1. Have you guys ever had these little candies? I saw them at the grocery store on the top shelf of some obscure isle, and I thought they were candy cigarettes, so I picked them up. Turns out, they’re better than candy cigarettes. Way better. They only have four ingredients, too. Keep your eyes peeled for them…they’re delicious.
2. I am having five girls over tonight and we are making 25 meals to put in our freezers. How fun is that going to be? Well, I don’t really know, but I imagine it’s going to be really fun. I’ll keep you posted.
3. Meeker had to work allllll weekend so I surprised him on Sunday evening by grilling him a steak when he got home. He doesn’t look that happy in these pictures, but he was thrilled. (about the steak, not about me photographing him while he ate…can you blame him?)
4. Speaking of Meeker, he made this chalkboard with pockets for me last week.
5. Based on some of my recent pins, I think I need to move (immediately) to an all white house with incredible lighting.
6. I went back to the store and bought (at least) another pound of those almonds that were on sale. I know, I know…but $3 for a pound of almonds?! I feel like that deal might never happen again.
7. Adrienne has almost outgrown my favorite (pink tuxedo!) onsie of hers. So, I took about 500 pictures of her wearing it yesterday so I will never forget how ridiculously adorable she is. Here are three of them.
8. I just stared at the above picture for five whole minutes and then my heart exploded.
Oh my goodness–she really does keep getting cuter and cuter. I think she looks like you–especially that first shot.
Eeee! I love hearing that. Thank you!
she is just so precious!! that onesie is adorable, don’t ever get rid of it! I want to make a chalk board like you have, I have so many pins of things like that on pinterest and never make anything!
Yeah, I’ve probably made 1% of the crafts I’ve seen on pinterest.
first of all…cutest outfit ever. second, that chalkboard is awesome! my hubby painted one pane of an old window with chalkboard paint, cut a dry erase board to fit one pane and put corkboard in the other two panes so i could hang it in my kitchen and i love it!
omg that middle picture of her-so precious.
Oh my gosh Katie – that middle picture of Adrienne is so stinking adorable I can hardly take it. Definitely heart-explosion worthy.
And yeah – on the all-white house. That works for me. Let’s do it!
And I love the chalk board!! What a handy guy you have there (hi Meeker!)
I know, I think I’ll keep him. I’ll also have him make YOU one when you move in.
I LOVE it! (That’s secretly what I was hoping you’d say, but I was also prepared to be a-ok with just sharing yours with you!)
What a cutie. Seriously. Those pics are awesome!
Love the new blog look! I also love the chalkboard Meeker made you
Without question, you have the cutest, prettiest, most adorable baby alive! She is just so sweet
No arguments here! Thanks for your sweet words.
a) I LOVE that little chalkboard thingy.
b) If I look at one more picture of baby A, my ovaries are going to flip me off.
c) 25 meals? I’m slipping into cardiac arrest. Right now.
My ovaries basically told me the EXACT same thing.
I know. I just prepped (cooked, shredded, chopped) until my fingers were almost bleeding. You should see my fridge. It wants to flip me off just like your ovaries.
That chalkboard and the fact that Meeker made it just makes my heart smile so big. As does Little A – am I losing my eye sight/can’t tell in the phone, or are her toenails painted?
**in the photo – not phone
They are painted pink! I wondered if anyone would notice…you win!
Love the chalkboard idea – I always think/talk about planning meals for the week but never quite get there!
I don’t know what I’d do without a plan…probably spend a million dollars at the grocery store and then complain that there was nothing to eat in the house.
Oh my gosh. Could Adrienne possibly be ANY cuter?
Wow …. your Addy is cuter + cuter each day! I’ll bet she is funny ….. lots of good humor from mommy & daddy!
Amazing how they grow before our eyes. Pictures do the trick for sure.
Love your pins Katie. OMG ….. look at that fantastic yellow door!!!!! Whoa. I want that! Each and every kitchen is better than the next. I don’t know if I could choose. BOO. Yeah …. right …. someday. Ha.
That’s what I keep telling myself….sigh…somday.
OOooh, love that baby girl!!!! Awesome chalkboard! And yes, ginger candies are delicious. We currently have them in the sour apple variety.
Oooh apple sour?! I’m going to have to search for those. Are they that same “Reeds” brand?
