I haven't been blogging very much lately, not really any excuse except for this little guy:
That's right, in January we will be welcoming a new baby boy into our family! We couldn't be more thrilled.
We had a great summer and our kids enjoyed every minute of it. I found myself spending a lot less time in the kitchen, first because of themorning sickness all-day nausea, then because I found it easier to stick with some of my old favorites instead of trying new recipes while we enjoyed the beautiful Colorado weather.
In July, Hannah turned two. Cake and a balloon, all a 2 year old needs, right?
Isn't she turning into such a pretty little girl? She has such a fun personality too, a little more feisty than Nathan, but we figure with an older brother already and a younger brother on the way, it's a good thing that she is able to stick up for herself.
While I haven't been experimenting too much with new recipes, I have been starting to bake my favorite pumpkin recipes. Yummy!
I've picked up crocheting again. Check out this cute hat I am making for our new baby boy! I purchased the pattern from this seller on etsy.
I also have started making my own cleaning and personal care products incorporating essential oils, thanks to a class I attended by Jenn Oldham. This is a video of her demonstrating how she makes her own laundry detergent, lip balm, and deodorant.
The secret is in the Certified Pure Therapeutic-grade Essential Oils sold by doTerra. I'm sure I will blog more on this in the future, because I am falling in love with all the uses I have found for these awesome oils, including relieving stress, nipping colds in the bud, and cleaning my house.
I hope to be back to the blog a little more consistently in the future, so see you soon!

Congrats on the bun in the oven ;) I remember when I was pregnant with J I couldn't go into the kitchen until well into the second trimester! It was awful! Hope your all-day nausea is going away!
ReplyDeleteI've missed you Heather, so I'm so happy to see this post. Nathan and Hannah have sure changed and grown! Beautiful children. I think Grant will look like Nathan.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new little boy...how very exciting. And I can totally relate to not wanting to talk about recipes while going through the nausea. That's just how I was back in the day. So glad you are feeling better.
Congratulations!! I had wondered where you had gone! I just looked at your site the other night, as we decided to make the yummy carmel corn!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Aw, I missed you! Hey, and we're having a girl in January- they can get married! :) Hopefully the second trimester has brought you some nausea-relief.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are back in the blogging world, I've miss ya! Congrats on the new baby :)
