dinner for two & other things

 

last night i made one of our favorite dishes.

we had fresh veggies from the farmers market & 

the weather was perfect for dining on our back porch.

we found out at the last minute the middle two wouldn't be able to eat with us.

(caroline was at dance)

dan & i sat down outside. alone. in the quiet.

& he says.... you know this will be us in 7 years.

had it of been a different week in the month, if you know what i mean,

i would have proceeded to bust out in tears.

 

~chip crusted fish fillets~

4 cod fillets or other firm white fish ( i use tilapia)

 2 tsp canola mayo

salt

2 oz salt & vinegar kettle style chips, crushed

light ranch

arrange fillets on parchment paper. brush mayo atop each piece & sprinkle with salt.

gently press in about 2 Tbl crushed chips on top of each

bake at 400 x 10 min or until fish flakes easily with fork.

serve with ranch dressing.

 

brinkley appears to be back to 100%.

i'm guessing he had a really bad stomach virus

that wreaked havoc on his intestines?

we ran a couple miles the other day & he did wonderfully.

thank you all for asking about him & praying for him.

i was completely a wreck worrying about him.

 madi has new neon pink shorts. they're way too cute.

 

& pink shoes. which reminds me of a story.

that child was completely out of whack at target a few weeks ago

when after saving up her cold hard cash for the above beauties

found that target had released a large amount of "knockoff" styles.

which is otherwise wonderful

unless you bought the real thing! 

she was in quite a fluster. it was actually pretty funny.

 

speaking of pink...you can find these awesome wrap bracelets at 

The Pink Chair

you can find their info here

donna can get you all hooked up. i have a grey one too that i love.

 

i finished book one of the Hunger Games trilogy & am soon to dive in to book two.

spoiler alert,rumor has it book three is a bit of a disappointment

compared to the first two so the jury's still out on whether i'll go that far.

i usually formulate in my head what the characters look like

but since there's a movie, i had madi phototext me this image

so i won't be all confused when i finally see it.

(probably on dvd. in july.)

 

we have a noonday page just for the ambassadors & lately we've all been sharing images

of us wearing some of our pieces

so i figured i'd share with ya'll too.

i realize this is only one step above the forbidden overused "selfie" shots i was warned about

but whatever.

i'm currently editing shots of the photoshoot i did of savannah & her

sorority sisters in noonday. hopefully will share later this week.

we guarantee mother's day delivery if you order by may 1.

in the above shot i'm wearing the kampala with love necklace

layered with the funky paper bead necklace.

packaged pretty earrings

& the embira seed bracelet.

below is the tagua seed bracelet in emerald sky

the embroidered belt

minted necklace

tagua seed bracelet in seagreen 

leather bangles

& organic lace earrings

all found here.

i clearly violated the "always remove one accessory before you walk out the door" rule

but with my noonday, i can't resist.

 

while the living room was temporarily a dance studio for caroline

while we were in transition

she still does many practice numbers

& stretches randomly in here while i work.

& apparently, war eagle.

( i'm kidding Georgia friends)

 

speaking of Georgia. savannah is only a couple weeks from being done with finals.

as cliche as it sounds , i can't believe she's almost done with her freshman year!

she came in friday to head over to the Braves home opener with Dan.

such a good time those two have together.

we have a parents information meeting tonight at the middle school caroline

will attend in the fall. 

middle school.

seriously?

which is exactly why dan made the "in 7 years" comment...

sigh