Ooooh, no, it’s another brand. “The Ginger People” I’ve seen them at WF and Natural Grocers in a handful of flavors.
that chalkboard is awesome and just what i want on the side of my fridge!
and those last pictures – so insanely cute.
Adrienne looks absolutely beautiful and so incredibly cute in those pictures!!!
I would also love to live in an all white house. I’m obsessed with them. How clean and put together they look, and with a pop of color here and there, ahh I die.
I’m pretty sure mine would be so filthy and disorganized and look nothing like those pictures…but since this is a dream-world, I’m dreaming of ALL white.
She’s getting so BIG I can hardly believe it!! Time for another tuxedo onesie, for sure!
baby A is this cutest baby i’ve ever seen..and no I’m not just saying that! GAH I can’t even stand how cute she is!
Thank you! I love it when my mama-bragging-rights are confirmed.
Great chalkboard! Meeker kinda looks like Alex from Grey’s Anatomy
I don’t even know who that is! I’m going to google him now…
Ahh! He does! I just looked at pictures of him for 5 minutes…you are so right.

Can I have Adrienne’s outfit?
ugh, she is so damn cute. i want one.*
*and by I want one, I mean I can’t wait to play with yours
Just a couple months!
$3 a pound?! I’ve NEVER seen that! Lucky…
that is so heartmeltingly adorable. I LOVE that middle photo.
and the chalboard with pockets. WHAT? I know what I’m asking from dad for Christmas.
There is a huge, all white, house for sale next door to me. it is all windows… lots of light. Come be my neighbor? Okay, so there really isn’t a house next door that is for sale, but wouldn’t it be fun to be neighbors? I could just see Riley and Adrienne having little playdates while the Mommies are busy in the garden or kitchen… or taking millions of pictures of them.
That would be the best life ever…I’m smiling just imagining it.
Omg – I love her little outfit. Thats just too much cuteness to handle.
have you tried the plain ginger chews?
pretty sure they’ve only got one or two ingredients 
so lovely and fun, too!
Is A wearing jeggings?? You are the coolest mom ever. Good luck with your mealapalooza tonight- hope no one loses a finger. Or their mind.
Hah…she is indeed. A gift from her Gigi (Meeker’s mom).
Man o man…I’m not much of a baby person but I can’t get enough of Baby A! You are one cool mom and she is so cute (that middle photo is so fun!). And 25 meals? What a great idea! I should do that with a group of friends too…have fun!
Thanks Bonnie! I’m looking forward to having some go-to things in my freezer on nights I don’t want to cook.
I’ve had those candies. They aren’t as good as you say they are…they are BETTER. Kind of like a grownup Bit-O-Honey! Yum.
That’s the perfect description! I love! Meeker told me he thought they tasted like erasers.
Haha, I love that Meeker’s plate just has the steak on it. That would be my husband’s dream come true- none of those pesky, healthy vegetables getting in the way.
And Adrienne is so adorable! Such a happy girl!
my heart just exploded too. can’t even take her.
Oh Baby A….stop growing so fast!! She is just too adorable for words, Katie.
Great Post!
I just got my Bone Appetite in the mail the other day.. I can’t wait to make that Roasted Ceaser Salad! Looks divine.
That was one of the recipes I bookmarked, too! Let me know how it is if you try it first.
I will! It looks interesting enough. lol
I loved this post!! So fun! (The part about your needing to move into an all-white house with good lighting totally made me laugh. Ha, ha. I think that my pins say the same thing about me).
She is SO adorable.
Gaaah that child gets me every tijme!
you know how much 100 gr of almonds (that’s less than a quarter of a pound) cost here in Buenos Aires? 3 dollars. I want to die, food is so expensive here!
Oh my gosh, I love her! And yes, that shirt (or onesie? Is it really a onesie??) is so stinkin’ cute.
PS- love the new blog look
Super cute….i hope I have cute babies.!
Oh, I looove the adorable picture of Adrienne. I just posted a pic of my cutiepie nephew with my “happy post” (the trick to being happy) because he’s always such a smiley guy!!: http://lifewithcheeseburgers.com/2012/02/28/happiness-is-a-multiple-choice-test-choose-the-right-answer/
I love the chalkboard deal and babycakes is adorABLE!
