Some pretty fun stuff on the list, but what really caught my eye was this Panda Planner:</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The article notes: "The organizational day planner is structured around a handful of scientifically-backed strategies for setting goals and following through." The planner description on amazon even goes so far as to say it is a scientific approach to productivity and happiness.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The cost of the planner comes with 7 free e-books on increasing your productivity.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm giving it a whirl and will report back! :)</span></span>Stephanie H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10002821722007131067noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8366014986529799407.post-55671212952308831862018-01-05T15:22:00.002-05:002018-01-05T15:22:28.901-05:00Cranberry Moscow MulesMy friend made cranberry Moscow mules over the holiday break and I am obsessed!!<br />

I skipped the sugar, used avocado oil instead of vegetable oil and added some mini chocolate chips. It was moist and delicious. What's unusual about this recipe is it calls for the entire can of pumpkin so there is no waste - which I love.

Hope everyone has a great holiday. Oh and shhh Santa is bringing a puppy. Because why not add to the madness. :)<br />

I have been busy with work travel (Brazil, Hong Kong and London!) the past few weeks AND had a problem logging in to blogger which explains the reason for my absence. <br />
<br /><br />
I hope to be back on and posting more often. Last weekend we went to <a href="http://www.wwinterwonderland.com/" target="_blank">Westchester's Winter Wonderland</a>. I had heard mixed things in the past, but they apparently have evolved it and I highly recommend it! It's cheap (5 and under are free and everyone else is $15/pp). It includes skating, santa visit, some rides, light show. Extras include camel rides, pony rides and some fun food, beer and wine trucks. Great event if you are in the area!<br />
<br /><br />

Some <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=129kuDCQtHs" target="_blank">old school Springsteen</a> is the tune of the day!<br />

I love the Fall more than any other time of the year, but not looking forward to packing lunches, homework and strict bedtimes.<br />
<br />
I know many people went back to school this week, but for those who are still in Summer mode here are<a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/robfranklin/no-jorts-after-labor-day?utm_term=.eqv1DVzAA#.qh1QB56rr" target="_blank"> 27 idea for things to do before Summer is out</a>. I did many of these already -- especially all the ice cream suggestions, which is sort of a problem. ;) But that's ok - you only live once and I am back in the saddle of getting healthy. Hopefully the holidays don't slip me up like they do every year. <br />
<br />
I want to capture the songs of the Summer for us here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9kXstb9FF4" target="_blank">Spirits</a> by the Strumbellas and<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pw-0pbY9JeU" target="_blank"> Ride</a> by 21 Pilots. My youngest in particular would sing these two songs over and over in the car. Precious memories - especially when he would get mad at my middle one for signing louder than him and pout.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to the day off tomorrow to get my boys their school uniforms and shoes in order. Hope everyone has a great weekend!<br />

<br />
Saturday was 'surprise middle child day'. Took the kids to Sesame Place to celebrate. My middle guy was so excited. He said he was going to show everyone his middle finger to so they know he is the middle child. HA!<br />
<br />
One recommendation I have for Sesame is to book a lunch reservation with the characters. SO worth it. Get in the AC for a bit to cool off and meet all the characters in one shot versus waiting on long lines.<br />

Sunday hosted had my nephew's 1st birthday at my house. It was HOT, but a nice day.<br />
<br />
With big parties the go to is usually Costco, but my friend just told me an alternative today -- <a href="http://www.boxed.com/">www.boxed.com</a>. It is wholesale delivered to your door for dry goods only. She said it was great and highly recommends it so I am going to check it out. If any of my friends try it let me know -- I can refer you and we get an extra deal according to my friend.<br />

The biggest excitement is I finally ditched my white couches. They were completely falling apart. Fell in love with these brown leather ones at Pottery Barn and am hopeful they will hold up better against my little guys. I keep saying "hide the scissors" -- I wish I was joking. ;) But many parents have told me leather is the way to go with kids -- holds up better.</div>

