ha. that's fantastic! my friend Christine is sort of obsessed with Pioneer Woman. sounds like i might need to jump on the bandwagon. can't wait to see all the pictures!
I can't wait to see it all. All of those recipes have my stomach growling.
very productive. i joined you in cutting recipes out of a million magazines. and i am making the french breakfast puffs tonight.. gotta try them out before craig takes them to a staff breakfast right? :)
So much progress!! His little room is sure to be cute :) The recipes sound amazing, I think I need those breakfast puffs now!
I think it is safe to say that you are in your glorious 2nd trimester where a bit of the energy magically returns (although, with all those tasks checked off the list, I bet you are still wiped!). Way to go by making the most of the break! I can't wait to see the baby room.
What a fun post. And trust me it wont slow down one bit once your little boy arrives. Made PW comfort meatballs several weeks ago and they are mmm mmm good!
Sounds like a super productive snow storm! Good job, lady! :) Can't wait to see pictures. I know everything will be beautiful.
Gotta love Memphis ice storms!
Oh my goodness. I absolutely died LAUGHING at the fact that you substituted Coors Ligh for white wine. That is hilarious!!! :)
