Happy Mother’s Day! I hope all you mothers–moms of humans, moms to be, or moms of furry ones– have a wonderful day. I love being a dog mom!
I’m so grateful for my wonderful mom who is endlessly supportive and loving. She’s also so funny. I love all the fun things she did for me as a kid like waking me up singing goofy songs, and writing notes on my lunches, even when I was in high school. She still sends me funny notes with pictures drawn on them. I love it. 🙂 I love you so much mom!Â
I also love this gem of a family photo my brother posted on Facebook earlier today.
Alright onto the Weekender! Here are the links I liked this week.Â
11 Reasons Your’e Not Losing Belly Fat
The most popular Trader Joe products of 2013. I need to try the Rosemary Marcona almonds (I LOVE marcona almonds and I had no idea TJ’s carried them), cocoa almond butter and the chili lime chicken burgers (hopefully they’re gluten-free!). I haven’t really liked TJ’s almond butter but I haven’t seen the salted version they feature in the article. I can attest the dark chocolate caramels are amazing; the ones with sea salt on them are even better. I want to try the chocolate covered orange sticks too; I love those as a kid when we’d get boxes at Christmas. There, I ruined the surprise by telling you about half of what’s on the list.

atYour Mother looks young, and fantastic (for having 6 kids!). By the way, did you end up getting any white jeans after?

I haven’t bought white jeans yet; I prioritized some other items for my May shopping budget. But I’m hoping to in June!
