Random thoughts going through my head:
Do you think that someone actually counted out a thousand seeds in this recipe? At what point did they get interrupted by a 3 year old and lose count? My guess is 33. Do you think it’s a thousand seeds per muffin or per batch? If I walked over to the mirror right now, how many seeds would be stuck in my front teeth? Who would be the first person to tell me about that poppy seed stuck near my canine? Why is the term muffin top so good yet so frightening? Why can I not resist a bread product covered in seeds?
Do you think there’s a thousand specks of glitter in my nail polish? I put on three coats…
Pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, poppy seeds and sesame seeds make up that seeded muffin top. I told you they were seedy! They’re super healthy (almost NO oil!) and packed with a fun ingredients including yogurt, bananas, whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed, whipped eggs whites and pureed dates! If you’re planning on eating one before you leave the house, check your grill in the mirror! It’s totally seed central.

This year I decided to doing something a little different; I’m making personalized journals from Minted!
When I was at Alt last week, I spied these cute/custom journals at the Minted booth. Top-notch paper & print quality, customization options, with a fantastic assortment of designs? COUNT ME IN!
A few days ago, I made six personalized journals yesterday for a few of my friends & family. Each journal contains 40 pages of lined/unlined paper. I made the executive decision and chose lined paper for each journal and I customized each one of them with a few personal touches. Here’s what my journals will look like:
This is a journal for my Valentine. That’s me & Casey. Although I think I’ll be the one using this notebook 😉
(that’s me & my friend Jenny at the Alt Summit! Thank you Smilebooth! I’m kind of obsessed with you!)

What if I was to tell you that you can easily make chocolate milk that tastes like a frothy chocolate malt without using malt or dairy?
Well, YOU CAN. You can make delicious chocolate milk with your blender!
So this is raw chocolate milk. What makes it raw? So glad you asked! It’s made with cashews that have been soaked in water! There’s also cocoa nibs up in this mix which makes things extra fancy in my book. Looking to make plain vanilla cashew milk? Just omit the cocoa nibs and reduce the agave syrup. This recipe is a game changer & approved by my picky 3 year old. Winning!
The nice thing about going on a Disney Cruise is that with the help of on board activities & camps for kids, you’re able to sneak in some adult time! The camp that Cooper went to ran from 9am-midnight with open drop-in hours. During nap time and at night, Casey and I traded Cooper duty so we could both be apart of some memorable ADULT TIME activities.
So in those brief moments of adult time, this is what happened:
