Happy Holidays

Hey guys! Hope everyone’s been getting into the Christmas spirit. I haven’t quite gotten back into the swing of things since November. I have, however, been coming up with some new recipes that I thought I’d take a minute to share.
The other day Josh and I were out to dinner and saw a flatbread pizza on the menu that looked easy enough to make- so I did. These little semi-homemade pizzas took only about 30 minutes to make and they were pretty darn good! Easy to make after a long day of work or easy little party appetizers. Here’s what you need.

2 TBL Olive Oil                                   2 cloves minced garlic
1 LB Chicken breast                           TBL Parsley
Salt                                                   Butter
Pepper                                              Pre-made pizza crust
Onion powder                                     Alfredo sauce of choice (I like Newman’s Own)
Shredded parmesan cheese

Heat the oil up in a skillet. While the oil is heating shake salt, pepper, and onion powder onto you chicken breasts to taste. I shake until I can see the seasonings. After the chicken has browned up, cut into one inch long strips and throw back into the skillet with minced garlic and parsley. Spread butter onto your pre-made pizza crusts (I hate homemade pizza crust) and broil until the butter bubbles. Spread 2 tablespoons of alfredo sauce onto the pizza crusts then layer with chicken and shredded cheese. Cook for 9 minutes at 450 and enjoy!

As for the 30 day photo challenge? I’m stuck on week 4! I might get a chance to get it done this weekend, but between Josh’s company’s holiday party, a cookie decorating class, and the making of 6 dozen cookies for my coworkers (3 types! will share after) I’m not sure it will get done. I did get 3 photos done that I needed to catch up on. I give you days 17-19 (long exposure, technology, shoes). Not really impressed with the shoe picture may need to re-do if I ever get some time.

Next week we’re off to NY, NY. I'm sooooo sooooo excited, but I am going to miss my family badly! I’ve got two other recipes to share and hopefully I’ll be back before Christmas, but if not Merry Christmas!

I thought I was fat

As a woman, I've always placed a lot of value into what I weigh and how I look. In the past few years especially I've been doing my best to move away from that, to focus on being healthy and feeling good, but those thoughts creep up for sure. It's my 6 week check in and I've lost 4 more pounds, so basically I still have 18 pounds to go. I started out these 6 weeks by going to the gym and only drinking water, but after week 2 Eli got sick for 2 weeks, then Anias got sick for 2 (make that 5...) weeks, then I got sick for 2 weeks, then Anias got an ear infection and would NOT sleep. He wouldn't fall asleep for 2 hours past bedtime and would wake up for hours. He's actually still doing this and he's still sick. Thursday he had a 101 fever so I took him in to the urgent care and his ear infection in his right ear did not go away. They put him on Augmentin and it just destroys his tummy. He actually vomited 3 times Friday on top of it all. I'm not used to thi...

We made it! And still no baby

The first 35 weeks I prayed Anias would stay put. I may have prayed a little too hard! Yesterday was Anias' due date. At this point Eli had already made his appearance. Anias is his own little man. We had a couple of days this past week where I was sure he was on his way, one in particular when I was having contractions every 10-15 minutes after steadily building all day. Alas, it didn't happen. I've been praying that he comes before our scheduled induction Sunday, but trusting in whatever happens. Our doula was discouraging induction since I haven't had any progress and it is typically harder on your body to be induced. However, I need my parents' help and they leave the 27th. I really want to take advantage of help while I transition from being mom of one to mom of two. I had a rough time emotionally when Eli came, and I know that's natural, but I still want to use my support system as much as possible and I'm so thankful they are here to help. Our doc...

Fit for a Princess

I know this is kind of bad, but I’m ready for summer to be over. I know, I know. I’m working on being content in the present, but I honestly can’t wait to see my family again (rocking some boots and sweaters wouldn’t be so bad either). I’m off to Denver in September and I’ll be in my hometown in Wyoming for Thanksgiving. I only get to see the family every 3 or 4 months so every time it’s like a special treat. They’re so fun! Speaking of which…I was talking to my sister Tiffany about throwing a birthday party for her daughter (my niece), Kali, while I’m home since Kali’s a November baby. Tiff was down for it, but she also wanted some help in re-decorating Kali’s room  and I can’t be any more excited. The idea for the very whimsical reno is to have a tree with some tangible flowers and branches. A dress-up station is also a must. Here’s some inspiration I’ve come across so far… Top to bottom, left to right: Lumme Designs Bed , Fairy Tale Bedroom found at Lyring , Linde Browning D...
