Thoughts on Thursday
Hubs has been gone all week on business and I can't wait for him to come home today. I decided to head to my parents while he was gone to keep me busy and to help with the pups since I hurt my back last weekend (spending 3 hours cleaning, not good at 8 months pregnant). It's always nice to be home, eat family dinners and just spend quality time with my family. Mom and I made lots of things for AG's room and dad and I spent most of our time talking about life. While life at its best is difficult, one thing I know is how blessed I am with amazing parents. Even though it was ... read more

Our Journey to Parenthood
I've mentioned many times on the blog that hubs and I have had a long road to parenthood, but I've never come out and really talked about our journey. Not because I didn't want to talk about it, but because I was waiting for the right time. Finally, I feel like it's the right time. What many of you know is that I'm pregnant with a little princess, AG. Actually, 31 weeks pregnant today. We couldn't be more exited to welcome this miracle in a few short months. But, our journey to this place started 2 years ago. About a year after we were married, we ... read more

SUYL: Kitchens
Today I'm linking up with Kelly's Korner for Show Us Your Life Friday. She's started a home tour series and the focus this week is kitchens. Our kitchen is probably one of my favorite rooms in the house. Since I love to cook and bake, it's where I spend most of my time. When we moved in just over two year ago, the kitchen is the room that needed the most work. We made a list of everything we wanted to do and one by one started checking things off the list. Most of our accents are red and we've incorporated a lot of wine into the decor. Here is what our ... read more
Book Review: I’ve Got Your Number
I’m a big fan of Sofia Kinsilla books. They’re quick reads and always have a cute story. This latest Kinsella novel looked like a fun and lighthearted read, which is why I downloaded it. After spending lots of time reading baby information, it’s exactly what I needed. Although the storyline was a bit predictable, I was pleased with the delivery. The main character, Poppy was easy to relate to and very likable. The premise of the story is that she lost her engagement ring, along with her phone. She couldn’t find the ring, let alone call anyone to ... read more
