This portable potty was recommended to me a few years ago by a friend who is always in the know when it comes to kid stuff. I'm so glad because it has come in handy more than once on road trips with the kids. It's appropriately called, "Travel John." hehe Seriously though, it has saved my car and my sanity when we travel.<br />
<br />
...like the time we were half way home <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>[FOUR hours into an EIGHT hour drive]</strong></span><br />
<br />
from vacation and realized we forgot the laptop so we turned around, picked it up, and drove back home. Do the math - that's a 16 HOUR trip! - with two kids under four.<br />
<br />
It was really helpful when I was potty training my little girl and we were no where near a potty. They're always nice to have on hand. So, I bought another pack and thought you may want to know about this, too. <br />
<br />
We live where traffic can extend your time in the car at a moment's notice. A normally 20 minute drive can turn into an hour long bumper-to-bumper standstill. For my kids, it's kinda cruel to say, "Hold it until we get home." So when I hear, <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>"I gotta go peeee...my bwadder is fullll"</strong></span>, <br />
they can easily pee before they mess my car!<br />
<br />
We used to live in the middle of Nowhere, TX. The Travel John was helpful there as well. Most of the time, it was a solid 45 minute drive into civilization. If the kids had to go, they could use one of these instead of the complete hillbilly act. The beads turn into a gel (kinda like when a diaper is wet) so it won't spill. <br />
<br />

<br />
When they mention their bwadder, I know they're serious. <br />
<br />
Don't ask me how I know this.<br />
<br />
It's also good for vomit. <br />
<br />
Please don't ask me how I know this either.<br />
<br />
If you're traveling with young ones for the holidays, it's definitely a great help on the road. I found mine <a href="http://www.amazon.com/TravelJohn-Jr-Disposable-Potty-6-pack/dp/B000NVBYEM?ie=UTF8&tag=suga04-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: blue;">here</span></strong></a><strong><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=suga04-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B000NVBYEM" height="1" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important;" width="1" /></strong>.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">One of the things I missed most about Maryland was the FOOD! Don't get me wrong - Texas definitely delivered when it came to good food as well. It's just a different kind of food I missed. Above all, the crabs! Second to that is the delicious Italian food found all over Baltimore. My in-laws were amazing enough to overnight Maryland crabcakes to us in a FedEx ice-packed cooler. As far as Italian donuts? I made my own - and they're JUST as good as I remember in Maryland.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">It's a very simple recipe. I found a basic pizza dough recipe and instead of covering it with sauce and cheese, I deep fry hunks of the dough and roll it in sugar. Oh sweet heavens! These are the chewiest, most delicious donut! </span><br />

I found a few bottles of </span><a href="http://amzn.to/1PN3xIs" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">acryllic paint</a><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> at Walmart and thought I'd have a go at painting over all of the DARK areas. I have no idea what I was thinking when I bought this deeply saddening print. It looks like it belongs in an pamphlet titled, "Are you Depressed?" Blegh!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I couldn't find my good brushes but I did find a <a href="http://amzn.to/1nAvywa" target="_blank">kiddie water color paintbrush</a> that worked just fine. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So, it was pretty simple - I sprayed the frame with <a href="http://amzn.to/1QCCRxo" target="_blank">white Rustoleum spray paint</a> and then went to town with my <a href="http://amzn.to/1nJ0ZFk" target="_blank">white</a> and <a href="http://amzn.to/1PN3xIs" target="_blank">blue acryllic paint</a> just adding more petals. A little here, a little there. Then, I ended up with a huge white blob - not worried about it too much. Ultimately it looks WAY better than before. It may end up in my bathroom - or a pamphlet. :)</span></span><br />

My good friend tried an intriguing diet this summer. She saw the documentary, "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fat-Sick-Nearly-Dead/dp/B004V4ASGC?ie=UTF8&tag=suga04-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead</a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=suga04-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B004V4ASGC" height="1" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" />" about a man on a mission to lose a considerable amount of weight to reverse his obesity-related symptoms. He lost 100 lbs in eight weeks, eating a raw, fruits and vegetables-only diet. Most of his meals came from juicing. After the weight loss, his auto-immune disorder disappeared and he felt great. <br />

