into her though…..Good season overall!

    I really like the black filter, how do you use it, is it in Lightroom/Photoshop etc?

      Yes it’s just the matte filter in Lightroom.

    I have NO idea how she kept it so together throughout the season with Luke. I would have completely lost it early on. The man wouldn’t even get up and leave when she asked! I’m so, so ready for the Men Tell All. Bring. It. On.

    Also, I think my favorite tweet coming out of this week’s Bachelorette was Hannah’s “To the windmill, to the wall…”

    Mike for Bachelor! His smile is so cute b/c his eyes get all squinty 🙂 haha

    I don’t think she is with any of the guys now from her season, though.

    Yes, Peter for Bachelor!! He’s been my favorite since the first episode. Tyler or Mike are 2 other good choices. I hope ABC doesn’t mess it up with a bad choice! I agree with you that this has been the best season I’ve watched. Go Hannah!! Hope she has a happy ending even if it’s not from this show…

    Peter for Bachelor, 100%! I don’t really get the chemistry between Hannah and Jed, especially after he brought up Luke on their date. And Luke made such a fool of himself when he wouldn’t leave!
