BENTO LUNCHES

When I was sending Emma to school, I knew school lunches were going to be an issue. Not that she's picky, far from it actually, she just had good taste!! Well day 1 & 2 I decided we would try school lunch and see how that goes, WELL Emma's response was "mom lunch was gross & I didn't eat it". So I talked to a mom of 5, she would be making lunch for 4 this school year, and she gave me some pretty great ideas and pointed me to her Pinterest lunch board. I searched Pinterest, Facebook & Instagram for more real mom ideas. I wanted to send emma with food she would eat. So here are a few of my creations. I have so many more and can not wait to try new things as the year goes on!!

We're Pregnant...... Again!!!

We're Expecting

Due 3/4/14

So lets have a run down of what we've been up to.....

Last summer Paul & I decided we wanted to expand our family, Emma was three and things had finally started to calm down. 

Elliana Faith was born January 30, 2013 - YAY!! This baby is the sweetest, happiest baby EVER. It's like the sun shines out of her and people have to stop and tell us!!

After Elli we discussed getting Mireana again, but our doctor would not put it in until Mother Nature took her course. My biggest fear was getting pregnant, well guess what WE ARE EXPECTING and due Early March (well we think, since we don't know when anything started). The ride I hear will be "FUN"!!! We will have a 4.5 year old a 13 month old AND a newborn!!! So wish us luck & join us on this ride.
