Postpartum Depression and Anxiety – One Year Later from Happy Pretty Blog

MamaBirthday2

A year ago, I shared something very personal and not often talked about in the hopes that it would help another woman on her new journey into motherhood. It made me feel extremely vulnerable, yet empowered at the same time. Looking back and reading my post over again, I can see how far I’ve come and how much has changed since that day.

Today marks a new season in this mama’s life. For the first time, since I was 5 years old, I am not going back to school. School has been a continuous, constant part of my life… as a student, college student, and a teacher.

Frozen Hot Chocolate from 4 Sons ‘R’ Us

frozen-hot-chocolate

It’s famous, it’s infamous, it’s notorious. It has destroyed diets and led to love affairs from just a sip of it’s creamy, dreamy, icy blend of chocolatey goodness. Just one sip will make you want to blow bubbles through your straw like a child again. Never had a sip of Serendipity’s Frozen Hot Chocolate? You have got to find out what you’ve been missing!! And now, there’s no need to plan a trip all the way to NYC just for one glorious taste test.

Ok, who gave the baby a sharpie? (or, Back-to-school Part 1) from Mommy Life after PhD

backtoschoolpart1

See I’m getting ready for back to school (finally, does it seem like everyone else is already back to school, or is it just me?), and you know the drill.

You search online or at the school building for a bonified, current, they-actually-need-this-stuff supply list and then enlist your WHOLE crew of Crazies to help you get the shopping done.

Because you’ve lost all your sense. Sense-less you are.

5 Reasons Why My Kids Aren’t All Over Your Timeline from Mommie and Wee

social-media-pinterest

As a new mom in today’s generation, it is almost expected of me to constantly post photos, videos, and updates about my children. I’ve been asked countless times ‘Why don’t you ever post your kids on Facebook?’ and ‘Why are you trying to treat your kids like Blue Ivy? We want to see pictures!’ I mean, I love my children just as much as, if not more than the average mom. But, I draw the line at posting all about them on every social media account I own.

Puppy Popsicles from Melanie Gets Married

02c

This weekend was a fabulous one as far as weather is concerned. It is the middle of August and it was finally starting to feel like summer in Mid-Michigan…. until yesterday. This weekend, it was easy to work up a sweat while doing anything outside. Lucy Lou, loves to be outside all.the.time. but when the sun is shining, her black fur is hot hot hot.

On a hot summer day as a kid, I loved eating popsicles (who didn’t?), so being the cool dog mom that I am, I decided to make Lucy some popsicles of her own.

Sunday Meal Plan – Week #26

Happy Sunday, readers!!

Another great weekend is nearly in the books. We have had an astounding weekend. Saturday we went to Dunkirk to celebrate my dad’s birthday. His actual day was this past Wednesday the 13th, but weekends are always easier to celebrate on. We had a mini-BBQ, lots of hot dogs, hamburgers and pasta salad. I didn’t eat the greatest but it was really delicious!

One of the best parts of Saturday was that Emmett got to meet one of his idols, Rolley. 😉 He seriously loves Bob the Builder and was so excited when we took a walk by my mom’s house and they had this cement roller there. I wish I had video’d the whole thing, his excitement was ADORABLE!

Sunday-Meal-Plan-81714

And then today has been super productive!! I woke up at 5:30 this morning, thinking I’d get some time to get work done, but Emmett had other ideas. He wanted to wake up at 5:45 and spend some time cuddling on the couch watching Bob the Builder. I can’t say I blame him, I am pretty awesome, but it cut into my work time. haha

Ah well!! In the end it worked out. I pulled my laptop out while he watched TV, I got a few odds and ends done, and then eventually I made him breakfast. After breakfast, we woke Seamus up, mainly so I could get to our hamper and start our laundry. I’ve gotten 4 loads of laundry done, grocery shopping, food prep and some Beachbody stuff all complete and it’s only just 3 pm. Feels good to be so productive!!

Our Weekly Meal Plan

This weeks’ meal plan has some new recipes on it, ones that I am REALLY excited to try!!

Sunday: Chili & corn bread (carry-over from last week)

Monday: Leftovers

Tuesday: White Pizza Stuffed Zucchini Boats

Wednesday: Chicken Shawarma

Thursday: Steak, Chick Pea & Tomato Salad

Friday: Marinated Chicken with Sauteed Corn with Bacon and Leeks

Saturday: BBQ Bacon Hot Dogs and Baked Fries

The BBQ Bacon Hot Dog is going to be a Seamus creation. He went to a food truck that sold that type of hot dog, but didn’t get the chance to try it, so now he wants to make it at home. We’re saving it for the weekend, since we like to be less indulgent during the week. I’ll be sure to report back on how delicious (or not) it ends up being. 🙂

Like I said, we’re trying a few new things this week and I am very excited about that! We needed to spice up our Sunday meal plan.

I’m linking up with Laura from Mommy, Run Fast! and Jill from jillconyers.com

Your turn!

How was your weekend?

Have you tried any new recipes recently?