Sooooo, my friend decided to go on a lighter version of his diet. She ate only fruits, vegetables, seeds, and nuts for three weeks. She juiced most of her meals and found new ways to prepare dinners (lots of salads).<br />

Right in the middle of her diet, she was supposed to come on over to our house for a play date. She offered to bring her own lunch and I said, "No!". She didn't want to inconvenience me by requiring a raw lunch. I was up for the challenge and came up with this crazy delicious lunch (with no specific measurements).<br />

This is one of my favorite summer lunches now. I'm glad she inspired me to think raw. On a side note, my friend lost 15 lbs in three weeks. Food tastes so much better to her now. She's slowly added back whole grains and some small amounts of meat. She said the three weeks of detox was exactly the boost she needed to change the way she eats and thinks about food. Great job, girlfriend!<br />
<br />
And, here's another way I salad:<br />

<br />
Coconut. It's everywhere. I've become a huge fan of using coconut in cookies, <a href="http://www.sugarbananas.com/2010/05/craving-glazed-coconut-cake.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">cakes</span></a>, soups, <a href="http://www.sugarbananas.com/2015/06/cocoa-banana-rollers.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">snacks</span></a>, sauces, you name it. I even use it to make the best <a href="http://www.sugarbananas.com/2010/03/highly-effective-natural-deodorant.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">deodorant</span></a> I've ever used. At least a can or two of coconut milk and a tub of coconut oil end up in my grocery cart each week. <br />
<br />
I thought I had tried every form of coconut until I came across coconut flour on <a href="http://nuts.com/">Nuts.com</a>. I wanted to find a way to turn a baked treat into something healthier using this flour. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JduCXGRxP4k/VY2b_Be1V3I/AAAAAAAAD5g/fZeHaU8AZPI/s1600/DSCN0786-001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JduCXGRxP4k/VY2b_Be1V3I/AAAAAAAAD5g/fZeHaU8AZPI/s640/DSCN0786-001.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
I read up on the nutritional profile and was very pleased. Coconut flour is made from dried coconut meat so it's loaded with protein and fiber. So, substituting coconut flour for all purpose flour in baked goods lowers the glycemic index or "sugar load". You'll feel fuller longer and your pancreas will thank you. <br />
<br />
Coconut flour<br />
<ul>
<li>contains about 1/3 less carbs and a whopping 10x more fiber than all purpose flour.</li>
<li>is grain and gluten free.</li>
<li>has a granular, yet light and airy texture.</li>
<li>is not just for baking. It can be added to sauces and smoothies for a nutritional boost.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Since it's summer and we're still having flashbacks to our mini vacation to sunny Florida, I'm all about the tropical flavors lately. I brainstormed healthy desserts with my sweet, new <a href="http://www.calnco.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">sister-in-law</span></a>. She's an endless source of creative ideas. <br />
<br />
Passionfruit is a perfect pair for coconut so an angel food cake made with coconut flour and covered in a sweet passionfruit syrup sounded perfect. I can almost hear the waves.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This cake comes together fairly quickly so it's a good idea to have all of the ingredients measured and waiting for you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UiSti9mbzug/VY2b_VpvWaI/AAAAAAAAD5k/5s_kOf6gUkk/s1600/DSCN0788.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="497" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UiSti9mbzug/VY2b_VpvWaI/AAAAAAAAD5k/5s_kOf6gUkk/s640/DSCN0788.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I lucked out and found this flute pan with a removable base at Home Goods. Lifesaver! No more gluing cakes back together! If you don't have one, it's a wonderful investment in your sanity when it comes to baking. <br />

<div>
Be ready for a monster-sized batter. This almost overflowed out of my mixer. I'm sure I could have whipped even more but it would have been on the counter. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
After whipping until stiff peaks form, fold in the flour mixture and gently spoon it into the pan to maintain as much air as possible in the batter. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y-cj9j5htl4/VY2cAQ_uodI/AAAAAAAAD50/uul1quO2Bik/s1600/DSCN0815.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="444" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y-cj9j5htl4/VY2cAQ_uodI/AAAAAAAAD50/uul1quO2Bik/s640/DSCN0815.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then comes the yummy part. Drizzle sweetened passionfruit puree on the batter. I found this passionfruit pulp in the freezer section at the grocery store. It's great for smoothies too. </div>

