My Favorite Sensational Sunday Christmas Pictures

It’s Christmas! I had the best day ever! Yeah, yeah I ate too much but whatever. I’m not here to whine and cry about it. I’m here to share some photos of my fabulous day. I was too absorbed to do a play-by-play so here are my favorites.

That was actually from Christmas Eve, but I had to share. Everyone’s looking!

The Husband and his Flex Seal. It’s sort of an inside joke. I HAD to buy it for him.

Someone had quite a day. I just love his expression in this.

Someone else REALLY liked shells. He ate all the broken ones!

Side note: For more Little Bean Christmas pictures click here. I posted them on Baby’s First Year.

It was so warm (for December) we went to the park!

My favorite gift. A Mother’s necklace with both boy’s birthstones.

And finally, this year’s ornament. If you’ve been reading for some time, you may know of our ornament tradition. The Husband gets one that represents our year together every Christmas. Click here to read the story and see all 17. Yes that’s how long we’ve been together. We’re OLD! ;)

That’s all I have. I may not post for the next few days. Much family time to be had. I’ll be back Wednesday with my food journal. I plan on picking up my tracker right where I left off.

I hope you are having an awesome holiday!

What are Your Favorite Grab-and-Go Snacks?

I’ve been trying to gain a little control over my snacking habits lately. Feeling uninspired and unmotivated has resulted in grabbing all of the husband’s junky treats.

So I gave myself a good talking to and Laura brought up a great idea in the comments…

Hey Roni… your example grocery lists are some of my favorite things (like the Trader Joe’s one). Would it be possible for you to maybe give us a quick rundown of a few quick-grab-and-go snacks that you pick up at the store? For some reason I feel at a loss lately… pretty much the only quick-grab snacks I buy are the Stretch Island fruit leathers, which I LOVE, but I need more suggestions. Like, what kind of nuts do you get? Are they salted?

Well Laura, as I said, lately I’ve been out of my groove, but normally I buy carrots, sugar snap peas, Triscuits Thin Crisps, popcorn, Cocoa Roast Almonds, light yogurt cups, pistachios, and of course, fresh fruit.

For some reason I haven’t been choosing these things though, so maybe it is time to change things up a little. Let’s get a good list going of everyone’s favorite snacks. Hopefully it will inspire us to stay away from the junk and try something new!

So… What are Your Favorite Grab-and-Go Snacks?
