weekend

ok,
so trying to post everyday.. just isn't happening.. so im going to try for every other day.. and once on weekends.. so m,w and sunday?

that might work out more.

this weekend wasn't too eventful.. we were supposed to have lunch with some  friends sunday.. but they ended up getting sick.

I made some glass cookies.. those cookies that have jelly in the center.. I got the recipe from http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Jelly-Cookies/Detail.aspx

I've made them before.. these ones were not as soft as last time because I got distracted with the baby and baked them a little too long.. but they were still pretty amazing..

so now I get to eat these cookies.. with my friend Sara.. since our lunch plans fell through.

my sister-in-law is staying with us for a couple days.. so she can spend time with the baby.. she hasn't gotten to see him too much.. she was awake long enough to eat dinner and change a diaper.. then she fell asleep.lol.

tomorrow we are planning to go out somewhere as a family.. I'm not sure where yet.. but we are gonna try to get out of the house for a couple hours.

We have been watching the show "the bible" although its not completely accurate.. its still a good show.. I enjoy watching it.

I am growing a celery plant with some old celery that went limp.. and I'm gonna try growing the avocado fro the pit as well.. wish me luck..

well I'm going to go for now.. the baby is fighting sleep..  good night everyone!

check up

So today was my sons 2 month checkup.. he recieved 3 shots and 1 oral medicine. he only cried for about 5 mins.. my poor boy :(
on a better note... he was 24 in. and 12lbs. 6.5oz  (not sure on ounces abbr).. he's in the 97% for height and weight.

so i didn't get to post yesterday.. i just didn't have the time.. baby was very fussy last night.
but I'm posting today.

hmmm.. sooooooo.... what should i post?

yesterday i did a ton of laundry... like now i do laundry every other day.. instead of just once a week.. and today i got a couple items at the grocery store with my WIC coupons..

at first i was a little ashamed to go on WIC.. but i quickly got over that.. i paid my due.. and went places and did jobs that others would not want to do.. so why not use what the government is offering?

I've been looking up new recipes as well.. i made an oatcake last night.. but instead of just having oats in it.. i added natural peanut butter and chocolate chips.. i know now its not healthy.. but it is better than stuffing my face with ice cream and chips every time i have a sweet tooth.

i am gonna work on a weekly meal plan this weekend.. and hopefully we can stick to it.. and I'm trying to go to sleep earlier.. the only problem with getting up earlier.. is no one is up with me.
but i suppose it will give me more time to read and work on crocheting.. I'm trying to make a scarf.. i know its a little late in the season.. but at the pace I'm taking.. it wont be done til next fall lol.

i tried just learning a few stitches.. but that was taking too long.. so i just dove right into an easy scarf pattern.. and my sister sent me a link to free patterns as well..

I'm also planning on making some candles for my sisters craft fair in April.. that will happen next week.. after i get the containers to put the candles in .. oh! if you haven't seen her blog/shop yet.. check it out.. my sister sells her crochet and other homemade goods in her etsy shop.

my sisters etsy shop!

my sisters blog

please stop by her sites and check it out.

well i've come up with nothing else to say.. so i guess i will just post again later.. if i can think of anything.. and you have a great night!

working on it

hi again!

so i'm working on writing in my blog everyday until it is so routine that I can cut it down every other day.  so far I have done it 2 days in a row.. yay me!.

well today I was looking up some healthy recipes and gardening ideas.. my friend and I are going to make a garden in  the back yard.. we haven't come to an agreement as to how the garden will be set up but we have begun to come up with a list of what we want to plant.  we want a flower garden and a vegetable garden..
here is a list of veggies so far:

potatoes (of course)
green beans
tomatoes
peppers
onions
broccoli
caulifour
carrots(the multicolor kind)
lettuce(fancy kind)
cabbage
corn
garlic
peas
sweet potatoes

and we want to plan fruit:
strawberries
blackberries
peaches
figs

herbs:
chamomile
Rosemary
basil
mint
cilantro
lavender

and flowers.. now I know this is a huge list.. but we are gonna start off with a little from each category.. and grow from their. 
we haven't decided on flowers yet.. but we are working on it.

we just have to figure out how we want to design the garden..

I'm hoping we can start next month.. fingers crossed.

well that's all for now.. check in for more tomorrow

bye!

Its been a while

Well ive been away for a while.. and my little boy is the reason why.  Im still getting used to the whole mom thing and trying to find a healthy routine. On the seventh my little boy will be 2 months old.

I've been trying to learn how to crochet.   Purchased a book with some patterns and lessons in it. So far I can make a keychain lol.
I am also trying to eat more healthy. I Will start going to the gym next month since the baby will be old enough for the daycare at the gym.
Im gonna start out with walking and maybe light weights . 

My little man is getting to big I can't believe how big he is getting..   im predicting he will 12 pounds at his 2 month checkup. My mom recently came to visit and spend time with her first grandson. We didnt do much.. but we did get to go to the aquarium which amazing.. (more pics later)
I really loved having her here and cant wait to see her again.

Well thats it for now.. I will be posting again tomorrow.

ive

lots have been happening!

im well aware that I haven't posted in about 3 months..
well a lot has happened..

but i'm only gonna focus on the most recent.
on jan 7th we welcomed our son into the world! after waiting 10 hours for him to make an appearance.. we decided to have a C-section and make him come out.. we discovered that he hadn't even moved into the pelvic area.. he was jut hanging out in there.

he weighed 8lbs 6.5oz  and was 21 in. long.  I couldn't be happier.. he is so quiet and adorable.. he has his moments when he looks like either his father or me.. he hardly cries as well. and he is a mommas boy..

so my days have been filled with taking care of him... I still go a little stir-crazy being in the house all the time.. but the weather is getting better
