We'll Be In Touch

Jumping into this link-up to get those blogging juices flowing again! Enjoy! what we're eating this week We really enjoying planning out exactly what dinners we are having each evening. Outside of Red Beans & Rice Mondays and Taco Tuesdays, a few highlights have been  Sausage Tortellini Skillet , Sweet Potato, Black Bean & Chicken Skillet   and Crock Pot Orange Chicken .  what i'm reminiscing about Canon's Baptism 3 years ago today!  what i'm loving my  Mineral Peptides Powder ! Now that I am foundation free, just a sprinkle of this on in the mornings and I'm good to walk out the door! It keeps me from getting too shiny in the afternoons, has SPF 20 and reduces my redness. Love!  what we've been up to Football started, so we're home a lot on Saturdays for that. Oktoberfest happened at our church this past weekend and Aaron has a big flag football game this Saturday! Canon and I went and got coffee (chocolate mi...

Just a quick little round-up of July and August in pictures!  One of the perks of living where I grew up - I got to take pictures of Canon on the porch of the house I lived in until high school, let him play at the same playground across the street and go to the same 4th of July carnival at my old elementary school! Recently, Canon has been playing "church" and will sing from the hymnal and offer communion to us! I got to get away for an awesome weekend at Camp Carysbrook! This kid - is just getting SO big! Months 4 - 8 have really flown by! A little playdate in Waynesboro with my college girls! Haircuts for the whole family! Ben went to California to see the Schultz Family and had a great time getting spoiled and loved on by Grandma! We got to hang out with Elizabeth, from Teaching Sam and Scout , and her sweet boy. Elizabeth is from VA and went to Clemson, but we didn't connect until th...

I've had a few friends who have recently found out they were pregnant! Talking baby gear is one of my favorite conversations, so for a friend who doesn't live close, I rounded up a list of "what I would do if I did it all over again" based on what I know now with 2 kids. I did it pretty fast and she was really focused on strollers, but I thought it would be fun to share! If there is something you love that I missed, leave it in the comments! Car Seat - the Chicco Keyfit 30 is the one all my friends have Stroller - I'm going to list out a few options: 1 - No seat, for car seat only "snap n go" That is the Chicco version OR the Baby Trend version (much cheaper) 2 - something you can use as an infant, that will also grow with you. Typically this means buying the stroller and buying the car seat adapter so you can use them together my friends Mark and Melissa did a genius thing and bought this stroller with the adapter, ...
