I am proud to be a PSU alumna for many, many reasons. None top this weekend’s reason, though — THON. It is the largest student-run philanthropy and raises money in the fight against pediatric cancer. This year Penn State raised:
That makes well over $100 million raised to date. Incredible. I spent much of my weekend time watching the live stream and made a last minute donation (I’ve always seemed to do this as an alum).
In other happy news, Tim and I have decided to treat House of Cards like a weekly series so we don’t go through withdrawal too soon. We had a HOC date Saturday night. The show keeps getting better.
We’re serious about the show…
On Saturday, I met up with a law school friend in town. Needless to say, I did not eat paleo at Lou Malnati’s. Unless you count cesar salad, fried calamari and deep dish pizza as paleo… I did get back on the workout and paleo train right afterwards.
And on Sunday morning, I inadvertently made paleo oatmeal. Almond flour + 1 egg + 1 smashed banana + water is all it took and it was deeeeeelish!
I’ve never been more excited to “mess up” a meal.
But it still didn’t beat the excitement I felt while watching THON.
Featured on Associated Press as a trailblazing Latina influencer and on Parents as a Latina mom to follow, Jacqueline Hernandez Lewis is a writer and content creator celebrating womanhood, motherhood and humanity. She also works for a NYC nonprofit dedicated to preventing domestic violence and promoting gender justice. Of all her roles, mom and wife are her favorite.
I couldn't resist and have already finished Season 2 of HOC haha!
That oatmeal looks delicious! I really need to jump on this House of Cards train!
