The friendliest place for moms and moms-to-be!
This is our dinner tomorrow night. Well, quick dinner. As you may know, we’re up in Corpus Christi for a family wedding, and we were looking for an awesome deal to eat between the “Church” part and the “Party” part. We got a winner! (Read the fine print… Online only!)
Last week my husband and I got away for our very first trip without the children. My mother-in-law was amazing enough to offer to stay with the boys. We were super nervous to be away from them but they were fine, of course.
We flew out on Wednesday and we were wrong in thinking that just because we arrived in San Francisco by 1:00 p.m. that we would be able to do some wine tasting that afternoon. It was over two hours before we were able to even get out of the airport. With waiting for our bags and standing in line for an hour to pick up our rental car, we didn’t get to our hotel room until 4:00 p.m.
Since the airlines stopped serving real food on flights all we had eaten during the day was the snack box of chips, raisins and almonds on the plane.

What changes? Eating family dinners & big kid beds. The latter will NOT be addressed until absolutely necessary. Like totally & absolutely necessary b/c after tonight, the thought of them being able to get OUT of their beds is (more…)
I have the hardest time making dinner with both kids, especially since Willow does most of her longer naps in the morning/mid-day. And if I have to deal with raw chicken, forget about it. Once I get it on my hands, in the sink, on the counters, I won’t touch the kids at all until everything is cleaned up and disinfected. It is such a hassle! Nate isn’t always home while I am cooking.
Soooo last night, after the kids went to bed, I got the chicken breasts out of the fridge and decided I was going to marinate the the chicken over-night and get the bread crumb mixture ready to go for today. After I got Willow down for her nap this morning, I prepared the chicken and put it in the oven! It will be ready in an hour haha. I work tonight, which is another reason why (more…)