Make sure to save some for topping when you serve the cake.<br />

I've been growing my hair out for about a year. Actually, that really means I haven't gone to the hair salon in that amount of time. I seriously need to get there ASAP. <br />
<br />
Funny how that happens. Before kids, I went to get a cut and highlights every three or so months. After having kids, a salon trip every few weeks is a comical idea.<br />
<br />
In the mean time, it's becoming such a chore to style hair that's way past my shoulders. <br />
To go from wet, shower hair to looking acceptable, is taking for-ev-er. <br />
<br />
The ends need to be cut so it takes quite a bit of heat styling to make them look smooth.<br />
<br />
Since it's summer, I've just been pulling it into a pony tail. It's fine but looks very much like one of those moms in desperate need of a makeover on the Today Show. <br />
<br />
I found this bun tool and thought it was worth a try. <br />

Given that it was only a few dollars, I didn't have high hopes for it to hold all day. <br />
I was wrong. <br />
SO WRONG. <br />
This this has become my favorite hair tool in my 20+ years of styling my hair. Seriously. It's like a dream. I am done in literally 30 seconds and my hair looks like I spent time actually concerned about my appearance. <br />
<br />
A huge bonus for me is it actually stays in all day. After it's in, I don't even have to touch it until I take it out. No touch ups. And, when I do take it out, my hair is full and wavy from being rolled inside. <br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My good friend, <a href="http://somethingaboutkatie.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Katie</a> shared the original recipe with me. I added a few things and this has turned into a much-loved family favorite dinner. My husband went from being a "Please NEVER feed me soup for dinner!" kinda guy to a "Hey, do you think you could make that chicken tortilla soup for dinner tonight?" kinda guy. The secret is in the chipotle pepper. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Chipotle Chicken Tortilla Soup</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 T Oil</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 lb Bone-In, Skin-on Chicken Breast and Thighs</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">8 cups water</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 onion, roughly chopped</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3 garlic cloves</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2 (14 oz) cans fire roasted tomatoes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 bunch fresh cilantro</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1-2 chipotle peppers</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1-2 tsp adobo sauce (chipotle peppers usually are canned in adobo sauce)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 cup frozen corn (optional)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 can black beans (optional)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Topping:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Tortilla Chips</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Shredded Cheddar Jack Cheese</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sour Cream</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Cilantro</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are two ways to make the broth. The alternative, time-saving method is listed below the recipe instructions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In a large soup pot, brown the chicken on both sides in oil on medium-high heat. Once chicken is deep brown, pour water in the pot, covering the chicken completely. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat back to medium-high and let the chicken boil for about 20 minutes (semi covered), or until the meat falls off of the bone easily. Transfer chicken to a plate. Remove skin and discard. Shred the remaining chicken meat and set aside. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In blender, combine the onion, garlic, cilantro, and ONE can of the tomatoes. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">This brownie habit just got worse when I found the recipe for the <b><a href="http://sugarbananas.blogspot.com/2011/04/best-fudge-brownies-ever.html" target="_blank">best fudgy brownies</a></b> I've ever tasted.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://amzn.to/1o2JjUS" target="_blank">Oregano</a></span> is a rich source of Vitamin K and Omega-3's. However, what first brought my attention to this aromatic herb was McCormick's free recipe booklet I picked up in the grocery store. It's a mini flip-book, centered around the antioxidant value of specific herbs and spices. </span></div>

The rain deficit is around 15" now. So, when a storm heads into town, it's a big deal. As I'm writing this, there's a gorgeous, all-day storm going on just outside of my window. AMEN! </span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Recently we had a lightning storm - no rain, just lots of amazing electricity. I set my camera to rapidly take shots of the sky. I ended up with about 700,000 pictures to weed through. However, I also ended up with a handful of beautiful shots of lightning. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">It's was an entertaining and VERY LOUD show! My favorite is the last one - lightning shaped like a heart.</span></div>
