i am keeping as busy as i can while we wait until “d day” next tuesday 😉
so far here is what i’ve been doing:
– walks – the dog is loving life right now
– printing pictures and filling out baby books so i’m all caught up when she arrives
– we bought a new car! this one was a total surprise. we were planning on a new vehicle next year. we were going to upgrade to a crossover size and my husband would take over my little versa for his commute to work. turns out hyundai has a great deal on right now and just looking at hubby’s 9.5 year old mazda all he could see was at least 4 new car payments going towards fixing things up enough to keep it on the road for one more year. so last night we got this –
sante fe XL in iron frost
technically we don’t have it yet but we will have it in the next few days. hello new “mommy mobile” hahaha hey, at least it’s not a minivan (yet 😉 )
– baking. so far i have made a bunch of muffins and today i’m tackling a bunch of no bake energy balls. fast to make now and easy to grab, defrost and enjoy later
– downloading fonts. i know this one is weird. i am obsessed with finding “font compilations” on pinterest and then going online and downloading as many of them as i can. yesterday i finally tackled my numerous font pins and was in a downloading haze for well over an hour haha
– getting the birth announcement template ready. this one is sooooo hard now that i have so many awesome new fonts LOL. i want to make about half a dozen different announcements just to use as many as i can!
– visiting with family. my SIL is on her way right now with my nieces for a visit. they live about an hour away and never make it up to visit (we usually go down to see them). seeing as i shouldn’t travel too far from home now she decided to come up and i’m so happy 🙂
– yard work. this one is tough. usually i would have had the whole yard, front and back, done in one day but i only got through the front on sunday and about an 1/4 of the back yesterday. my raked piles of grass, pruned perennials, and bushes are still sitting on the lawn because i ran out of steam before i could bag it up hahaha.
any of you ladies or gents have a favourite meal that freezes and thaws well that you want to pass along? chris and i are going to do a bit of “cook and freeze” marathon this weekend and i would love any suggestions that you have 🙂
Hello My Name Is TUBELESS 
Chillie, lasanga, shepard’s pie, and baked mac n cheese all freeze well. Stew works too but I don’t love it as much as my husband does.
great suggestions. thanks!
No prob! My mom is big on freezer friendly meals 🙂
I live on these peanut butter balls. I make a batch every week. Never used coconut though. Maybe I’ll try it next week. :). Also I made turkey chili to freeze in one (or two) serving freezer bags.
it’s my first time making them. i have a feeling they won’t last long once we start to dig into them. chili is a great idea. thanks!
I have to force myself not to eat them all. I can stretch them out for about 5 days.
We have a Sante Fe (our second one) and we love it! It’s going to be really sad selling it after 5 years since we def need a ::gasp:: minivan! Enjoy the car…it’s freaking awesome!
