2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: My Top Picks

Image
Happy Friday, friends! I’m a sucker for a good sale and pretty much never buy something full price, which is why I am a huge fan of Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale every year. I love shopping through Nordstrom year round since they have brands I like and a great customer service, but their annual sale can’t be beat. It’s seriously such a good time to stock up on cold weather essentials for fall/winter, activewear, shoes, and anything you may need for the home like towels, sheets, etc. Hooray for the 2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! Instead of my usual weekly Friday 5, today I’m sharing some items that I have my eye on and will probably end up in my cart before the sale ends. Take note: the 2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale  runs July 19 – August 4 (unless you already shopped during the pre-sale as a Nordstrom card holder). Happy sale shopping and enjoy your weekend! Also, be sure to let me know if you find a deal that can’t be beat. I’m ready to shop! 🙂

From simple no-cook Bento box lunches, to layered Big-Ass salads, to big-batch recipes that provide dinner and lunch the next day, we’ve got you covered. Pack something good every day of the week with these go-to Primal lunchbox ideas. Big-Ass Salads Put together several Big-Ass salads and store them in glass mason jars so you can grab the pre-made salads for lunch throughout the workweek. Dressing goes in the bottom of the jar and the salad ingredients are layered on top. This keeps everything crisp and fresh, even if you pack the salad a few days in advance. When you’re ready to eat lunch, dump the contents into a bowl and voila! You’ve got yourself a Big-Ass salad. Tips For Packing Jar Salads: Use quart-sized jars for main course salads and pint jars for side salads Wide mouth jars are easiest to pack Most mason jar salads can be packed up to 3 day

Update On Gus

I can’t tell if Gus is pleased or annoyed that Birch can crawl. B is suddenly very curious about Gus and goes over to poke him all day long. Birch is also C O V E R E D in dog hair all day, erry day now. And this means that whenever we pick him up, we get covered in it too. Heeeelllppp! I guess I need to up my vacuum game. Gus Tore His ACL We have some news on Gus. He went for a hike with Thomas and Mazen recently and the next day he was limping quite badly. But the day after that he was totally fine. Then we noticed a small limp again after a lot of activity that went away as fast as it came. We figured he was having some joint inflammation that we would keep a close eye on. Then after a third field trip he could barely walk the next day and Thomas took him to the vet that afternoon. Turns out he (very likely) tore his ACL and will need surgery. His surgery is tomorrow . He will be having a Modified Maquet Procedure (known as MMP in the vet world). If the procedure goes well, he
