Lately Part 2

I figured I would write another lately post to let you know what’s been going on lately and what I’m liking lately so here it goes….

Lately, we’ve been getting a lot of wine shipments from our travels and wine clubs. Sadly one even got damaged in the shipment since it was so cold but our awesome winery, Girard, is sending us all new bottles even though only two were damaged.

Lately, my 19 month old has been talking more and more and it is so awesome to be able to communicate more with her. She will even sing with you, heart melting….

Lately, I’ve been making popcorn from kernels on the stove top. I read that there is a bunch of icky stuff in the microwave popcorn bags and my CSA has been giving us kernels so there was no excuse not to try it.

Lately, I’ve been burning a lot of popcorn…..read note above. There is some magic science to getting popcorn to be just perfect and not burnt on the stove top and I still haven’t mastered it. Thankfully the CSA also gave some BBQ popcorn spice that is super yummy and can cover up a few burnt kernels 🙂

Lately, I’ve gotten into ‘How I Met Your Mother’, for like the 5th time. I did take a 6+ month hiatus when it got taken off of Netflix but now we have Hulu and I’ve started up again. If you haven’t seen it, stop after season 9 because season 10 sucks which is ironic since it is the part where he actually met the mother.

Lately, I’ve been reading a lot of books on yoga for my teacher training program but I actually started to read more of “Girl Wash Your Face” and am loving it.

Lately I have been only watching full length movies on airplanes. I have a hard time committing to an entire movie otherwise as I feel there is always something to do. For whatever reason though, I am still cool with binge watching shows like ‘Chopped’ and ‘Shark Tank’ on Hulu because you can easily stop at the end of an episode.

Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Queen due to a recent viewing of Bohemian Rhapsody on an airplane (see note above).

Lately, I’ve been thinking I should get a pedicure….the nail polish from the one I got last summer has just about worn off 🙂

Lately, my girls have had major cabin fever being inside so much. We have had ridiculous amounts of snow, cold and now rain. Their new game is running circles in the house….with their snow pants and hats on…wait that’s not normal?

Lately, I have been getting more excited about being a yoga teacher! I am only two months away from the end of my program and I am teaching part of a workshop next weekend! Now I just have to find the time to actually TEACH once I am an official registered yoga teacher…

Lately, I did a stitch fix and kept only one item. I was sent 4 tops and one pair of black legging/jeans things that I actually kept because they were long enough (which is super hard to find being 6’1″), comfy and nice enough for work. I did not keep 4 shirts they gave me (major fail to that stylist). They were weird colors (like burgundy) and short flowy blouses (not me at all).

Lately, we got our last winter CSA today which means I have to wait until June to start getting a CSA’s again 🙁  Thankfully the local farmer’s markets start up again during the spring months so I will start hitting those up soon.

Lately, I’ve been into quinoa salads for lunches.  This week we had an Asian quinoa salad and the previous week we had more of a Greek style quinoa salad. The Asian quinoa salad is one of my favorite lunch salads I make.

Lately, I’ve really been enjoying the overnight resurfacing peel from Beautycounter. It really helps to even out skin tone and my face feels amazing the next morning! It’s like getting a facial without having to remember to schedule an appointment, go there and pay a bunch of money!

Lately, I was trying out drinking Bubly instead of LaCroix because it has been on sale and I am a sucker for a bargain. Well, I’ve realized that you shouldn’t mess with a good thing. I know there were those articles that there is bad stuff in LaCroix, but there were also articles that was saying that is crap. You chose which you want to believe 🙂

Lately, I’ve been cooking more simple meals, like a meat with a veggie side or two. The other day I made lamb chops with roasted potatoes and asparagus, simple yet yummy (and paired with a Syrah from Joseph Phelps winery).

Lately, I’ve been craving headstands. I’m not sure why….sometimes I just want to be upside down!

What have you been up to lately or loving lately?
