So much to do, so little time


Wow, so much has happened in the last week or so I hardly know where to begin, so I think a list will have to suffice.

1. We’ve had so many visitors and its been great! Mr. F’s childhood friend came for a night and we enjoyed taking him to Reading Terminal Market (a great historic preservation project!). Mr. F’s sister also stopped by this weekend and we had so much fun with her; she even babysat so we could go on a date!

2. Aidan is no officially pulling up to standing and his first tooth broke through last week! He’s just getting more and more smiley and loving, and since I’m his mom and allowed to biased, he’s PERFECT :)

3. Aidan is also taking steps with help of Daddy. See video below.

4. Last Monday Aidan turned 8 mos old! It’s shocking how fast time flies when you’re having fun (and are sleep deprived!)

5. I’m very actively job searching and would greatly appreciate any and all prayers that things come together. If there is anything I’ve learned in the last 2 years its that God has a way of making things work out, but holy cow does my type A/compulsive planner personality have a tough time letting go and letting God.

5a. If you have any ideas of work from home job options, I’m allll ears!

6. Crockpot cooking has changed my life. Yesterday I made baby food for Aidan and Chow Mein for dinner for tonight. Seriously, check out the 365 days of Slow Cooking blog (in my blog list). It is phenomenal. I've already made the Moroccan Lentil Soup (delish!) and the Thai Curry (great, and I dont even like curry!). Tonight I'm going to attempt making my own granola... in the crock pot!

7. This is my 100th post! I’ve been blogging for just over a year and its been wonderful! I hope everyone is having a great Monday!

Jenna,

I think you are SuperMom!! You are so busy but seem to be handling things so well. I checked out the crockpot blog and LOVE IT. I forget about my crockpot and now I'm re-inspired! Also, I have a recipe for homemade granola if you would like it. It's not done in the crockpot but pretty easy (mix, dump, bake). Let me know! I'm so glad we're able to keep in touch this way!

your blog (and link to the 365 slow cook blog) has inspired me to buy a crock pot and start slow cooking! I don't get home until 7 at night and can't stand eating dinner later! Hopefully this will be a nice solution :)
