So I bought a spiralizer forever ago, and stuffed it somewhere in my pantry and forgot all about it…until the other day! We have tons of squash and zucchini in our garden, and sautéing it with onions gets old. So far I’ve only tried this recipe (http://vegangela.com/2011/09/05/fresh-tomato-basil-and-lemon-zucchini-pasta/) twice and really like it because it’s fast, easy,… Continue reading New Kitchen Toy
Q: What is worse than swim suit shopping? A: Maternity swim suit shopping. Q: What is worse than maternity swim suit shopping? A: Post-natal swim suit shopping! As you may already know, or might easily guess, having a baby definitely changes your body in many ways…most (all???) of which are rather unflattering! And no matter how… Continue reading Want to Change Your Life?
I had a great weekend catching up with one of my college roomies and Maid of Honor at our wedding. We also had several good sessions of “Brow Therapy” as we dubbed it. And as we read somewhere online, “…drawing eyebrows on babies; finally a reason to have kids!” LOL! Is it wrong that it’s… Continue reading Looks like somebody has a case of The Mondays!
Do you have a sweet tooth you are constantly trying to satisfy? If you answered yes, then I have a treat for you (pun intended)! I stumbled on a great little dessert last night that was super-fast, super easy, and reasonably healthy! Some of y’all may have already had this “ice cream,” but if you’ve… Continue reading Sweet Tooth? Banana Ice Cream Sundae with Chocolate Sauce!
Dang! Cliché I know, but time with #2 passes even faster than with #1! It’s incredible that Rex is already 2 months old today. He’s such a big boy! I weighed him last week and he was almost 14lb! That’s about 5lb in 8 weeks! That’s a lot for anyone, but especially a little newborn… Continue reading 2 months: Toots, First Trick & More!
Man, Landri is only 1/3 of a year away from being 2 years old which is completely insane. What’s even more insane is that we have a second kid now, Rex, who will be 2 months old tomorrow! It only seems to get more and more chaotic and I seem to be handling it a… Continue reading 20 months: Todd-Zilla Update, First ER Trip & More!
As I mentioned in an earlier post, right now I’m extra swamped trying to figure out the whole toddler-and-a-newborn thing, and it’s hard to find the time to cook healthy meals for my family which is a huge priority of mine now more than ever. I decided that I’m going to start a database of… Continue reading Megan’s Meal Plan #1
I remember when Landri turned 6 weeks… overnight it seemed like she blossomed into a baby from a sleepy newborn and began smiling, and the same thing has just happened to our little Rex! Love him! Hope this makes you smile this Monday morning too! http://youtu.be/_Yd08_apt_k
It’s been a while since we’ve had any Scott quotes or parental advice and today is your lucky day. A couple of years ago, one of my girlfriends and I started a list of some of our favorite quotes and advice that our husbands have said (and actually meant). I won’t say which quotes are Scott’s and… Continue reading 99 Ways
Scott has been hard at work preparing our summer garden! Here, Landri helps her Daddy water it (the squeaks in the background are Rex, LOL): http://youtu.be/_xo4Q4k1Pzk. This year Scott is growing zucchini, squash, tomatoes, peppers, jalapenos, a couple lettuce varieties, Swiss chard, beans, okra, and cantaloupe! We’ve also been composting all winter to add to… Continue reading 2014 Garden
