I must be sleeping pretty well at night because I’ve been up pretty early, but still feeling really energized. A big part of that is Peanut sleeping for an 8 hour stretch most nights. Peanut and I both had oats for breakfast. I think she’s a little jealous that she can’t have toppings yet. She [...]

Wow! It’s been a busy week in the UFC household. There hasn’t been any one major event, just lots of little happenings that have kept me from sitting down at the computer for quite some time. I’ve been eating a lot of repeat meals and leftovers so you haven’t missed much in the creative food [...]

My husband ended up staying home from work yesterday due to the weather. I got up with him at 3 to pack his lunch and because I was worried. He attempted to leave around 4:30AM, but the roads were horrible and the snow was drifting pretty badly so he didn’t make it a mile before [...]
Blowing the Stink Off
Posted in Uncategorized on February 12, 2010 | 10 Comments »
Yesterday was the first time since Monday that I’ve ventured out beyond the front porch. It felt sooo good to “blow the stink off.” I think Peanut enjoyed being out too because she was an absolute angel. We went to the bank, Hobby Lobby, the grocery, my Weight Watchers meeting and then to exchange something [...]

Have you ever gotten so much sleep that it felt like almost too much? That’s how I felt when I got up yesterday. Peanut slept for a 7 hour stretch (our longest so far), ate for 30 minutes and then went back down for another two and a half hours. That’s by far the most [...]
Weight of the Union

At the beginning of 2009 I was battling the extra 15 pounds I’d put on since our wedding (March 2008). At the end of 2009 I found myself battling 30 of the extra 60 pounds I gained during pregnancy plus those extra 15 that I was battling when the year started. I entered 2010 feeling [...]
Table for…3?

Peanut had her 4-month checkup yesterday afternoon. I can’t believe how much she’s gown! She was 13lbs. 9oz. and 25″ long. (At birth, she was 7lbs. 3oz. and 20″ long.) The doctor gave her an A+ for health and development which made her mama feel very good. Mama did NOT feel very good, however, when [...]
Superbowl Food Fail
Posted in Uncategorized on February 8, 2010 | 3 Comments »
My tummy is pretty unhappy today and I’m pretty sure I know the culprit. My husband and I saw these yummy looking stuffed sausage balls on 30 Minute Meals a few weeks ago and I thought they’d be perfect for our low-key Superbowl evening. They were easy enough to make. Divide 1 pound of hot [...]
Lights Out

I heard Peanut start stirring at about 6:45 Saturday morning so I hopped out of bed and started the coffee maker before she woke all the way up. Just as I finished changing her I heard a “pop!” sound and the house was plunged into total darkness. Lo-ve-ly. That meant no heat, no stove or [...]
