I'm back in Northern Virginia for the weekend to spend time with the family and celebrate my nephew's first birthday! I got in last night and it has already been non-stop. I had a late night chatting and catching up with my mom, which I could not be more thankful for our relationship.
Since I don't have my car here as I flew, I dropped my mom off at work this morning. Being Halloween, each of the teachers dressed up as a storybook character. Pinkalicious is a youth book that supposedly is all the rage (I obviously don't keep up enough with children's books) and this fierce lady pulled it off perfectly.

Taking my mom to school somehow put me in the position to help out at their Pep Rally for the students this morning. And by help out I mean that they needed me to be the school mascot, Rocky the Robin. Here I am in all my glory.
I don't know how my mom talked me into it, but it was a fun experience to say the least. And boy do those kids really love their mascot!
After my 15 minutes of fame, more like 30 seconds, I hit the road to spend some time with this little man.

I may be a bit biased, but my siblings make some adorable kids! I get to hang out with both my nephews today so I couldn't be happier.
One of the other greatest things about home is the food. My mom cooks some pretty awesome food and I don't mind eating as much as I can. When my mom and I left this morning my dad was eating this for breakfast.

Yes, those are black beans. Now many of you might cringe at the thought of eating something that doesn't seem like a breakfast food in the morning. However, getting over that can very often help you make better decisions throughout the day. I often tell patients not to limit themselves to specific foods for certain meals because they can find themselves in a rut and bored with food options. If you allow yourself any food you can imagine you will many times be more satisfied and have better balanced meals.
Are there any foods that you eat at different times that may not be deemed for that meal? Who loves eggs for dinner?!
