An Egg Sandwich A Day

Lately I have been trying to eat more protein (for my health in general, but mainly for this little bebe inside me).  What I used to enjoy every so often has recently become my fave...the egg.  I will always be a carb lover, but this little guy has changed my life.  Instead of my regular toast and jam in the mornings, I have toast and a hard-boiled egg and ta-da!...I'm full until lunch.  And then when lunch rolls around, I simply add an egg to my go-to wrap, and looky there...protein in both my meals so far.

Most people think I'm crazy for never really liking "that much" protein or meat, but it's just how I am.  But maybe not for long...eggs are so easy and quick that they have won me over.

And just look at all the recipes you can make with them.  I am definitely trying these 3 sandwiches above.  Do you have any favorite egg recipes I need to try?

Oh Bebe!

We have some news in the Clay household - Baby Clay is coming to join our little family in January 2014!  Yippee!!  We couldn't be more excited or thankful to start this adventure and are looking forward to all the ups and downs that we will soon face.  It's going to be a new chapter in our lives, but we are so ready!

Baby Clay, we can't wait to meet you!  January can't come soon enough!

The Fishtail Braid

It's just way too hot to do anything with long hair.  I wish I knew how to fishtail braid, and then I would rock this style every.single.day.  Yep!  I sure would!

Jumpsuits For Days

What do you wear when it's over 100 degrees everyday, and you know it's only the beginning to a long hot summer?  My answer - jumpsuits!  They are airy, easy and so comfortable.  (There's only a slight difficulty actually taking the thing off every time you have to go to the bathroom, but hey, it's worth it!)

All these lovelies are from Anthropologie, and I might have stocked up a little this weekend to prepare me for the months to come.  (They are having their summer sale, you know?!)

Beach Bound

Whew!  Things have been CRA-ZY around here lately, but all that doesn't matter now because we are heading to the beach! Woo-who!!

It has been a couple of years since we have taken a relaxing beach vacation (my only idea of what a REAL vacation should be) and we are beyond thrilled to eat, drink, layout and do absolutely nothing for a solid week.  For me, that's the only real way I can re-charge.  I need that down time (maybe it's because I'm chill anyway) but vacations that are all go, go, go just seem to wear me out.  Don't get me wrong, they are still fun and all, but sometimes a girl just needs to do nothing.  Right?

I've packed my suits, my hat, a few dresses and plenty of reading material, and I'm good to go!  You can expect a refreshed, energetic, tan (hopefully) chica when I get back to the states.

What about you?  How do you re-charge and relax?  Are you a beach gal, mountain gal or city gal?
