So clearly it's been a minute since I've posted on my blog. SO LONG that we aren't even a family of 3 anymore and haven't been for over a year! WHOOPS. I'm happy to be starting this week off right by a hot workout (thanks Shaun T/Cize) and a batch of protein bars that will … Continue reading Homemade (no bake) Protein Bars
Nap time! And putting Mari down was actually successful. Who knows how long I have here (cue dooming music..) It certainly has been a while. Once I put Mari down for a nap I knew what i had to decide; Blog or laundry? Blog wins!! Mostly because I saw something on my way home today … Continue reading Blog or Laundry?
Happy Saturday. It's been beautiful so far. Sunny, 65 degrees, no England winds at all. Mariella and I walked downtown, bought some prawns and crab and then came home. That's when sh** got scary and I basically had a coronary. I am now sitting here on the floor practically on top of our baby bouncer that … Continue reading Scary Baby Behavior
Mariella is napping, finally. After being awake from 6:30AM to 1:30PM, she took a 1 hour nap, and now she's down again at 4. I know I should be sleeping myself, but at this point in the day its just too late. My desire for sleep is lost, along with my will to find said … Continue reading Sleep, I Miss You!
The last few days with our new little princess have actually been great and minimally stressful. Shes an eat, sleep, poop kinda gal; no time for funny business. So much that she'd likely sit in her own pissy diaper for longer than you or I could stand to attempt lasting. Try her, I'm sure she'd … Continue reading The Mommy Meltdown
As most of you reading this know, we welcomed baby Mariella into this world on February 1, at 8:21 AM! She weighed 6 lb. 11 oz. and was 20". She didn't weigh/measure that anymore at her 48 hr post appointment (breastfeed babies lose weight at first) so i think her length and weight are completely … Continue reading Mommy Stuff, I’m Part of That Club!
In an attempt to stay on my feet and beg gravity to help bring this princess into the world, I decided to bake. I keep saying that I love getting older because I get so much better at baking every year. Maybe it's the practice… but I'd like to think it's simply my refined understanding, … Continue reading Texas Sheet Cake Cupcakes with Coconut Buttercream Frosting
On Saturday we went to Bury St. Edmunds, a larger town about 15 miles south, for some shopping and food. It was a fantastic outing!! Sorry, no pictures. Afterwards, we checked out some local points of interest in our town. Below are some pictures of the Monastery ruins up the road from us. The Priory. Thetford … Continue reading Some Pictures of the Thetford Area
Everything is finally calm and complete in our home. Christmas and New Years were quiet; they hardly even happened. Gatsby is home and has rarely left my side since he got here (I think he knows somethings coming...) And between constant exhaustion/insomnia/pains and keeping the house up here and there, I'm feeling guilty because I'm … Continue reading Obligatory Post
Hello friends and family! We are one week down in our house and it's actually starting to become a HOME! There have been more bumps in the road than either of us ever expected, but I'd like to think we're holding it together alright. Here's a brief overview: We've only had heat and/or water 50% … Continue reading You Can’t Bake Without Butter
