Target snack

 sweater: old navy   jeggings: walmart    scarf: kiklaru   boots: dsw

Please ignore my tired, exaggerated smile and an attempt at a top bun.  It was Sunday morning before church and despite no showering I was dressed and we were on time, so I'm counting it as a win.  


If' you've never tried Target's trail mix, you are missing out on yet another reason to love shopping there.  I don't buy it often because it's kind of expensive plus even though it has peanuts and raisins I have a hard time justifying that it is a healthy option.  Mostly because eating half the bag is so far from a real servings worth.  

But every time my sister comes to visit, we go to Target (at least once) and she's buys some "Target snack" for us to share.  It's pretty much all the fun ingredients to add when you make Monster cookies, which are one of my favorite kind of cookies. 
While making it on my own means it comes without my sister and a trip to Target, it still makes me happy and comes much cheaper.  This makes a huge amount so I've made half of it before and still had more than enough to eat far too quickly.  

Monster Mix:

2 bags dark chocolate M&M's
I box raisins
2 cans peanuts party or cocktail mix
2 bags dark chocolate baking chips
2 bags peanut butter baking chips


Unfortunately I lack serious self control with snacks like this, especially when I'm home all the time.   Forget what I said before.  Peanuts. healthy.  Raisins.  healthy.

No Sweets January

scarf: kiki la ru   jeans: kohls   sweater & boots: old navy

It's no secret that I have a major sweet tooth and I've mentioned before that I needed to do something about it as I think about eating desserts and want to eat them all day long.  I decided that I would do my very best to not eat any during the month of January and am extremely proud of myself for being successful so far. 

I should say that I am not cutting out any sugar, but more so desserts.  Which is why I've made banana bread a few times and donuts twice this month.  Breakfast foods.  Not dessert right? Baby steps here. 

I even have a box of Mike and Ike's sitting on my counter that my mother in law brought me on one of the many days we were stuck and home.  Still unopened.  Now that is restraint.  


Addilyn ironically starting sleeping even worse than before since New Years, which is when I stopped eating desserts. Which makes me believe she is having some sort of sugar withdrawal and although I know that can't be true I think maybe it is.  

Love your sleep and sweet deprived friend,
