Work & Play

Hey Y'all,

This past week I've stayed at my mother in laws after having a

pinched nerve. There have been times where I can barely stay 

awake due to the pain. Standing is not much of an option. With 

this pain, I feel rather useless or a bad mother. Luckily I have 

help and I am trying to keep positive. My husband is taking me

to the chiropractor today, let us pray that it helps!

Ember has been having fun with blowing bubbles and playing

with "games" such as Connect 4 and Operation. Even though

she is only two years old, I am impressed! I can't wait to teach

her how to play the games. 

As for my little man - he is pulling up and trying to walk

away from the couch only to fall on his bottom. It's so cute. 

While being down, I am working on templates to add to

the ETSY site. I am hoping to pick up work through 

llustrations or paintings to pay for college. 

Quick Recipes for Canned Spinach

Canned Spinach anyone?

I love Spinach but canned is sometimes hard to just open up and eat straight out of the can. Before you refuse to eat spinach because of this HORRIFYING experience... Try this dip.

What to do with that rest over canned spinach? 

I made mini calzones using crescent rolls. 

Grease your pan, preheat oven to 375 F (or package) 

Roll out four. Cover in pizza sauce or left over spaghetti sauce. 

Mix together spinach and parmesan cheese and sprinkle on top 

of sauce, add chicken or pepperoni. 

Add more cheese (I used three cheese package) 

Fold two halves together.  Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Wa La

Not the prettiest looking thing in the world but my toddler, Ember ate two! 

No crescent rolls? Only canned biscuits? 

NO FEAR! 

I smushed and kneaded the biscuits together to make a crust. 

Same as above ^ 

Grease your pan, preheat oven to 400 F (or package) 

Roll out crust. Cover in pizza sauce or left over spaghetti sauce. 

Mix together spinach and parmesan cheese and sprinkle on top 

of sauce, add chicken or pepperoni. 

Add more cheese (I used three cheese package) 

Bake for 10. Try to cover most of crust. (Biscuits are so bland)

Quick recipes and fun to do with toddlers or even after school snack! 

Enjoy!

Hello!

I've had trouble thinking of a way to word this. I have gained roughly ten pounds in the last two months. (GASP!) I was doing so good loosing weight after my son and dreaming a beautiful bathing suit for this summer. Now I'm changing the bathing suit to a maternity one. WHAT?! I know..
It's undeniable that I have morning sickness and a "tumor" growing in my tummy.

Rephrase: Not a tumor, but I am pregnant. Tests were showing negative for a month  or more. Even after a blood test I finally had an ultrasound. I have yet visit the OBGYN. I have an appointment next week. I got a phone call from a nurse less than an hour after the ultrasound with the results that I was indeed pregnant. Also, I needed more blood-work done because it may or may not be ectopic. When calling to make the appointment for the OBGYN, I was told to say that it was about a cyst. Apparently the cyst on my right ovary has gotten larger. We are leaving everything in God's Hands.
