Project Landscape the House has commenced. We had it professionally designed by the good people at Wiegand’s Nursery in Macomb, Michigan (trust me, it wouldn’t have been pretty had we done it alone). Not only was Charmaine (the designer) very professional and super nice, she also rocked out the design. She delivered on everything I asked for. I couldn’t be happier and am looking forward to implementing her design. Happy gardening!

Addictive personality or irresponsible company?
I never considered myself to have an addictive personality, but the older (and wiser) I get, the more apparent it is. For instance, I cannot put this bag of mixed nuts down, no matter how many times I look at the caloric intake on the back of the bag. As the contents disappear, I keep reaching for more. Does one bag really need to contain the ability to nourish you with 1800 calories and still call itself a “snack”? Then I think, “well, maybe it’s not so much of a personal fault as it is an irresponsibility of Germack to make the most amazingly-tasty nut mixture”. I mean, come on, cherries, cranberries, roasted almonds (my favorite), cashews and shelled pistachios! All in one freaking bag!? If ignorance is bliss, consider me Donald Trump. I’m eating the whole damn bag!

Peanut Butter Blast
My morning go-to drink for some quick, healthy energy:
1 cup of skim milk
2 tbsp natural peanut butter
1 tbsp Hershey’s chocolate syrup
2 bananas
Blend on high for 30 seconds. For a healthier smoothie, substitute agave nectar or honey for the Hershey’s syrup.

Skull’s Eye Schooner! I’ve put together an old childhood Lego toy to make sure all the parts were still there. Planning on passing it down to Leah when she’s old enough. Almost a thousand pieces to the ship! (Taken with instagram)
