Expectedly, after the Move from Hell, I’m behind with all of my Carrots ‘N’ Cake-related tasks (blogging, freelance writing, emails, replying to comments, etc.), so I’m spending part of the day playing catch-up and the rest of the day organizing our apartment. I’m actually really looking forward to organizing theĀ disaster zone because it’s stressing me out!
Breakfast
My morning started with coffee and a walk with my hubby and Murphy. We grabbed coffee at P.S. Gourmet (I’m sort of obsessed with their Butter Cookie flavor!) and made a big batch of banana oats to share.
I topped my oats with almonds, ground flaxseed meal, and a scoop of chunky peanut butter.
After breakfast, we met our friends, Dave and Marie, and their dogs, Bella and Grady, at the dog park for some “puppy playtime.”
Murphy loved the park today! He wasn’t scared around the big dogs and was actually rather adventurous. He ran around, playing his little heart out, the entire time.
Lunch
This afternoon’s lunch was a simple salad topped with sliced almonds and a scoop of Claire’s relish. So good!
“Dessert” was a bowl of Cascadian Farms Cinnamon Crunch cereal, which tastes so much like Cimmoan Toast Crunch. I was actually sort of surprised by its deliciously cinnamon-y flavor. I ended up taking eating 2 bowls.
Afternoon Snack
I’m seriously struggling with my Health post this week (my brain is fried!), so my husband gave me a beer to get the creative juices flowing. I don’t usually drink on Sunday afternoons, but I’m not going to lie, it’s definitely helping! š
I love Jack’s Pumpkin Spice Ale. It’s my fall favorite! š
A Special Package
Guess who got a special package in the mail the other day?
Marisa from Trim the Fat sent Murphy some doggie goodies! Thanks, Marisa!
I’m spending the rest of the afternoon catching up with work while Mal (and Murphy) are building Ikea furniture. I hate spending a beautiful day inside, but sometimes, you gotta do what you need to do.
Hopefully, we can relax tonight! I have a yummy dinner planned!
See ya! š
