Happy February!! February is one of my favorites and least favorite months all in one. It’s one of my favorites because it is my birthday on the 21st, my husband’s is on the 26th, and it’s a short month. It is my least favorite because the weather is all over the place in Texas and it is usually a really hectic month.
If you watch my snapchat or Instagram stories, then you have seen my love of all things tropical right now. I make a tropical smoothie every week, and I love adding in this coconut milk to make it really creamy! You can also add this into my lemon banana collagen smoothie for extra flavor!
It is so good!
My best friend of 30 years and I finally met up to celebrate her birthday. She is exactly one month older than I am, so we went ahead and celebrated min too! We have been doing these since we were about 2 years old 🙂
Once I hit 7 months, my bump really popped!
My sweet Grammy also celebrated a birthday on Saturday. She turned 88 years old! We took her to lunch then baby furniture shopping. She had a fun day! And she outdid me on the shopping too! I had to wait in the car on the last stop, and she was ready to go lol
Most of you know how sick I was in the beginning of pregnancy, but I am so happy to be feeling better these last few months. One thing I am craving again is salads! I eat them almost everyday. I still can’t do grilled chicken without gagging (which kills me lol), but I do some crispy chicken for protein, eggs, avocado, tomatoes, and anything else I can fit on them!

Happy Birthday to your grammy, and look at that sweet baby bump! Glad you’re able to enjoy salads again, that was one my aversions in the 1st trimester too. I was so happy when I could eat them again. Happy Friday <3
