Opening Shop and Baby Prepping

I have been terrible at posting this week! With about 10weeks left until SweetPea makes her debut I have so much to do!
I would also like to announce that I am opening a little shop on etsy!! Which means my post won't be quite as frequent as before. There is so much excitement from not only getting everything ready for SweetPea but also making things for the shop! This is something I have wanted to do for several years, now my daughter is a huge inspiration which kicked me into gear.

Broccoli Quesadilla??

I would like to think that this will be toddler approved. Because I love it. And if I love it, SweetPea is going to have to eat it. Right? ;)

About a two weeks ago, I bought some broccoli to make Broccoli Cheddar Bites (don't worry at some point I will make this and give you the recipe!!). Needless to say I have not made the bites. I would like to blame it on the fact that my shredder is still lost in transition from moving. Either way I needed to use it, wanted to use it and am kinda craving it.

Food Safety During Pregnancy

This is very important!!

Now that you're expecting everything you eat effects that little one growing inside you. Remember in my post about gestational diabetes? Keep in mind that you need tons of fruits and vegetables to stay in top shape. But when it comes to meat, if your a die hard carnivore, you have to be very careful!

Picture Post

Here are a few fun pictures! Definitely still not in the best over all mood but these are some pretty fun pictures that I think you will enjoy.

Gramas

I love them.
They are fantastic.
Especially mine. Both of them.
I called my Grammy. My moms mom. I spent two hours and sixteen minutes talking with her. We haven't talked that long in a very very very long time. It was great, and so much fun. So now not only am I gong to be calling my mom almost every day, I'll also be talking to my Grammy at least two to three times a week.

While talking to my Grammy I had several confirmations. And there will be quite a few changes in my life. At some point I met tell you ALL of them, but for now, just one step at a time.

I'll be starting a diet tomorrow; very exciting and I'll be stepping my game up at work with the management program AND sales. Major stepping up of my game.

Okay! Gotta take some 'before pictures' and get groceries.

talk soon!!

Mellows..The Rest of them...

aww the pictures. I really do think this the most pictures I've ever posted. but oh my gosh. DO THEY LOOK AMAZING!!! 

And yes that is a random photo of my breakfast the morning that I finished my BEER mellows. It is a long drown out process but it's worth it. My reviews of the 'mallows were amazing. I have definitely found my love of cooking and photography and decorating. Not gonna lie. I've been in an amazing mood lately. 

Oh and guess what!

I bought shower hooks!! I went from this...

to THIS!!!

I have TONS more to talk about(as always) but this is crazy long, so I'll leave you with your mouth watering. 

;)

Mallows??

This gal made some marshmallows tonight.
Crown-Mellows. :)

The batter tasted amazing. But I forgot something... The light corn syrup. Although I have no good excuse I will say I was slightly flustered by a friend of a friend.

But hopefully they will still be amazing. I know that the Beer (you did read that correctly...BEER)-Mellows will be amazing. I offer a bit of advice, Heineken, is very carbonated. This beer I would suggest leaving out on the counter over night.

I'll be posting the recipe after I get my reviews on it. ;)

Oh another bit of advice:
             A fifth of Crown is exactly one cup. (according to my measure-rs though..)

Here are some pre-pictures for you!!

Lookie! My NEW: Bowl, Candy Thermometer, TWO 9x13 pans, and blender!! eek!!

Sugar and Crown

Bubbly...

yumm..

I am so very excited. Not to mention next they will be covered in chocolate and pretzels!! *swoon*


Well....
I think I owe you a bit of a recap of this week!

I will be switching from T-Mobile to Sprint and getting the iPhone 4. No 's', just 4. :)
My mommy and step-daddy will probably join my plan.
I've decided I would like a short term room mate. (I have got to get back on my feet, and being financially screwed over isn't a big help..)
I went in to work to day for a few hours to get some extra training in. I had a good time, and was able to get some work done on work for work and school work.


I forgot to take my sleeping pill again...and tan... Not happy about either of those things. I think I'm just going to have to buy tanning somewhere...

I lost three pounds!! Although after these marshmallows I'll probably gain it back. But I will be going grocery shopping...sometime soon(getting low on the grub), and I'll be getting much healthier choices. I love healthy.


I'm a healthy-eco gal.


I'm also a bee fanatic. HoneyBees are amazing. Don't forget that.(I'll give more details later)



Ugh, I HAVE to make myself get some sleep. Night!!

( By the way, I wrote this whole post sitting on my counter.. It's actually very relaxing. )
