1. My week is totally thrown off. We usually have church on Wednesday evenings, but we had a break this week. Yesterday felt like a Tuesday or something?
2. We took both of the pups to the vet yesterday. I left a proud mama as both dogs were in tip top shape!
3. Somehow my husband convinced me to start watching The Walking Dead with him. I think I’ve covered my face through half of the episodes so far. We’ll see how long I last.
4. You need to make these muffins. Annette shared one with me this past weekend, and I was an instant fan. Healthy AND delicious all in one! Can’t beat it!

5. I had some extra energy on Monday so I decided to try out Fitnessista’s HallowLEAN Hill Workout. I did a walking version of it, and it still kicked my booty. It was a fun one!
6. I’m kinda sorta addicted to this crunchy Biscoff spread. I have a feeling I’ll have the jar polished off by the end of the week no problem. Aaaand considering I just bought it last week… That doesn’t say much for my self control with it. Needless to say, it’ll only be making an occasional appearance in our pantry from here on out!
7. Good thing Kindergarteners are super cute and tell the best most random stories because they sure are a lot of work! I only substituted for half the day, and I was already wiped by the time noon rolled around!
8. My new favorite protein packed snack is The Simply Bar Chile Protein Chips with cottage cheese. Don’t knock it ‘til you try it! So good!
9. Who knew a “gentle” prenatal yoga video could make your shoulders so doggone sore?! Holy moly!
10. Does anyone else randomly bust out singing just because? We were on a walk yesterday evening, and the sun was going down. We rounded a corner and the sun shot me right in the eyes so of course I started singing “Blinded by the light!” I think my husband wanted to run home without me.
11. I feel like I have a zillion other random thoughts and stories I could share with you this week, but I’ll leave with you with that. 
Have a super day!

Biscoff spread is good! Like you though I can’t keep it in the house very often!!
What makes the Biscoff crunchy? Don’t tell me it’s crushed up Biscoff cookies. Oh my!
Oh yes it is!
I reallllly want to try Justin’s Maple Almond Butter. I’ve heard so much about it and always passed it up because I love nut butter way too much as it is. I finally decided to allow myself to get it last time and they were SOLD OUT. Probably for the best. lol.
I am obsessed with scambled eggs with veggies topped with Cholula and hummus. The flavors are SO good together.
I used to randomly burst out into song and dance when home alone…until I saw the window cleaner laughing at me….Well it made his day I guess! I ran and hid.
Okay, your dogs are TOO adorable for life!! I bet they give THE best/worst puppy eyes!!
I’m all about random singing (and dancing!) — it lifts my energy and happiness like nothing else! Go with it, #noshame!!
My husband was watching the new episode of the Walking Dead earlier this week and I couldn’t even take the sound effects! I had to go upstairs because it creeped me out too much!
I wake up every morning with a new song in my head and sing it
I love it haha.
Yes kindergartener age kids are a lot of work! I can’t imagine a class full of them and then trying to teach them on top of it! Yay for healthy dogs, I think that means you will be an A plus momma!
haha my boyfriend is a “burst into song or screams” kind of person. Sometimes it’s really cute, and other times I’m sure people think he’s a total nutcase. haha, oh well, it’s fun.
Haha I’m always randomly bursting out into song – I got it from my family! The whole bunch of us are nuts.
My thought: I can’t wait for this long day to be over so I can come home and watch Grey’s Anatomy tonight!
i ALWAYS bust out and sing..especially if its a glee song!
hope you have a great day!
So happy your pups are healthy! Nothing makes me happier than when Tebow comes home from the vet with a gold star
those apple muffins look great and considering I still have a ton of apples from the orchard left, I may just have to make them!
I’ve only had the TJ’s cookie butter, which is maybe similar? But it is incredible! I have yet to buy a jar of it for myself, though. I’m afraid that I would polish it off in a matter of days…
Your puppies are soooo cute. I have major puppy fever. But I know that if I got one dog, I’d have to get another. I definitely want to own two, so that they’d be each others buddy when I’m not home!
I literally sing about everything! If someone says a word, I’ll most likely bust into a song hahah
I have been looking for some Biscoff spread to try but I haven’t found any just yet. It sounds great though! And yes I burst out in song at random moments. Random and inappropriate moments usually. =)
A friend tried to get me to watch the Walking Dead… I said that would be a no unless I had someone to tell me what was going on while I covered my eyes lol. I have never had biscoff but have always wanted to try it, I need to find the crunchy since crunchy spreads are my go to favorite!
Ohhhhh, I bust out a random tune ALL the time. NBD
I jam out in my car hahaha people sometimes stare, but idc, not like I’ll see them again :p
bursting out singing is the only way to do a walk! love that! i also feel like this week has just dragged on.
I thought randomly busting out singing was completely normal?
