Break out the Neosporin

I can't remember the last time I had a skinned knee, so I guess I had it coming. Here's the visual: A tiny patch of ice right in front of the office where I work...I was carrying a stack of papers in one hand and a yogurt in the other, I was wearing a skirt, and there were two guys walking up the sidewalk who saw everything. (and of course they came to ask me if I was okay at which point I wanted the earth to crack open so I could crawl in it) It made for a great way to start the day!

Etsy

Ever since I read Charity's Etsy post I have been wanting to peruse around Etsy and see what some of my favorite sellers are creating. Here are a few goodies:

Some cards from the Frantic Meerkat:

Original Jewelry from BirdsNBeez:

Funky Finds from Cocoandmilkweed:

And traditional nose warmers from Flyingfly:

Move Over Paula Deen

So, this week school pretty much demanded my undivided attention and I have let everything else fall to the wayside. Thank goodness for a subway card, a patient husband, and the fact that my kids are pretty low maintenance. Well, tonight I decided to redeem myself by making dinner--and let me just say it was delicious! We started with a green salad topped with carrots and bell peppers, and then homemade BBQ "chicken" pizza. Maybe it was because we were both starving, or maybe it was because Sweet Baby Ray's barbeque sauce is like mother's milk--whatever the reason the pizza was amazing and we shared a moment of content silence after we had licked our plates clean. Nate had to go to a meeting so that gives me time to whip a little something up for dessert. (Apple compote drizzled over vanilla icecream--so much for winning the biggest loser contest at work.)

Taco Town

I love their faces 30 seconds in!
I alway have about 5 different cravings after I watch this.
