February favorites

February 28, 2020 /

This month my favorites are different as in they are not purchases. I did buy a few new skirts from Shein, a pair of leggings from Go 2 (which I will review and compare with my Zella leggings next month) but my favorites are moments and things I made!

Homemade yogurt

After at least a year of not making yogurts, I am back at it. My 9 year old kept asking when I would be making some yogurt and while the boys do love the whole milk vanilla 32 oz yogurt tubs from Kroger, we do go through them fairly quickly. If you have a favorite yogurt recipe, please share.

Here is my recipe:

  • 1 and 1/2 quarts of whole milk
  • 4 tbsp of whole milk powder (Nido, not to be mistaken with Nido Kinder 1, been there, done that) to thicken yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 yogurt starter, I usually use 6 oz of plain yogurt or vanilla yogurt
  • 2 tbsp of sugar, optional

Mix together once milk is at room temperature. 8 hours in yogurt maker.

Exercise

After several weeks of not exercising and a couple pictures that my son took, I am back on the wagon and exercised 5 days last week (1 hike, 3 gym, 1 bike ride) and stayed on track this week too! (twice at the gym, bike ride and a brisk walk).

Date nights

After a couple months of no date nights (but we did have some day dates, lunches and walk without kids), we had 2 double dates this month. Hoping to repeat that experience next month. I am looking forward to trying out some other restaurants in Marietta square.

So there you have it, February favorites! I am hoping for a drier March and more sunny days. I will be working on updating my boys rooms on a small budget, reusing some of the things we have but getting some new bedding.

Until next time,

A bientôt!
