After a long week of work & going back to coaching cheerleading, I am one tired girl! I wake up at 6 on weekdays, but today I got the chance to sleep in until 9:30. It’s the little things that make me happy!
Breakfast:
I’ve been going for overnight oats the past week but didn’t get the chance to prepare them for today, so I went with hot oats. The weather is starting to heat up but it’s still a little chilly/windy in the mornings here so hot oats was fine with me!
Today’s bowl included vanilla extract, brown sugar, cinnamon, strawberries, blueberries, pecans, a few glazed walnuts and peanut butter. So good!! I’ve been putting glazed walnuts in my overnight oats and they’re delicious! Not the healthiest, but a little bit won’t hurt.
After breakfast I headed out to the tennis courts to meet my friend. I very rarely play tennis so I’m not great at it, but it’s fun to play! I’d actually really like to play more often, it’s a fun sport and it’s great exercise. Another great way to take my workouts outdoors!
It was pretty hot outside so my friend and I decided to go get fro-yo after a while. I guarantee I will never turn down an opportunity to get fro-yo!!
Always go big with fro-yo!! In this bowl is caramel & white chocolate fro-yo with toasted coconut, strawberries, Butterfinger and the best cookie dough ever. My favorite combo lately!
After fro-yo & tennis time I headed home. At lunch time I heated up a couple pieces of a mozzarella, cheddar, spinach, tomato & buffalo sauce pizza I made on Thursday night.
After lunch my mom and I met up to go shopping together. I’m looking for anything and everything to decorate my new house with so it was a huge search! We went to a couple stores and I found a lot of really great stuff I can’t wait to get. One thing I did pick up is some chalk labels for glass jars in the kitchen. I am determined to keep this house organized and this is one step in that direction!
Once we were done I heated up some homemade clam chowder my dad made and put it in a sourdough bread bowl. This was my first time having homemade clam chowder and it was amazing!
The rest of the night will be spent lounging around doing a whole lot of nothing! I love having some spare time to just hang out and relax. I hope you all are having a great weekend!!
Your oats look awesome!!!
Can I ask a silly question? What are overnight oats? I hear it being used all the time but have no idea – and thought best to ask a real person rather than google!!

Not a silly question at all! Overnight oats is basically oatmeal prepared at night and it’s ready in the morning (or a couple hours later). For example, at night I’ll mix up 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup vanilla greek yogurt & 1/2 cup vanilla coconut milk (or just regular milk), plus a little cinnamon and put it in the fridge to set. In the morning it’s set together and you (usually) eat it cold. I like to top mine with peanut butter & berries in the morning. Hope that helped!!
Oh awesome! Thanks so much

Miss you posts girl!!
Tennis, froyo and shopping are all great! I used to play tennis when I was younger. I love froyo! And who doesn’t love shopping (besides men)?
The pizza you made looks delicious. I think homemade pizza is the best!
