All genius ideas are born in the spur of the moment. For us they usually start out small and become bigger than originally planned. Last week while Briana was on vacation with her grandma I came up with a genius idea to surprise her with a brand new grown up bedroom set. Sounds simple enough, no biggie, all we have to do is get the old furniture out, replace it with new and we’ll be done. Somehow we found ourselves picking out new wall paint, installing recess lights , changing all the décor and getting rid of old toys that our 7 year old has been hoarding for years. The slight upgrade turned into a week long project that we worked on after long days at work. Anxiously awaiting her return we imagined what her reaction would be like. I worried whether she would love it, like it or completely freak out. Mission accomplished! The look on Briana’s face was priceless. The reaction was everything we wanted it to be. She now refuses to come out of her room proclaiming it to be everything she ever wanted. Ahhh, the pleasures of watching the excitement on your child’s face. Of course I couldn’t go on without sharing any pictures with you. I have been getting my meal prep on a lot lately. It makes things easier during the week. One of my favorite items to prepare for weekday lunches is loaded quinoa salads. I have shared a few on this blog but what’s another one, after all variety is key. Quinoa holds up perfectly while absorbing flavor so well. This salad will keep in the fridge well and you can eat it as is or top over greens and other veggies. Healthy, delicious and easy.
