Piler vs Pack Rat

4:15 PM
My husband and I have been unpacking, storing, tossing, and setting aside. While this obviously isn't our first move, it's the first place we've moved where a Yard Sale is in our future and our last move until our *fingers crossed* final move. Or at least out last move before our first move across the country *fingers still crossed*.Within this move, we've come...

Teriyaki Pork Chops with Vegetable Skewers

4:07 PM
So, I've been craving things from the grill. Perhaps it's because lately our temperatures have been nearing the 60s. Maybe it's because things cooked on the grill are generally healthy.Whatever the true reason, I decided to use our broiler as a substitute... but I imagine these will be even more delicious come summer time!TERIYAKI PORK CHOPSSupplies:- 1 lb lean, center cut pork chops-...

Michael's Sleep Regression

6:32 PM
Nowadays when people ask me if Michael's a good sleeper, I hesitate.Do they mean easy to get to sleep, or easy once he's in his deep sleep?For the past week or so Michael has had an awful time going to sleep. We'd be in bed for close to an hour before he'd wake up, back arched, legs and arms going this way and...

Easy Lasagna

8:06 PM
Last night was Italian night and I thought I'd finally try some true lasagna! Now, I didn't do everything from scratch. As a mom of a four month old I find it impossible to believe that anyone would unless they have a full time nanny or stay-at-home-husband/dad. While mine did not turn out quite how I wanted it to, I know what went...

Four Months Old!

8:47 AM
On January 7th, Michael was officially four months old. I waited to post so I could give a full report!Michael is now 24.25 inches long! He weighs 11 lbs, 13 oz. Unfortunately this is not exactly prime, so we're working towards Michael gaining some extra weight before his six months check up. Say some prayers that he can catch up!Although I am happy...

Rumparooz Cloth Diapers

1:05 PM
When we were visiting my family in Kansas for Christmas, my older sister and beautiful niece were there (my brother in-law sadly had to work). My older sister had told me she had switched to cloth diapers to save money. To me it just kind of sounded silly, to be perfectly honest, the first time we talked about it. I imagined her folding/pinning...

There are changes in the wind...

1:29 PM
Happy 2012!It is crazy to think that another year has come and gone. I still find myself wishing I could write "2011" on anything that needs a date. Of course, it is only the third day of 2012, so I'd say I can give myself some time before I get with the program.There are many things within these first few days, and weeks,...
