It's been nearly two years since I did a weekend check-in. I'd like to get back into the habit, but only time will tell whether I'll be able to keep it up. Only way to know is to start, so here we are!
What I'm Cooking
Pulled pork on cornbread waffles with maple-apple chutney. This is leftover from last week, but it was delicious so I had to share. The pork was nothing fancy, just a loin in the crockpot with some seasonings and some chicken broth.
Whole wheat English muffins. I actually have these going in the skillet as I'm typing. I tried one right out of the skillet, all warm and toasty, and this recipe is definitely a keeper! We read Mr. Putter and Tabby Pour the Tea this week, which features English muffins, so it seemed like a good week for a baking project with help from little hands.
Baked chicken and potatoes. Super simple comfort food. I did a mix of white and sweet potatoes, since the boys prefer sweet potatoes.
For the freezer: a triple batch of baked oatmeal.
What I'm Reading
Shepherding a Child's Heart by Tedd Tripp. I've read this before, way back when Levi was a tiny tot. Seems like we're in new territory with school-age (or nearly) kids on hand, though, and I felt the need to re-orient myself in parenting and discipline decisions.
Weekly Snapshots: scissors practice. The big boys are using pages out of a Kumon cutting book, which my mom picked up for us a long while ago.

Favorite pin: No-excuses 15-minute workout. Every year, my exercise goals (if there has ever been such a thing for me, really) dwindle, and this is the most pathetic year yet: I'm trying to pick ONE little list of exercises off of my "losing weight" pinterest board every day. (I've been successful a whopping three days so far this year. Hey, it's a start.) Most of these aren't even worth being labeled a "workout." A few squats, a few lunges, a half-hearted attempt at push-ups . . . eventually, it'll all add up, right? Right?