I do it all the time… sometimes I even feel like dancing when I’m walking down the street or waiting for the light to change…
I have a minor Walking Dead obsession – I love that Cody convinced you to watch it because I’m of the mindset that it’s pretty much the best show ever.
When I’m driving, if a song comes on the radio that I know I turn the car into my personal karaoke bar.
I love the suspense of the show but the “walkers” creep me out!
hahaha! I always break into random songs… except I think I’m tone deaf! LOL!! I love those Simply Bar Chips!!
Oh, I know what you mean! I’ve subbed a full day in kindergarten. It is so exhausting!
Oh yes, I bust out random tunes all the time. Especially when I’m alone, then I realize how weird I look if anyone could see me. It’s slightly awkward;) I want to see Walking Dead but I’m a little hesitant to start it because I don’t want to be scared out of my mind ha ha.
Hi Ashley!! I’m interested in the apple muffins – have you made them? How many servings are there?
I haven’t made them myself…I’ve only tried one that Annette made for me. I would suggest checking out the recipe on Annette’s blog ( http://www.enjoyyourhealthylife.com/2012/10/10/protein-apple-chunk-muffins/) and ask her how many muffins she got out of it!
Haha I don’t always bust out in song, but I do bust out some dance moves! I was with my brother waiting for his wife before the Bulls game on Tuesday and there was a van playing Hammer Time. I started dancing and he walked away…
Where do you find such delicious Biscoff spread?!
Glad you like the muffin! Oh, and cottage cheese with those chips sounds fantastic to me!
And yes, I do randomly break out into song…but so does the hubs. So we’re perfect for each other
I found it at WalMart of all places!
Your pups are so cute!
Haven’t tried the Biscoff spread yet but it’s on my list!
Love Walking Dead!!! I do bust out in song occasionally, but it’s usually a random made up song. Weirdos unite?
You bet!
My husband loves watching the Walking Dead, as well – lol. And with streaming on Netflix, he can watch a billion episodes. But, I can’t stomach it – good luck!!!
And yes, I love singing “If I had a million dollars” by Barenaked Ladies.
I’ve never tried Biscoff spread. I see it at the store and want to get it, but I just know it would be SO dangerous in my house!
You have to try it at least once!
I’ve never had Biscoff spread because it’s not available in Canada but I’d love to try it!
I also randomly burst out in song! My mom used to do this when I was little and it would embarrass me but now I do it too!
I love that Biscoff spread! I always hide it in the back of the pantry for the week (seriously, tops) it lasts in the house.
I tried that… Didn’t work.
I burst into song all the time. It seems like everything reminds me of a song lyric!
Me and my friends… walking around… singing songs from our parents time… singing pop songs… singing show tunes… people giving us the look…SO MUCH FUN!!!
I have a jar of Cookie Butter from Trader Joe’s in my cabinet, and I heard that it’s similar to Biscoff spread. But I’ve had that thing probably since May and have barely made a dent in it. I think it’s really good, but it’s just not something I grab when I’m craving a sweet treat!
Yes it’s pretty similar… I wish I had that problem.
I’ve never tried Biscoff, but I just noticed it popping up in my grocery store, so I’m sure I’ll be trying it soon enough.
YES to singing. I usually make up my own random songs though. I have about 5 songs that I sing to our dog… all Erica originals.
I was a cadet teacher for a kindergarten class my senior year of high school, and they.were.so.exhausting! I was only there a few hours every day, but man I left there drained.
Now that I’m a stay at home mom I feel like I never know what day it is!! haha
The cookie spread from Trader Joes is my Biscoff spread. I.cannot.control.myself. ha and I bust out singing way too often. I have had to control it since finding an office job. For some reason my co worker’s don’t seem to appreciate the amazing concerts I give them!
I like the TJ’s cookie spread too, but unfortunately we don’t have TJ’s here. I think I like the Biscoff brand a little better though!
whoa there~I loooove biscoff spread and haven’t had it in a while!! But I’ve never heard of the crunchy kind, but I can already imagine the texture. Mmm. And I used to love scary stuff but now I’m kind of like, ahhhh I don’t need more “stress” in my life, hehe.
I believe the crunchy kind is newer! It’s so good!
I’ve never had Biscoff spread but I am ADDICTED to biscoff cookies so I feel like I would truly enjoy them. And don’t worry I randomly burst into songs as well and it’s terrible when I hate the song I’m singing too
Oh yes, then you’d love the spread!
Not only do I randomly want to burst into song sometimes….I also love specifically singing “blinded by the light!” I swear it always pops into my head whenever it’s really bright (sunny, bright headlights, flashlights…). I thought I was the only one! haha
Number 10 is too dang cute, and yes… I do in fact do that too! Especially in the car, even when the radio is not on! Yeah, cool kid status
Biscoff spread is in fact crack in a jar, addicting to say the least! I actually always feel a tad sick after eating some of it lol, but a good sick, ya know!
Oh yes, crack in a jar is a great way to put it!
