Drum Roll Please…

I’m still a bit in shock b/c I would’ve bet money that we were having a girl, but we couldn’t be more excited! Little boys love their mamas!

Our son, Owen Ray, will be making his appearance in late October :)

Would it be bad if I brought him home in a tiny Dracula costume? Oooh, ooh, ooh! Or Harry Potter!!!!

I’m thinking that would probably be the cutest thing EVER.

Y’all know what today is?

Today may or may not mark the first day of the rest of my life.

As you are reading this, my husband and I are more than likely sitting in my Drs office looking at our little cuddly tree frog on the ultrasound anxiously awaiting the phrase, “Congratulations, It’s a….”

Crockpot Rhubarb Strawberry Jam

Strawberry-Jam-5

Strawberry jam has always been, well, my jam!

Layer it on toast, drizzle it over a wedge of creamy brie, or slather it on some thick, seedy bread for an out of this world PB & J.

Happy Monday, minions!

How are y’all feeling today after yesterday’s festivities?

Surprisingly I, for some unknown reason, woke up feeling like I had slammed back about 17,000 tequila shots with all the rest of the Cinco de Mayo-ers. Clearly, that wasn’t the case. In fact, I didn’t do or eat anything Mexican themed at all this weekend!

It’s those strange cravings/aversions, y’all.

I’m baaaaaaaaack!

Okay, so I’m not promising that I’m back in full swing 100% yet because my food aversions are so awkward at the moment it’s really hard to nail down when I’m going to be able to cook something that won’t make me turn 50 shades of green, but as of right now I’m not feeling like a rotting zombie so I’m going to take full advantage of that fact.

Currently, the little …

I know y’all are all probably wondering what in the world has happened to me.

Well, the truth is, I have been sick with various ailments that have completely knocked me into oblivion, but I’ve kind …

It seems like forever since I’ve done a weekend wrap up post, huh?

It’s probably because it *HAS* been.

There really wasn’t any point in wrapping up weekends when I didn’t do anything to wrap up! Luckily, this weekend was full of fun, and I got to document every last second of it. Well, the exciting parts at least

Friday evening we didn’t …
