Mamma & Baby Yoga
Harper has been doing her yoga moves for months...I can only assume she learned her moves from me...pretty much right after she was born I would do yoga stretches while we were in the playroom hanging out, I guess she was watching me more then I knew! Chris captured a few shots of us tonight!
Chocolate Protein Granola
This one is for my sister...actually, she is the one that turned me onto the blog I found this recipe on, Peanut Butter Fingers. The recipe is for Chocolate Protein Granola...I liked the sound and look of it right away, but I was even more pleased when I had all the ingredients to make it already at my house, score!! I was able to whip it up this morning while I fed Harper breakfast! And let me tell you, it smelled like brownies when it was cooking in the oven! I threw it in some plain yogurt with dried cherries and a drizzle of honey and it was super yum!!! It was good just by itself but I am also tempted to buy a little vanilla icecream so I can sprinkle the granola on top!!! You should give it a try!

I think I remember how to do this?!?!
Back in November my old boss emailed me to ask me if I was interested in working again?? I wasn't completely caught off guard because before I left my job I told her to keep me in mind down the road if anything was to come up and I have kept a good relationship with her. Anyway...the girl who took part of my job is pregnant and due in about a month, they approached me to see if I wanted to do a portion of her job while she is out on maternity leave for 6-8 weeks. I really didn't have to think too hard about it...I said "YES" as long as I can do the work from home, which they agreed to. I went in this week to sign paperwork assuming I would be starting in about a month when I got an email the next day asking if I could start right away...another Property Manager needed some help...so guess who is back to work!! I have to admit, I am excited to get back to the adult working world...don't get me wrong, being a Stay-At-Home-Mom is the best gig in the world but it's nice to know my brain still works and that I can have an identity outside of being Harper's Mommy and Chris's wife! I am going to have to adjust to fitting work into my day when my main priority is Harper but I am up for the challenge. Wish my luck!
