Morning!
So, yes, I apologize about whatever technical difficulties y’all have been having when ordering wine. I was told that all the kinks were worked out but, obviously, they are not…shipping is supposed to be free so when I go to work today I’ll take action on fixing that!
This morning I had some coffee while I wrote for a little while, early, and then made a big bowl of oats a little later.


1/2 cup oats, 1 cup water, 1/2 scoop protein, 2 tsp maca, 1 banana, pumpkin butter, almond butter!
I’m off to write a little more and then head to the gym before work. I leave you with this “candid” photo of Christie and I, a year ago, trimming the tree. I’ll never forget that night a year ago because that was the night of my company christmas party and I got soooooooooooo sick. We were laughing the other day that a year ago I lived in her house with her parents…and she lived in New Orleans.

I’m so excited for my friends to get here tomorrowwwww!!!!

That blue dress looks awesome on you!
I second that…the blue dress looks gorgeous!
If I didn’t know you were on your way to a party, I would have though hey, those girls are pretty dressed up just to trim a tree. I think I was in track pants last weekend doing mine.
I third that – gorgeous blue dress!

Love the dress!
That color blue is gorgeous!
I can’t wait to set up the tree this year…it’s one of the many highlights of every December.
I love decorating Christmas trees. It’s just the best and will never, ever get old. Couple the tree decorating with the smell of baked goods in the oven, some sort of cheesy Christmas music, egg nog, and I’m a happy camper.
I also love almond butter in oats, but that’s been established. Hope you have a wonderful visit with your friends!
I have to agree with everyone else, that dress is beautiful on you!
Trimming the christmas tree is one of my favorite things to do.
This year I’m making some of my own ornaments. I’m excited!

Love the blog for so many reasons! Good luck with your book – can’t wait to hear more about it!
Question – where did you get those cute bowls for your oatmeal?
Mmm, those oats look super-creamy and absolutely delish. I love the globs of almond butter on top—heaven. Have fun tomorrow!
Hey Jenna! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my MacBook Pro. Totally worth the money. I had the MacBook and the white got so dirty and cracked and was not enough memory. My husband bought me my new Pro about two months ago and it is FANTASTIC. Worth the money. And ask about discounts — Mac gives discounts for everything. Good luck! Katie
I love that dress, gorgeous blue color! And I totally remember that pic, hopefully the holidays will be sickness-free this year
What a fun picture!
love the last pic, so festive! Hope u have fun w/ your besties!
LOL!!! I lurve ‘candid’ shots like that!!!
YAAAAY for good friends visiting!!! Y’all are gonna have such a good time!!!!
Girl your bowls ALWAYS make me miss oatmeal. I can’t wait to make myself a HUGE bowl when I get back to the US!
That blue dress looks amazing on you!!
Mac’s are the only way to go! I’d just go for the Macbook Pro… I mean, if you’re going to do it, you might as well do it right!!!
Breakfast looks yummy- as always!
