Chatbooks Review

I ordered my Chatbooks a little over a week ago, when they were going through a crazy time with a massive influx of orders...but they still came in the mail very quickly! 

I ordered mine from the app on my phone and it was super easy to use, very straight forward and simple.

You can choose the cover photos you want for each "Volume" I ordered 4 volumes, each with 60 pages of pictures back and front!

Here are a few shots from the inside of the Chatbooks!

& 

Unlike instagram they actually put the day, month and year the photo was posted on Instagram instead of saying "125 weeks ago" as if you remember that specific date...

You can edit your captions or keep them as their originals. I chose to just keep the original captions instead of going through and changing all of them because I figured it was part of the memory anyways!

Here is a picture of the side binding of each book. You get to create the title you want on each volume. I put "Zack & Sydney" as a way to connect it to my blog and because I use my instagram more than Zack does, the photos are both of our memories!

You can also do a custom book without using your instagram photos and you can visit their website on how to do that (I will link their website below). I know I will be doing one of my bump progression pictures, or just pictures of the belly throughout the whole pregnancy.

I cannot wait to add these little books onto my coffee table at our new place which we will be starting to move within a month or so. I cannot wait to set these books out on display. So much more personal than a random coffee table book. There is something I love about having photos tangible instead of on the computer or on the phone. I absolutely love these books.

Each volume contains 60 pages back and front of your photos and each volume costs 6 dollars. Not bad & definitely worth every penny!

I am so happy I did this! I plan to do a lot more in the future!

What We Did This Weekend

This weekend was not as hectic as last...no more driving back and forth from San Diego to San Clemente. We figured we would just stay down here this weekend and relax. Friday night we had a pretty early night, we went to the grocery store because I somehow had eaten all of our vegetables, that's all I have been wanting to eat lately. So we did some grocery shopping, I made Zack a Sun-dried tomato Chicken panini with avocado, basil, mayo, and mozzarella and I had some cabbage with chicken cooked in coconut oil and a teeny bit of soy sauce. I also bakes some brussels sprouts so we each had about 4 brussels sprouts.

 Oh yeah, can't forget the sriracha, so good on cabbage! Love it. Sprinkle some green onions on top and you have yourself a bowl of yummy. 

Saturday morning we wanted to get out and go do something, we didn't feel like taking Oak to dog beach so we drove to Balboa Park. It was nice because we went pretty early so there wasn't too many large crowds and we were able to walk around a good portion of it! 

Some pictures of our little family at Balboa Park on Saturday! We came home, I had a salad for lunch and I wasn't feeling to hungry around dinner time so I just had some carrots and Zack went and got Chick-fil-A for himself.

Sunday morning (this morning) we woke up pretty early, relaxed, had breakfast in bed and then took Oak on a walk around the neighborhood for a while. Today we are gonna run to Home-Goods and pick out a few little things there and probably run a few errands while we are out. I will update you guys with any more pictures I may have later today. 

In the mean time I always update my instagram so check that out if you want!

Meals and Things!

Things are finally settling down after the holidays, Zack's family from Utah were visiting since a few days after Christmas and went back to Utah this past Saturday evening. Zack has been working and I have been trying to get the house ready for my last full-time semester and catching up on laundry and some deep cleaning (oh yeah, baseboards and everything). So I haven't had much time to blog, but I am working my way back into a routine since everything is going back to normal!

Zack and our pup attacking each others hands in his parents back yard :)

A Couple Meals We Have Prepared Recently!

Zack was craving Cheddar Broccoli Soup from Panera the other night, but because that isn't Gluten Free we had to improvise to meet his cravings! So we made an amazing Cheddar Broccoli Soup and it's 100% Gluten Free! It also lasted a few days because there were left-overs that we put into containers and were able to make a few meals out of it!

CHEDDAR BROCCOLI SOUP

We made the soup with a simple Caesar Salad and of course, Zack wanted some croutons...so once again we improvised and I made some Gluten Free Croutons for our Gluten Free Caesar Salad!

CAESAR SALAD

We were procrastinating on getting groceries so we had a few random things left over and I was able to make a delicious Gluten Free BBQ Chicken Pizza. It was a last minute lunch idea and was soooo yummy! I love thin-crust pizza and this one hit the spot!

BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA 

Last night Zack went out for Taco Tuesday with his friend so I made a salad for myself for dinner.

I made a Grilled Chicken Apple Salad. It was amazing, I made the candied pecans and added Gorgonzola Cheese to it with some home-made dijon vinaigrette. 100% Gluten Free as always and definitely satisfied my salad craving for the night! The apples just add so much flavor!

CHICKEN APPLE SALAD 

Last night, Zack and I caught up on The Bachelor and I am so excited, the best part about the show is to see all the crazy women and their true colors eventually come out. It is a small guilty pleasure, this season looks like it promises some serious crazies! YES! Haha.

I hope everyone is getting settled for the New Year and enjoying their week so far! Add me on instagram @SydneySedillo I would love to see what everyone else is up to as well! I always love talking to you guys.

Christmas Pictures and Blogmas Day 4

4th Day of Blogmas

I thought I would share with you guys what Zack, Oak and I did on Sunday afternoon with my siblings and my mom. We took family Christmas Pictures!!! WOOOO! My mom has the CD of all the pictures, I plan on showing you guys more, but for now I will show you the ones that I have!!!

We haven't taken family pictures in forever, it is weird to see how much we have all changed. My brothers are getting too big!

My sister, My mom and I

Front: My Mom and my Brothers

All of us again!

This is definitely not all of the pictures, we went to other locations and Zack and I took some with our pup so I plan on sharing those with you guys when I get a hold of them! 

