Friday Things
1. First and foremost, thank you all so very much for your patience while I sorted out and remedied the issues with the site. Everything should be running smoothly again at this point, so if you encounter any issues, please feel free to shoot me an email and let me know so that I can investigate. I am so sorry for the inconvenience any downtime may have caused.
2. Now, for the fun stuff! I didn’t realize it when I took the photo below, but Duke totally photobombed it and looks like he wants to eat Joseph’s head, ha!
3. Joseph turned one month old last week, which seems absolutely unfathomable! I love that he’s become more alert and more aware of things around him. He’s started to smile a little bit (we got some big open mouth smiles for the first time yesterday!), but we haven’t been able to catch them on camera yet. Each day is an adventure… some messier than others(!)… and I love every minute.
4. I’ve seen charts like this before, and always forget to check them when I need to make a large purchase, so I’m saving this for future reference! [via savings.com; for a large version to download, click here]
5. Confession #1: I realized earlier this week that I’ve never eaten quinoa. Confession #2: I have no desire to eat quinoa.

6. In other news, I am dying for a soft serve ice cream cone with sprinkles. I think all of the local places open back up sometimes in March… I’ll be the first in line!
7. This Buzzfeed compilation of 27 Charts That Will Help You Make Sense of Makeup is an awesome resource for someone who is fashion and makeup challenged like myself. There are tons of great tips and tricks in there!
8. I want to eat a bazillion of these pepperoni pizza pull-apart muffins… oh my goodness!
9. It’s House of Cards release day!! Having a newborn is the perfect excuse to hibernate (especially when it’s freezing out), so you know what we’ll be doing all weekend while Joseph naps! In other TV news, in some strange twist of fate, neither my husband nor I had ever watched the show 24 when it originally ran. A couple of weeks ago, we decided to start watching from the beginning and we’re totally hooked! We’re a little more than halfway through the first season and loving it. It’s great that there are so many seasons… it’ll keep us entertained for awhile!
10. TGIF! I hope the weather is starting to warm up where you are… Duke is working out his cabin fever!
thanks for sharing the information with us, we are really glad to read your interesting blog.
This is really an amazing article. Your article is really good and your article has always good content with a good power-point with informative information. Please don’t stop you powerful content writing keeps it up.
Quinoa was on my “must try/cook” New Year’s resolution list this year…I tried it two weeks ago (in my rice cooker) and steamed veggies with it…mixed them up and I was amazed how good it tasted…now I find myself looking for all kinds of recipies for it! Try it!!!
Thank you for the make-up link….awesome and very helpful! So happy your blog is up and running again…it is a part of my daily routine!
Duke is hillarious and Joseph is over-the-top adorable…love his outfit!
1. absolutely adorable baby boy
2. i grew up and still live in no cal…worked at Swenson’s Ice Cream Parlor in high school and they were always ‘jimmies’ not ‘sprinkles’ :)
3. quinoa is delish! pretty much even swap for rice. you must try it! i make it in my rice cooker. be sure to either rinse it before cooking or get the pre-rinsed kind.
How adorable is your little man! I miss those first months, when they fit on our thighs! Never tried quinoa either (yet). Lucky you if the weather is getting better, here it has been raining for months, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to end soon.

But quinoa is so tasty. And it’s the perfect quick fix dinner when you don’t have time for something more elaborate.
Sprinkles on ice cream is one of my favorites! But I can’t find the sprinkles that I like here in Dallas. The ones I gre up with were different colored but had some chopped up nuts in them, except they weren’t just nuts, I think they had some sort of sweet glaze on them. Loved them! Wish I could find it!
