Same old, same old . . . or not.

Hi Ladies!

Tomorrow, our five are heading out to spend time with a crowd of super fun people from my side of the family {including Audrey, Mindy, Samantha and Victoria}, so today is that crazy day where I'm trying to do all that I've put off until this last day. One such "to do" is a last minute grocery trip to buy healthy snacks for the car (any suggestions?) and one last round of fruits and veggies to get us through today and to welcome us home when we get back. I dislike leaving summer fruits behind when we travel, knowing that they'll go bad, but it's difficult to judge exactly the right amount of fruit to get you through until the last day. So last night's dinner was down to the dregs. As a result, I made fruit skewers with the remaining blueberries, nectarines, and purple grapes. Funny thing is my kids don't like fruit salad (it's mixed together, weird, I know), but they thought fruit skewers were awesome. Have you ever simply served something differently and then suddenly, the family thinks it's yummy?

Also, I've done something so Healthy Wife that it makes me giggle: incorporate our favorite plank position into a board game for the whole family. Fitness, fun and family: yes they can go together! Off to see me Mateys!