My sister and my brother, just taking our own pictures while we had a few seconds ;)

Thought I would also share a picture collage from my instagram of Zack, Oak and I on a walk on our favorite street during the holidays! This whole street goes all out!

These pictures obviously do not do it justice at all! 

But it is a gingerbread town...I feel like an elf when I am there. We walk there pretty much every night during the month of December. Our pup tends to freak out a bit whenever the Santas on the lawns start singing or when the light-up reindeers starting moving their heads! The other night I grabbed a candy cane off the tree and all three of us headed over to the street to check it out. 

I love this season:)

Do any of you go all out for Christmas with your homes? I can't wait until we can!

Our Extra-Long Weekend!

HEY READERS!

We had a long weekend that started on Thursday last week...in short, I cleaned the house, did laundry, packed our stuff up in the car and drove up to San Clemente on Thursday afternoon around 2:30 pm. We went to visit my mom's boutique and see my brothers and then drive over to my dads house. Zack, Oak, and I stayed in the spare room at my dads house. 

Friday morning, we woke up, had breakfast with my dad, got ready for the day and went and walked around del mar where my mom's store is located. I got my hair trimmed next door at the salon and Zack walked Oak down to the pier. We then went to visit Zack's parents and went to dinner with them. We were exhausted and just wanted to sleep in our own bed so we drove an hour back down to our house in San Diego to sleep!

We woke up on Saturday morning, got showered and ready and all three of us jumped back in the car to head back up to San Clemente to watch my brother's soccer game that started at 1pm. We love watching him play and it is always more enjoyable when it isn't so hot out! Especially for those poor lil' guys out on the field. 

So here is kind of a few pictures of what our weekend entailed....

Zack was hosing down my mom's patio and Oak, being the water-hater that he is, hid in the bushes...totally camouflaged. Can't even spot him;).

Trying to sneak a picture of Oak and I at my Dad's house on Saturday morning....wasn't gonna happen. This pup senses the camera and bails!

Driving back up to visit our families on Saturday morning and to watch my brother's game. Giving the puppy some lovins'.

Oak facing the wrong way guarding Zack and I at my brother's soccer game.

Just a quick picture as the boys are all on the other side of the field:)

Saturday night, Zack, Oak, and I came back home and Zack and I watched some of "This is the End" and we stopped it half way through and went to sleep because I was exhausted. He had already seen it, but I hadn't so we finished it in the morning. Seriously, so funny! I love all of those actors and it was hysterical!!!

Sunday morning, we woke up and finished the movie, got ready, went grocery shopping, put groceries away, took a nap (which we never do) and woke up and just relaxed, had dinner, all those relaxing Sunday chores....you know how it goes. Then we got in bed around 10:45 pm and Zack started Iron Man 3 on his lap top. I swore I was going to go to bed, but I had to watch it. I made him stop it about an hour into the movie so we could finish it tonight! Haha!

Let me know what you guys would like to see next, I always get some email requests but feel free to also comment below and let me know!

What did you guys do this weekend? Let me know! I love to hear from you! 

Meals From This Past Week and What We Did Saturday!

This week was another long week! Did it feel long to you guys too? I don't know, maybe it's just me and having nights as late as 1:30 and waking up at 5:30 the next morning throughout the week. For some reason it just felt long.

Well this week included a lot of cooking, but I will just include a few of the meals I made this week.

Below are just a few of the recipes I made this week and a picture of my day yesterday and what I spent my Saturday doing!

Homemade Gluten Free Chicken Fried Rice

I cooked the cut up chicken breast in a small amount of coconut oil, salt, and peppered the chicken.

Add the boiled rice to the pan that had the chicken in it and pour desired amount of gluten free soy sauce on top of the rice.

Mix it all together!

I added two eggs to one edge of the pan....

Whisk the eggs and let them cook on the edge of the pan.

Mix in the cooked eggs with the combined rice and chicken.

Add the steamed veggies to the pan!

There you have it! Quick and easy meal, throw it all together, add as much soy sauce as you like and serve! 

Moving on to the next meal we had this week, it was more of a dessert that I made during the week because I saved our bananas that were too ripe to eat!

Gluten Free Banana Bread, 1 Plain Loaf and 1 Chocolate Chip Loaf!

As you can see I had already cut into the chocolate chip loaf one and ate it with Zack before I had taken this picture.

This is what the plain loaf turned out like.

Overall, with preparation the recipe took under and hour, the cook time in the oven was obviously the longest part! That and waiting for it to cool of course ;)!

A Quick Dinner We Threw Together: Rice, Balsamic Sautéed Chicken, and Parmesan Asparagus 

So that is how our quick dinner turned out, it was super yummy and it was full of asparagus, that was definitely the largest food group on our plates, VEGGIES!

If anyone is curious about the actual recipes and their cook times and the exact ingredients I used just let me know in the comments and I can type the up really quickly, no problem:)!

Everything I made here did not take much time at all, because I had such a busy week at school and did not have time to really prepare many big meals. So I thought I would just let you take a peak at a few meals we came up with on the spot this week!

Yesterday

Yesterday Zack and I drove home to San Clemente to watch my little brother play in his soccer game. He scored two goals and his team won! I felt bad for those little guys out there though, it was so warm, it was in the high 80's and you could just see they were exhausted and thirsty the whole time!

Here is a picture I posted on my instagram (SydneySedillo) yesterday of Oak and I watching my brother play! Luckily I found some shade or else the poor pup would've been miserable in the heat!

So cute! Look at how he is watching the team play!

What did you guys do this weekend? 

Happy Sunday Evening!

Let's get ready for this week!!!
