Sensory bins and summits

Can you guess what I made for dinner based on this photo alone??

Obviously Kyle was out of town because of the cucumbers 😛

I’m so glad that tomatoes are making their way into our grocery cart again. Of course, by July we will likely have them coming out of our ears, but for now they are a novelty as the weather (finally) warms up.

There was actually supposed to be MORE rain forecasted for this week, but lucky for us it was all wrong and it’s been sunny. A little windy, but beggars can’t be choosers. It even made it into the 70s one day!!

This is the main reason my blog has been a touch neglected. I am soaking up alllll the outside time with my babes.

Also I have been fully immersed in my fit4mom duties, which is giving me so much joy.

I made this sensory bin for a kids craft after strides and they all loved it so much I decided to set it up in the water table once I brought it back home. I never thought the older ones would be as into it, but boy was I wrong. It was a HUGE hit. I’ll be doing a lot more sensory bins going forward…

Our coaching team went to a Summit last weekend, which was super fun and informative. We got to meet with a bunch of the other Nor Cal fit4mom franchises and chat about the mission of the brand and all the ways to improve how we reach moms. Plus, it was a blast to hang with my girlfriends…because let’s be real, that’s the main reason I wanted to become a coach anyway. This team is truly a dream to be a part of.

The only food photo I have from the weekend was from our Saturday night out at Zocalo. I got the salmon BOL, which had rice, sweet potatoes, pickled cabbage, baby kale, roasted carrots, and cilantro. The green sauce on top was a little spicy but otherwise it was GOOOOOD. I also stole a taco from another girl who was done with her plate. We arrived super late (because we went to an escape room beforehand) so I was starving. Hence, polishing off someone else’s food before placing my own order. 😛

That said, being in a conference room all weekend really makes you want to be outdoors as soon as possible, so that’s where I spent most of Sunday once I got back home. With my people. Hooray for shorts weather!!!

I finished off the Mary’s Gone seaweed crackers and opened up another kind of cracker. I found these Simple Mills ones at Grocery Outlet for SO CHEAP and went for it.

And for the record, I’d never heard of Grocery Outlet before, but guys, it is ONE HECK OF A HIDDEN GEM. And every single person I’ have told this to since has had the same OMG moment as well, but somehow never let me in on this secret! We even have a store in Davis! Like WHAT?! How is this so unknown, but also so known. Is it an underground thing?? Am I ruining it by blogging about it? Anyway. I’ve been back once more since and I’m still wrapping my head around it. Pretty sure it’s just crazy discounted because all the stuff is about to expire, so while I do feel bad for buying things in packages (sometimes with plastic), I’m consoling myself with the fact that it would probably get thrown away anyway, so the waste will happen either way, I might as well consume the food.

Moving on.
