Fabulous House Friday- Preparing Meals

Ever since I got pregnant I have worried more about my health.  I was not "eating for two" but I was providing nutrition for someone who could not make a choice on their own. Since then I have been trying to prepare healthy meals ahead.  Before I use to bake to relax and distress.  Now I am trying to chop instead.  

Here are some of my prepare ahead food ideas:  

 Using this organizer to store the containers has been great!  No more searching for the lid.  This is very easy to organize as I take them out of the dishwasher.  

 On the left is canned fruit that I put in smaller containers so I can just grab a serving when I would like one.  The middle is some chopped salad, so that I can just add dressing. On the right is vegetable soup that I made on Sunday to have for lunch throughout the week.  

Chopped onions for soup, spaghetti, or other meals.  (These may make your house and freeze smell).

Thankful Thursday- Thanks for the help

Ever since I found out I was pregnant that world has been so generous with thoughts, prayers, and gifts!  Many people have helped out with love, clothes, teddy bears, bottle, help, ect!  We feel so lucky to have the support that we do.  I try to write as many thank you letters as possible but I feel it is never enough.  Thanks everyone!!

Wordless Wednesday- "Shooting" the wildlife

Play Time

Her she is on her new play mat!  She really likes tummy time, but she tells us when she is done by grunting!  We are having so much fun with her now that her eyes are open.

Marvelous Charlie Monday- Cuddle Time

Charlie never misses an opportunity to cuddle.   He always asks permission to come up and join us on the couch.  Sometimes he does pick some odd spots to lay once he is up there. He has  been doing great with Maria.  He does like to lick her used bibs.  We are working on changing that ;).
