Sleep Deprivation-Inspired Haikus

This is what you get
when I write a sleep haiku.
hey, it's not half bad.

...

Sleep is for the weak
And I have spaghetti arms.
I'm going to bed.

...

One Two Three Four Five
One Two Three Four Five Six Sev
One Two Three Four Five

...

Time to go to bed.
But the bedroom is so far.
Time to go to couch.

So typical...

I have two sick kiddos, one of whom is teething, and the walls of our rental all flooded with backed up air conditioning condensation and are going to have to be cut out and rebuilt, which might mean we have to move out... so I've decided to push the launch back another day.

Thus is life.

And until then, this is cute:

Caturday

I told myself I wouldn't blog on weekends, but then I also told myself I would blog every weekday so... yeah. Here we are.

Caturday is a ridiculous concept but that's what you get when I blog on the weekends.

This illustration (by Gemma Correll) sort of sums up my life perfectly. Now, if the scribbed cat also had a flabby belly and disproportionately toned shoulders from carrying babies (in every sense of the word) we would be set. 

Happy weekend, meow. 

Coconut Limeade

Well that took all of two seconds for me to be completely derailed. Teething baby, sick toddler, general inability to stay awake past 7 pm (I'm talking about myself here)... Oh well. I will make up for it today! 

Which brings us to... Coconut Limeade

The easiest and most refreshing recipe ever. It's literally one lime (I cut it in half, squeeze in the juice and then slice the smooshed skins), coconut water (I'm a big fan of Harmless Harvest 100% raw coconut water) and ice.

Now, before you vomit at the thought of coconut water, please give this a try. I'm not a fan of coconut water myself, but I've been craving this stuff! Plus, coconut water contains all sorts of potassium and other good things to help make sure your body absorbs all the water in this drink (perfect for our 105 degree +++ summers here in Scottsdale).

Enjoy!

Karate Rap (Countdown to blog launch!)

Hi guys!

So I'm just going to skip the profound thoughts and introspections and promises to make this blog remarkable and life-changing for all of us and just give you this little video to set the bar super low.
