Sweet Tooth

By
We all know Mr Smith's sweet tooth, and how I let him have his ways, sometimes. I made the cookies he likes so much because I actually like them too and they last awhile without getting hard or going bad (although nothing beats a chocolate chip cookie right out of the oven). It's apparently the recipe his mom always used growing up and we know Eric, why branch out when we have something that works? I also took pictures of some "eclair" style bite-sized cupcakes (pudding in the middle). 
Drool now, hate me later. 


sorry for the bad picture. we were running out the door.
I did refrain from purchasing ice cream for Mr Smith, so we're going probably 10 days on no ice cream in the Smith household.  His choice not to go to the store. I'm making a grocery budget soon, not just "$200 a month" said budget, because we just end up buying what we need and hoping it stays under that. I really really want us to think about what we need and plan the meals out. Ugh I dread it. People have given me so many tools to do so and pins are added constantly regarding the stuff, but it'll really just take me going through my receipts and recipes.

We're patiently waiting

Picture Mr Smith putting together the pack-n-play. He was so cute. Mostly when he had to read the directions. Do we have a child? Don't ask such silly questions. Hopefully it won't collect too much dust in 5.5 months. We're ready now . . . (but not really) It has a changing thing and a removable bassinet that vibrates.  I'm okay with not needing a changing table.  It will probably mean we won't get a crib for awhile too.  Next we need to hear from our baby/exercise friends a good car seat & jogging stroller (maybe ones that work together)... Any favorites? Then a blanket . . . Then a breast pump . . . Then a diaper bag. . .  Then lots of diapers, toys & cute clothes.  And even a mobile.  Then they get older and there's even more things. Mr Smith is just so thrilled. I'd love to hear about any products that you recommend/absolutely love having. Here is one thing you can do to annoy Mr Smith: go ...

First day at home photo Dear Lexi,  We couldn't handle holding you inside my stomach for another minute. We made an appointment when the contractions never came. Things were changing, but you were still 7 days late. Maybe we were eager parents, but now that we have you in our arms, we understand why, really understand. You're amazing . By the time we showed up at your 6 AM hospital appointment to be induced, I was already 3.5 cm dilated & 90% effaced & having mild contractions. So mild I thought I might have had high pain tolerance because I didn't feel th...

We Remember... All the Time We... Spent Together

By
My 1-1 days are shortly coming to an end with my oldest who decided to have more time with me and her youngest sibling this past year & I'll forever be grateful for that. I'm never ready for them to grow up and give most their time & attention to everyone else.  Again, we are excited for another phase & this time she gets to be the big kid coming back with more rest & confidence to wrap up her middle school years going part-time for 8th grade. Will busy work burn out still be a concern? Will "learning" in a noisy & crude environment still be a concern? Will losing more of her childhood still be a concern? Yes, yes and yes. However, she knows how to choose good friends, she knows how to work hard, and she knows she enjoys structure & peer competition coming from outside the home. I don't know if she'll push herself to participate more in sports, or find new opportunities elsewhere, but that's the blessings of this life - there are al...
