It's a, wear a cheerio on your head, day

This weekend we celebrated my mom's birthday.  The girls had so much fun making cards for her.  I had to run into the grocery store for some bandaids and since I had the girls with me I popped Nora into the pull cart, the two older girls had the mini shopping carts and I really felt like the mother duck with three little ducklings following me:)  

 Our power was out on Thursday so I took the girls to The Old Spaghetti Factory.  We had so much fun and they behaved themselves beautifully!  

 Bummer that I caught my mom with her eyes closed but this is us at the healthy living and retirement show. We had a booth for ASEA and I had so much fun!  My mom loved these shoes that you can run and bounce in and paired with the walking stick make for the perfect exercise, bought me a really cool exercise tool that I'll have to post photos of sometime.

 I forgot to take photos of these salads at the beginning but boy, where they good!  I thought this recipe was from the blog I mentioned below but I couldn't find it.  Just ask me for the recipe if you'd like it.  It has four cups of spinach and one whole bunch of cilantro, wow it's my new favorite salad!

These next two recipes are from this blog Heather's Dish I love the fresh taste of this potato salad.  

 This recipe is for brussel sprouts which aren't in season so I used asparagus and carrots instead, so yummy!

 For dessert I made banana muffins with a maple cinnamon cream cheese icing.  These totally reminded me of cinnamon buns:)  I can't remember where I got the icing recipe but it a regular cream cheese icing but you add 2 Tbsp Real maple syrup, 2 Tbsp Cinnamon, and between 1-3 Tbsp buttermilk depending on how you'd like to use it.  I used 1 Tbsp so I could spread it thickly on my muffins:)

 Nora was having fun eating her organic cheerios and I couldn't help but laugh when I turned around to see this:)  Things I'd like to do soon, made soup and homemade buns, get some dark mint Lindt chocolate (my stash is gone:)  and clean and organize some things in my house.  Have a happy day!
