sweatshirt is sold out in this color (highly recommend in an in stock color because it’s amazing,) sweats are fully stocked, and this gap sweatsuit I have in other colors is borderline identical.
This week was for all the cozy things as I dealt with staggered colds with the littles and a busy work week for myself. Praise God for happy sweats. Be sure to click “veiw more” at the end of this post if you’re viewing it in your email inbox for the links to the MVP’s.

finally got to the hair appointment my roots and ends have been craving for four months. whipping out all the happy colors is my strategy for success which you read about here. sweater is sold out sezane. jeans. boots. hair smock is on the house.
I had exactly fifteen minutes to be dressed and on the road to meet a friend for dinner so white on white on cream it was. shoes and knit are ancient, jeans are a current good american favorite, shirt is equipment
this isn’t an outfit but my hair is on my body so i’ll let it slide. I always arrive to my hair appointment with bone straight hair, get it cut, get it colored and leave with it sopping wet so I don’t actually style it until all my kids are in bed and every time, I send a photo of the finished product to my sister. this was that photo. It felt like a dream to not see five inches of roots for the first time in weeks. I’ve been using a few new products for the past month and have noticed the biggest difference in the shine and strength of my hair—I’ll link them at the bottom of this post.
my milk supply always takes a ton of effort and attention at the 6/7 month mark and keeping my supply up has become a full time job lately. making some recipe mashup of lactation cookie without the brewers yeast was the game changer last week, even though oats aren’t the best for my thyroid. It’s a give and take. I’m also not currently eating sugar so hu chocolate chips for the win.
I used premade gluten free pizza dough to make beef empanadas for the kids and they were absolutely obsessed. the big kids instantly packed the leftovers for lunch the next day and gobbled every last bit up—highly recommend.
this paleo turkey meatball recipe took longer than I anticipated with the browning phase (I doubled it) but my goodness, it was incredible. I served it over rice from earlier in the week for the kids and ate them alone for myself…10/10.
if you’re a simple mills pancake lover because of gluten and dairy restrictions—can I suggest the bob’s red mill gluten free pancake mix? It makes at least double for less than the price of one box of simple mills and while it’s not paleo, it is fairly clean. blueberry pancakes for sunday morning breakfast have been a whole lot quicker lately.
met a friend for dinner at true food—a date that was initially in december and was moved three times due to different kid germs. can any other mom relate? the kale salad with a korean noodle bowl is my forever favorite.
sweetgreen is the eternal love of my life but is a solid 50 minutes from me which means I only get it on days when I’m in Dallas proper. Thank the Lord my hair salon is strategically downtown or else I’d never get to enjoy my beloved.
this lunch is still going strong. I eat two turkey burger patties at a time which makes the four pack quite expensive, but it’s work it to buy every few weeks if it means lunch is as simple as tossing green beans in the air fryer and cooking these patties for less than ten minutes.
my paleo protein mug cake has been a simple joy this week. It’s not a perfect science since mine pretty much never rises and I can’t recommend a recipe because I haven’t perfected it. but the christmas mug I painted years ago makes me happy and I look forward to the barely sweet treat to get me by.
Meatballs on point 😆 bookmarking that recipe!
We miss your Etsy shop! That mug is adorable
