Spa Day on the Cheap

rawfootage

So I'm just hanging out today being lazy and the doorbell rings. I yell for my forklift and waddle on out to the door to find a package..weeehooo!

My Pregnancy 34 Weeks

34weeksemma

After many weeks of time flying by I've finally hit the home stretch and it seems like life has come to a standstill. I'm in the phase where every body part hurts, I can see body parts protruding through my tummy and sleep is non-existant. Aside from all of that, I'm really trying to enjoy every moment and remember every detail as I know this will be the last time I'm ever pregnant again. I'm at the point where I can … [Read more...]

Country Fried Steak and Gravy Recipe

countryfriedsteak

Oye... well...I've been hesitant to share this recipe. Not because it's bad but because I didn't pull it off right. I'm really irritated that as great as it looked and smelled, I wasn't able to eat it. You see, everything was perfect until I tried to cut the meat. I kid you not, this was the toughest cut of meat I've ever had in my life. But...the gravy, the breading, it was all perfect! Next time I think I'll just … [Read more...]

emmasdress

I do have one relief for my day! We've been on the search for several weeks now for a dress for Emmaleigh's first hospital photo. As much as we love having pink in the house, it's gotten to be too much. So we decided we do lots of purple for Emma and let Kaydee have all the pink. It turns out finding a purple dress is not as easy to find as we thought it would be. … [Read more...]
