We had an amazing day yesterday. Sophia, Isabella, McKenzie and McKayla were all angels. I truly enjoy being with each and every one of them. Yesterday morning we all ventured out to dance, which was a lot of fun. I love watching Sophia’s face light up when she gets there, she loves to dance. We loveย ballet day!! Isabella can’t wait until she is old enough to dance too. I told her next year her and Sophia will be in ballet together, she was so excited. Sophia and Isabella played amazingly well together. I love listening to them giggle and talk. They are becoming the best of friends. McKenzie and McKayla took nice long naps and when they were awake they were happy. The day was not perfect, but it was MY perfect day.
As us girls (Steve worked late) sat down for dinner I couldn’t help but think, “This is what life is all about, this is wonderful”. This right here is true love and happiness. God is good!!
It is Wednesday again, so that means it is time to talk about food.
When I was making breakfast I decided I wasn’t going to simply snack when hungry I was going to make a mini meal. So it was a mini meals kind of day.
Breakfast – 8:00
This morning we decided to have oatmeal protein pancakes. They were delicious. I had enough smarts to make two batches so I saved one for another time. It is not difficult to make, but with twins you never know when you will have time to make it again. Now I will have a healthy meal all ready to go.
Lunch – 11:00
Once we got home from dance I was starving. So, I quickly ate a turkey wrap with hummus and cheese.
Lunch # 2 – 12:00
I finally had a chance to make the lunch I really wanted, a poached egg on my favorite Italian bread. My dad’s family lives in Niagara Falls, NY and there is a wonderful bakery that has the most delicious bread, donuts and pastries. My parents were just there this past weekend for my grandpa’s birthday and they brought back bread. This afternoon I enjoyed an egg with two pieces of this delicious bread.
Snack – 12:30
I was in the mood for something chocolate so I ate half a luna bar.
Lunch # 3 – 2:00
An afternoon mini meal of peanut butter and jelly on FlatOut bread with a bowl of fruit.
Dinner # 1 – 4:00
I was hungry again, but I didn’t want to mindlessly munch so I decided to make Greek yogurt waffles. They really hit the spot and held me over until dinner.
Dinner # 2 – 6:00
As most of you know my neighbors have been making us dinner twice a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, last night we had white chicken chili. It was delicious. The flavors are fantastic.
Dessert – 7:30
I made a single serve microwave chocolate cake. I haven’t had one in awhile so it really hit the spot.
This was a hungry day for me. I am not sure why but I just never felt full. But, I was able to satisfy my hunger with mini meals throughout the day. I feel so much better when I don’t mindlessly munch.

Yay for good days! They make the bad days seem not so bad. Yesterday we had a sort of rough day, especially at night. Brooklyn fought sleep allll day long and would only nap laying on someone (aka: me), and she was awake at night from like 11-1 just fussing. Today is SO much better. Both girls are sleeping like angels and are so happy when they’re awake. I”ll take it!!!
Yes, good days make up for every bad moment!! Live feels amazing on those days. ๐
It is so tough when they will only nap on you. As much as I love snuggling my girls, it is exhausting and difficult to never have a free moment. I am glad you had a better day. ๐ I am with you I will take any good moment!!
Love good days! We had a great day yesterday, too! I had to do some shopping, going to a few stores and Keenan was a trooper, not whining or complaining. He was truly my little shopper helper and once we got home, he took a long nap and was even happier when he woke up!
Oh your day sounds perfect!! They truly make motherhood amazing. ๐
I think this sounds like one of your best, most delicious days in awhile ๐ Not that what you eat isn’t always delicious, but it’s awesome to hear that you felt satisfied with all of your choices. Nothing better food-wise!
The fresh bakery bread sounds amazing, as does that chili. Great meals!
Thank you!! I loved my day of food, it was one of my favorite days. ๐
