I was debating with myself, as I usually do, should I post one more smoothie and add it to the collection or a burger.

Yes, you are allowed to drool. The took only a few shots because my hunger struck like a lightning in the middle of the summer. I had to move fast, otherwise, I would not guarantee anyone’s safety around me at that moment.
Spring break is here, my boy is back from his band trip and all three are home for the next 2 weeks. Woohoo! Right!!!
My stress level is… Alright, for now! I’ve been making their favorite meals, I listen to their stories, we are having fun so far. I sing as loud as I can to keep them out of my office when I am working… And it is working!

I have been MIA from social media for a couple of days, but that’s because I am spending so much time with the kids and surprisingly, I am going to sleep earlier than midnight. I am only trying!
You see, I am a night owl, and a zombie when I wake up in the morning. In all seriousness, I need to train myself to sleep longer than 4 hours in one piece, which again is incredibly hard.
I took my time last week and updated my about page and a few older posts, made a gazillion pictures, which I did not share yet, but overall I have enjoyed my social media free time.

Notes
- The burger/meat mixture is my own recipe and I have been using it for many years.

- Baking Soda helps tenderize the meat and keep them juice. You do not have to add them, but this is my method that I have been using for years.
