Dance Fail, Dessert, a Morning Smoothie and a WInner (STUFT Mama)

We were super excited to go try out the boys’ first dance class at the gym yesterday afternoon. I mean, we all know they have some great booty dance moves and all.

It went down a little something like this.

Yep. They wanted no part of it. Joaquin informed me he already knew all the dance moves and wanted more kids to be there.

I didn’t force it. I guess every new thing is a learning process. After someone threw a temper tantrum in the hallway of the gym because he wanted to dance once everyone was gone, naturally we left and did the next best thing.

Finding Armando at Trader Joe’s can turn any frown upside down.

I happen to find this purple asparagus.

I’m pretty excited about it. Not as excited as I would be if they had purple sweet potatoes, but any purple produce is a score in my book.

Last night I did the whole pajama eating dessert in bed thing again.

I made a version of creamy dreamy ice cream with real maple syrup and one packet of Stevia as the sweetener. Then I added some strawberries and a white chocolate raspberry Quest Bar.

I reread this from Jesus Calling about three more times last night.

Such a great reminder. We know we shouldn’t worry and that we’re not supposed to, but it’s just so hard not to, right? I think I need to read this every single night.

I got up early to get on the treadmill this morning and finish another Orange is the New Black episode.

I totally see how people binge watch that show. It just sucks you in. Ha.

Since were headed out shortly for the events of the morning, I whipped up a quick smoothie. I used some of my favorite fun new ingredients.

I’ve mentioned that I take CocoaVia capsules everyday, but I also like these dark chocolate unsweetened packets that have the same cocoa flavanols and benefits.
