pinterest problems

Y'all. I probably have at least 120 recipes pinned on Pinterest. Between Crock Pot recipes, ~~fall~~ pumpkin recipes and sweet cravings, it is a lot. Here is the deal though, I've only made a hand-full of them. I see great recipes, pin them, never to return to actually make it! Then I'm left stressing out each night about what we are going to eat for dinner! Therefore, I am declaring the next 7 days my own personal Pinterest Recipe Challenge.

So, I totally stole the Graphic from YHL, who hosted a Pinterest Challenge at the end of October. Better late than never right? My plan is to make at least 1 recipe per day, preferably dinner, for the next 7 days or so. Here are the 8 recipes I wrote down last night, with an impromptu one that I already made this morning!

Weight Watchers Honey Mustard Chicken

Parmesan Crusted Chicken

Cinnamon Roll Waffles

Portabello Pesto Pizza

Crock Pot Ribs

Slow Cooked Carnitas Tacos

Buffalo Chicken Quinoa

Mini BBQ Cheddar Meatloaf

and today, Pumpkin Coffee Cake

Now, this is not a food blog, nor am I a food photographer, so I'm just going to post a picture and let you know if I liked it. More than anything, this is a challenge for myself to, in the words of Katie Bower, "stop pinning and start doing."

This Pumpkin Coffee Cake is a success. It was really simple to make and didn't take much time at all. Growing up, my mom made Coffee Cake for breakfast on Christmas morning, but we have recently switched over to a more hearty breakfast casserole. I can definitely see myself starting a Thanksgiving morning tradition with this Pumpkin Coffee Cake.

going public

Well...there is not really any other way to say this but... Aaron and I are having a BABY! Yep, Baby Schultz should be arriving this Labor Day. We could not be more thrilled about the news! Once we got through the 12-week ultrasound, which is what this picture is from, we were ready to spread the news! I know there are still lots of people who should have gotten phone calls, and for that I apologize that you are finding out now, but I was just ready to get it out there! And now I will answer the questions that typically follow up this kind of announcement. 1. Were you trying? Well....not exactly. From the beginning I have felt pretty strongly that we were not in control of this whole baby-making situation. I have known many women who got pregnant on birth control, or when they didn't even know they could, and those who "planned" it and then it has taken longer than hoped. I've just always been pretty sure that when the Lord determined we were ready, He'd

spill about your LOVE link-up

I'm linking up with A. Liz Adventures today for this fun little questionnaire! {1} Describe your dating life prior to finding your husband/boyfriend/fiance. I had 2 serious relationships before meeting Aaron, one in high school (as serious as that can be, ha!) and one in college. Before meeting Aaron, I had been single for about 3 1/2 years. {2} Describe your husband/boyfriend/fiance in one word. How would he describe you in one word? The word I always use to describe Aaron is steady. He is the calm to my crazy. Also, is faith is the most consistent and steadfast I've ever seen. He says to describe me in 1 word is too hard. {3} You had a really silly fight. Embarrassing silly. What was it about? Our most frequent fight is over the dishes. And that seems silly to me. {4} In three sentences (and only three!), describe where you both hope to be in 5 years. Surrounded by family and friends, probably with another child, in a house with a front porch

mid-month confessions

Y'all. I am SO excited for the return of mid-month confessions!! Elizabeth, over at Teaching Sam & Scout , used to do mid-week confessions that I linked up for a couple of times before her original blog shut down. Since starting at a new space and kind of rebranding herself, she's decided to get them going again, but once a month instead of once a week. AND she's partnered up with one of my best girls from Clemson, Heather! I'm really looking forward to this link-up each month! - First, I have to say, today was just one of those days, so this might be brief. - On Sunday, our youngest child, Ben (4 weeks) spit up straight into the mouth of our friend Geoff who was holding him. Yes, possibly more embarrassing for Geoff, but I felt terrible! - When I wrote our family goals for 2015 on the blog, I purposefully left off one thing; brush Canon's teeth once a day. YES, I know. We're terrible and haven't quite worked it into our routines yet so

We'll Be In Touch
