Three months old!

The boys are three months old today and cuter then ever! They're smiling, lifting their heads well, and loving life. They like to stick their tongue at you and smile when you return the gesture. They love when dad comes home and impatiently wait their turn to be in his arms. The boys have magical powers to rock their daddy to sleep. They also love music and hearing you sing. And, they are sleeping 4-5 hours at night! Woohoo says mommy!

I went back to work last week. It was really hard, just like everyone said it would be. I cried and cried, which is apparently pretty normal. I'm really grateful I can work part time and still only be away 2 nights a week. And I'm oh so GRATEFUL to my amazing mom who comes over and let's me sleep, to Bryce who works the night shift without a complaint, and my wonderful mother in law who sleeps over to help Bryce. Thank you thank you! I know the boys have really enjoyed the extra time with dad and grandmas.

You are Loved Project

This project was so much fun to put together! Bryce is a very busy, very dedicated husband, father, and friend. He is currently working full time, going to college full time, new daddy of twins on the night watch while mom goes back to work, getting ready to graduate, looking for an accounting internship, posssibly starting a new job soon, and the list goes on! With all of that in his life, I wanted him to know how many people loved him and were cheering him on. I sent out a quick message for letters and got a 100% response! I have 4 weeks of letters for him to open one a day. Thank you everyone!

I know Bryce has really loved it. His exact words were "I didn't know I had 24 people who loved me" Haha... And "can I open them all now?!". If any of you would like to add to the project, all of these spots are claimed or filled but I would LOVE to add another row! Just send me an email or message via Facebook and I'll print it out and put it up for Bryce.

As cool as this is, i can't claim any credit. The idea from a blog called the dating divas. Here's the link. http://www.thedatingdivas.com/you-me/show-him-the-love/you-are-appreciated/. I love this blog, p.s.

A new discovery!

I discovered an AWESOME website called Once a Month Mom. It's a site that does monthly freezer menus that you cook one day a month(makes sense, huh?). They provide the recipe cards, grocery list, step by step instructions for your cooking day, and labels to put on the meals. Best of all, it's free! They have a new menu each month in different categories such as traditional, whole foods, diet, gluten/dairy free, and even a baby menu. It took me more than one day to put them all together because of the twins, and it's been well worth it! We get a real meal each day without any work. This meal we had yesterday was peach-glazed pork chops... Yum! And it took me a total of ten minutes to whip this together. I love "fast" food.
