A Day at the Ball Park

I love my job. Not just because they gave me 5 free tickets (including a parking pass!) to yesterday's Nationals game. And not just any tickets, suite tickets, you know the ones with a mini fridge stocked with all you can drink waters, sodas, and beers, your own private bathroom, and covered leather seats to protect you from the icky, unseasonably cold rain? But because they have been nothing but understanding and accommodating to me as a mother of 3 busy boys. I am so grateful to have found such wonderful bosses.


Back to the ball game. I love Nationals Park. It's by far my favorite stadium in the DC/Maryland/Virginia area.

Where else can you meet past presidents?

Check out our view!

The popcorn wasn't so bad either.

Did they win? No. Did we have a good time? Yes.

I could get use to the suite life...

Energizing Banana & Oatmeal Smoothie Recipe

Hi Mamas! I'm back with another smoothie recipe for you guys.


Today was what I call a 3-in-1 day. We had a total of three (technically four, but I only made it to three because of scheduling conflicts) games. No. 2 had an 11:30am soccer game, No. 3 had a 1pm soccer game, and No. 1 had a 4:40pm basketball game. It was going to be a long day. I knew I was going to have to start my day off right, so I made a smoothie!


I went with one of my all-time favorite combos (1 banana, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, 1 cup of almond milk), but decided to add a half cup of oats to it for a little more of a punch. I blended all of the ingredients together along with some ice until smooth. It was so rich and creamy, and incredibly filling. You could also freeze your banana ahead of time to take the place of the ice.

It was the perfect way to start my busy day. And took all of just a couple of minutes to make. You have 3 games to get to... who has time to actually COOK breakfast?

I unfortunately did not get a pic of No. 2 today. It was raining cats and dogs. My camera (and hair!) + rain = no bueno. Next time!


Adios!
