Happy Friday!

Just a quickie post today! Today was a bit of a crazy day – I had planned on visiting my school where I worked for my practicum in the afternoon for a special event, which got cancelled. I decided to just go in for the morning instead and was planning on staying until lunch to visit and volunteer in my class. However, when I got there it was a bit of crazy situation as there was a track meet, and 4 teachers and the principal was away, then a teacher had to leave for an emergency. So, I ended up staying the entire day in a completely different class to help out and became an impromptu TOC for the day (teacher on call i.e. substitute.) It’s funny how much I miss being in the class, and how quickly I entered ‘teacher’ mode again. It was fun though, especially being in an older class for even just a day. Unfortunately I hadn’t planned on staying all day, so I didn’t bring a lunch. I ended up taking a couple granola bars from the staff room – emergency stash for kids who forgot their lunch/snacks.

This weekend is going to be a busy one – and thankfully it is sunny again. Going out tonight with some friends to try a new sushi place close to our house, and then homework and errands tomorrow during the day, and a beach (hopefully!) party at night for a friends birthday/moving/graduating celebration. And finally a baseball practice on Sunday.

Hope you all have a great weekend! and REMEMBER! Keep an eye out for a special birthday giveaway next Wednesday!

I’ve mentioned before that I’m not a big ‘breakfast’ person in this post – however, when I saw these protein waffles online I knew I had to try them. There’s a ton of versions out there, and I based mine off of the TIU protein waffles. I added some almond butter and almond meal. They are AMAZING. They cook like ‘real’ waffles, and are made from just 6 ingredients!! They keep you full, and happy without any flour OR sugar!! Perfect for a weekend breakfast, especially after a workout.

You can top with any type of fruit – no syrup needed! I just microwave some frozen blueberries and they turn into a delicious berry syrup. Or top with a smear of nut butter!
