30 Weeks

How Far Along: 30 weeks Size of Baby: From head to heel, 15.7 inches. (: Total Weight Gain/Loss: I’m only up 14lbs! We’ll see how long this nice slow weight gain keeps up… Maternity Clothes: I’m only wearing maternity pants, but I can wear some non-maternity elastic waisted shorts and non-maternity tops. I broke down [...]

Wait, so this is it?

I am for sure one of those people who is never truly satisfied with what they have. Honestly, most often I don’t really see it as a problem. It often is disguised as ambition, or being eager and motivated to move on to the next thing life holds for my family…a new house, vehicles, or [...]

This baby is turning me into a BIG baby.

Wow. This is getting ridiculous. Like the title says, I feel like an enormous toddler right now! Why, I could even be tempted to throw myself (gently) onto the floor right now and flail my arms and legs like a 3 year old screaming “BUT I WAAAANNNNNAAAAA!!!!” if I thought it might work. Seriously. Where [...]

26 Weeks

How Far Along: 26 weeks Size of Baby: From head to heel, 14 inches. (: Total Weight Gain/Loss: I’m up about 13lbs! Maternity Clothes: I can only wear maternity pants now, but I’m still wearing nearly all non-maternity shirts. Since I’m tall, I already had a ton of long tops! Gender: As far as we [...]

I AM a grownup. I am, I am, I AM!!!!!

Some days (like this one) I just can’t believe that Daryl and I have been married for almost 6 years, we’ve been Momma and Daddy for almost 4 1/2 years, and in August we’ll no longer have “a child” …we’ll have “children”. When did I grow up? When did I become responsible? When did I [...]

I think my husband is a werewolf.

So, my husband (a.k.a. suspected werewolf) and I had three movie “date” nights on the sofa at home watching the three Twilight movies last week. I’m no Twilight super-fan, but I do enjoy those movies as just what they are – movies. I haven’t read the books, I don’t go to the movie premiers dressed as [...]

20 Weeks

How Far Along: 20 weeks Size of Baby: 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel (the length of a banana) and weighs 10.5 oz! Total Weight Gain/Loss: I’m up 6lbs! Maternity Clothes: I’m loving the maternity pants, but still have lots of regular shirts that work [...]

I need no rust in my life.

BEFORE: The previous owners painted this railing green in 1983. Or at least that’s how it looked! We’ve been living with it like this since we bought our home, but now that Spring is upon us (and we want to spend more time out on the deck!) I decided to finally take on the tedious [...]

Fried Shredded Chicken Tacos

Okay, I’ll be perfectly honest here. This is totally an adaptation of The Pioneer Woman’s totally deliciouso Chicken Taco recipe! I read it on her blog a few days ago but just couldn’t get past the idea of making tacos with chunks of chicken breast instead of shredded chicken. It just seems so un-Mexican-food-ish. So, [...]
