Paint colors!

Maritime Blue!

Seriously. I have issues when it comes to paint and colors. I love so many! I've been waiting to paint the toilet room in my bathroom for two years because I simply couldn't decide on a color. I finally picked one last weekened. Maritime blue by Benny Moore. I love it but.....Wait for it....I'm not sure I love it in that room. I think it's just too bright and when I look at it in there I think of the little Mexican Indian statue thing I bought from home interiors in 1990....Sigh.... So. I am just finishing with this color as its almost done and I will continue my search. Here are some colors I love. And then I love the white room too. Honestly!

tml designs!

Here are some pictures of my own designs.

Fancy Free Friday!

I've named Fridays Fancy Free. Friday is always my free day as far as food goes and I really just love Fridays. Today, I'm going to be very fancy and buy some Aveda products for myself! I've bought the girls their Valentines gifts. Kate is getting Hunter rain boots and Lauren is getting a box of fun things, her expensive gift is a sports bra from the Bikram studio. I know that doesn't sound very fancy or fun but when you're a hot yoga person, a new clean, cute bra is very fancy and they're not cheap! I also put a bunch of fun items in her box. Wrapsody had some really cute things on their Valentine table. Not sure what I'm getting the boys yet. Jack will be easy as I'll get him a new golf shirt and golfing accessories but Joe is a little harder.

Another Hadley designs I love!

Clean Eating

It's been over a month since football was over at least for me. I don't do NFL so I really don't care about the Superbowl. I do however enjoy college football, SEC and Hoover football. And, I'm gonna tell ya that I don't always eat clean during this time. So after Christmas and the new year and January 7th, I went back to clean eating and I've even played around with some Paleo recipes. I'm not a huge Paleo person but I get it. I like good dark chocolate basically because I'v acquried a taste for it. I love coconut oil, unrefined organic coconut oil, I like almond butter and I like all those things mixed together! I've even introduced the "peanut butter cup " treat to the boys and Rick and they loved it! I think I mentioned in an earlier post that I received a juicer for Christmas. I love it!!! My favorite cocktail is cucumber (unwaxed), lemon and strawberries. Its so good and hydrating. And I've seen blurbs about allkaline and such which is good for our bodies and inflammation. I haven't had time to research that. Here is one of my most favorite breakfasts ever! Even Joe loved it and that child won't eat much beyond chicken fingers and pizza....

This was originally a Zone diet recipe but I've changed it over the years.
.25c low fat cottage cheese
.25c organic oat flour
1 organic egg (whole egg) you need the goods that are in the yolk!
a dash of honey or stevia

Mix it up, put a tsp or 2 of coconut oil on your grilled and dish out the mix. Make them just like pancakes! They're so good. Maybe I've just made myself love them over the years but I prefer these to regular panny cakes. I like to top mine off with a little bit of brown sugar, crushed almonds, a little butter and a couple tsps of maple syrup. You can do whatever you want.

My guess is this breakfast is about 17 grams of fat, and 300 calories 21 carbs and 4 g of fiber.
