Menu Monday!

With these last couple weeks of being pregnant, and my husband trying to eat healthier before his yearly doctors appointment, our meal plan is a bit unique. I don't really have any new recipes or anything lately, but I have found one that I am dying to try.

Oreo Truffles!!!

Yum, Yum, Yum, these Oreo Truffles from Celebrations at Home look AMAZING and so easy. I can't wait to come up with an excuse to make these for something. Head over here and see how to make them, seriously, they only have 3 ingredients! Any of my local friends what to have a "Truffle" get together, hehe. :)

Sew Something Saturday! I-Spy Swap

I am SO EXCITED to be part of Obsessively Stitching's I-Spy fabric swap 2.0. I really wanted to join last time she did they great swap, but wasn't fast enough to get signed up, so I am very happy I made it in this time. Head over and check it out.

Basically 20 of us all pick out 10 different fabrics for an I-Spy quilt and cut out 20 squares of each. Then we send them in, and get back one of everyones fabric, so I'll have 200 different I-Spy fabric squares! Yup, 200 different!!!!! It has taken me 6 months to save up 5 squares on my own, so this is huge!

Here are the 10 fabrics I choose and cut to send in for the swap. It was fun thinking about what would be easy and hard to look for in the quilt. I am SO EXCITED to make this quilt, that I have be dreaming about how I am going to put it together. I think something like this.

Wordless Wednesday!

This "Wordless Wednesday" is going to be a little wordy, but I thought I should explain my daughters amazing outfit. :)

Let's just say, these last few weeks of being pregnant are harder than I remember, so Molly has been really enjoying a lot of freedom in what she plays and what she wears, lol.

Yesterday she told me... "Be Right Back Mommy," and a few minutes later came out of her room dressed like this bringing me "Valentines Treats." Not sure what the winter hat and water spray bottle fan have to do with delivering Valentines Treats are all about, but I did laugh pretty hard, and Molly had a blast playing like this for hours.

Loving Games!!!

(Playing Hullabaloo, I couldn't get her to look up for a picture, she was to into the game)

Anyone who knows us, knows that my family LOVES games. I have a problem, you should see my game cupboardS, yup, way to many games. So when Molly got some of her own games for Christmas, I was very excited to start her playing.

Cranium is an all time favorite in this house, so when Molly got Hullabaloo (a cranium brand game) I was super excited. She LOVES it. She is doing really good at following the directions it says and finding the right piece to stand on. Her favorite part is the "Funny Dance" you do at the end. :) It's a lot of fun right now, but there are harder levels and more that she will be able to grow into.

So also got Don't Break The Ice, which is fantastic. I really underestimated her on this one, I figured that she would just enjoy knocking the ice down. But, she actually can play the game the right way. It's great for working on taking turns and she even knows to try not to let the bear fall. The only thing is she likes to call it "Ice Hockey." :)

Wordless Wednesday!

So proud of my little swimmer! Molly loves swimming lessons.
