a bloody finger, a good recipe, a cute banner, and 30

When Adam woke me up this morning I was out, and I mean out. I actually fell right back asleep (which I never do) until he woke me up again 5 minutes later. In a groggy haze I got up and proceeded to walk into a wall, then I made my way downstairs, said "good morning" to B, and went to open the fridge to grab her juice box to put in her lunch. Well, again, in my groggy state I slammed my finger into the shelf of the fridge, slicing my finger and blood proceeded to pour out and drip on the floor. Good morning to me! (I'm thinking the day has no where to go but up?)

Last night I tried another new recipe (I'm on a roll!) and it was another winner, so if you want to try something simple that is super tasty, try this (I left out the red pepper).

I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again, but its true, I have amazing friends, I'm super blessed to have them. The other day I came home to an envelope on my table and this is what was inside:



How cute is this banner?! My friend Maris made it for B's room and I'm kinda in love with it~ thank you, sweet friend!!!

Lastly for the randomness of the day... although I don't really do birthday shout outs any more, 30 is a big deal and today Meredith turns 30. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MER!! Enjoy every second of your special day and know that lots of love from Texas is being sent your way!! Happy Thursday, all! xo
