September 2nd - The Eazy Peazy Weekly - Best. Fans. Ever!

Hey Friend,

If you read nothing else today, let this sink in:

👉 Meals will be ready on TUESDAY this week.

Now before you panic-text me (and I love you for that loyalty), let me explain. Why? Because this mama needed a little sanity break on Monday (shocker, I know), plus food operations in the valley were delayed. And listen, rather than stress myself into a coma trying to juggle humans + food logistics, we’re just rolling with it. Tuesday it is!!

It’s been a wonderful week. 

My bestie had a birthday, and we surprised road-tripped to McCall. Kayaked the gorgeous Meanders, laughed so hard my abs still hurt, and soaked in the kind of memories that no one ever regrets. We stopped for lunch - terrible choice BTW, do not go to Spit Fire. (You’re welcome for the heads-up.They are just opening and have A LOT to figure out first…their servers never bringing the correct order, their over flowing toilets and portion sizes way off. Take it from me, don’t go or just wait for a long time!) But that’s part of the story, right? The wrong food and never getting my right drink,  just make the good memories shine brighter, right?!? 

Then I raced back into town because, drumroll, it was Misses & Mimosas at the boys’ school for their football team. Yes, that magical tradition where moms sip champagne and then TACKLE their children in front of the entire team. Now, would it have been hilarious to go full send and take my sophomore and senior OUT? Absolutely. But my Allemand luck says I would’ve ended up on crutches by Tuesday. So instead, I tackled gently, we laughed a ton, and stood staring at my senior’s banner on the fence thinking, “HOW are we here already?”

Somewhere between crying over football and laughing with friends, I also fed the entire football team their pregame meal. Because apparently my middle name is “Sure, I can do that too.” But at least those boys had manners so good it almost made me tear up - coaches, thank you for that gift.

And through all this chaos? My family still ate like kings.

• Lemon Pasta → gone in seconds.
• Sweet & Spicy Gochujang Chicken Bowls → gone in seconds AND gave me superhero mom vibes. "Mom, please make this one again!"
• Chicken Parm and Meatloaf turned into meatballs (because hello, leftovers → meal-prepped lunches making both boys extremely happy).

Not a single fast-food drive-thru. Not a single moment of mom guilt. Just bellies full and everyone fueled.

And that, my friend, is the whole point.

Football season has officially kicked off and let me tell you. I. AM. FIRED. UP. 🙌 I looooooove football. Like, not just love,  we’re talking borderline unhealthy, “should probably be studied by science” levels of love. I was supposed to be on a fantasy team this year, but let’s just say I missed draft day, feelings got hurt, and… yeah, we’re moving on before I get flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct.

This week’s reminder? Show up for the things that matter most. For me, that looked like sitting in the stands with Arn, rocking our BK hats, grinning like fools while cheering on our boys. Marriage, kids, their big moments — that’s the stuff you can’t get back.

And you know what I wasn’t doing? Stressing about dinner. Because honestly, who wants to miss the good stuff in life just to panic over what’s on the table? Nope. I’m all about being present, soaking it in, and letting the dinner stress go, because it's already PREPPED & READY TO GO!! #boomshakalaka

Sincerely and Love,

Nikki