As we walked out we stumbled upon in the same building this beautiful woman singing jazz music in this fabulous venue called <a href="http://www.mckittrickhotel.com/the-heath/" target="_blank">The Heath</a>. It was breathtaking -- my photo doesn't even do it justice. You felt like you were in the 1940's. I am dying to go back ASAP. <br />

I thought the summer would allow a break, but I seriously can't keep up. Which is why I was thankful to stumble across this article about <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/best-productivity-apps-for-iphone-android-2014-10" target="_blank">best apps for productivity.</a> Some cool ones in there to check out!<br />
<br />
It's been a packed Summer with a fun week down at LBI, two amazing concerts Coldplay (omg a-ma-zing) and Guns 'n Roses (bucket list!) and so much more.<br />
<br />
Work is crazy as usual and my three little guys keep me hopping. I can't believe it is almost time for them to go back to school. I have two major trips coming up for work (Brazil & Hong Kong) which will take me away nearly two full weeks in the Fall. I am really looking forward to diving into my new global role, but have to admit I am a bit stressed about leaving the kids for so long. We will see how I handle juggling. But my goal is to start posting again at least once a week....we'll see. :)<br />

Haven't listened to them in ages. <a href="https://vimeo.com/137749337?lite=1" target="_blank">Only love</a> is my absolute favorite so have it back on repeat after months on hiatus. <br />
<br />
Tomorrow is the last day of school for my oldest thank goodness. Hopefully thereafter I will have time to post a little more. These past few months have been killer!<br />

It become SUPER complicated so wound up just having some families over for dinner on Saturday. We had a fabulous time! Grilled a whole filet mignon, chicken, corn, salad, bread.<br />
We lucked out with fantastic weather so the kids played in the pool while the adults relaxed.<br />
Happy Monday! <br />

OMG the title of this blog no longer applies to me. I am drowning at work and home. Dear lord. I am slowly digging my way out so hope to be in better shape within next three weeks once school/sports are over!<br />
<br />
In the mean time wanted to save this recipe for chicken, broccoli and brown rice casserole. Using organic brown rice in casseroles has proved to be a challenge for me -- the rice doesn't always cook right. Finally found <a href="http://dinnerthendessert.com/one-pan-baked-chicken-brown-rice-vegetable-casserole/" target="_blank">this recipe</a> which works perfect! Made this last night so my Dad can heat it up for the kids tonight. They are going to devour it!<br />
<br />
Also just saw this on facebook and think it is true! Love it!!<br />

Last Thursday night I organized a huge group to go to Paint Night which was so much fun. Friday night went to a friend's birthday party and Saturday went out with a group of parents from school for drinks. I paid for it all day yesterday -- could barely move!<br />
<br />
The one thing I did do yesterday was prep dinner for tonight using this recipe for <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/beef-and-cheddar-casserole-recipe.html" target="_blank">Beef and Cheddar Casserole</a>. I substituted the beef for ground turkey and used plain greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Tried a quick bite and it was DELISH and very easy to throw together. Kids are going to love it.<br />

My big excitement is one huge project at work is reaching the finish line this week. It's been a year in the making and I am so relieved to have it get off my plate you have no idea.<br />
<br />
And the biggest most exciting thing ever is I am the flipping-out-excited holder of tickets to Guns 'N Roses in July. I do not remember the last time I was so excited about something. Bucket list material. :)<br />
<br />
Some of my playlist for the foreseeable future:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TnL-LJKWE0" target="_blank">Rocket Queen</a><br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1tj2zJ2Wvg" target="_blank">Welcome to the Jungle</a><br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SbUC-UaAxE" target="_blank">November Rain</a><br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rbm6GXllBiw" target="_blank">Paradise City</a><br />
<br />
GAH!!!! I don't care what he looks like now, no one is more bad ass than Axl Rose!<br />

Except my oldest will once in a blue moon randomly ask for cinnamon-raisin bread. <br />
<br />
I haven't found an organic version that is good so when he asked for it the other day I told him I would make it for him. I used <a href="http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/bread-machine-cinnamon-raisin-bread/b42228f5-4f6e-454a-9186-c67c0d7686c9" target="_blank">this recipe</a> for the bread machine.<br />
