Maci's Nursery

We are ready. We have everything we could possibly need for this sweet little girl. Everything is washed and put together. All we need is our little Maci to enjoy it all. (Isaiah already has...he's tested the crib, bouncer, bassinet, toys, everything.)


Get here soon, sweet girl! (Just not too soon!)

Some of her clothes neatly washed and put away. I know this won't stay neat so I'm enjoying it while I can.

Her bedding was made by my mother-in-law. So cute, huh?

Maci's room! We didn't get to do this with Isaiah so it's been exciting for us.

She already has so many toys - what a lucky girl to come second! She seriously has so much stuff!

Bow holder. Pinterest-inspired.

The bassinet we borrowed last time isn't available this time around so we decided to get a rock 'n play sleeper instead. I've seen them at the store and thought "how nifty" then read an article about one and how awesome they are and then my sister said all her friends used it and loved it. It was a sign. Plus, it's about 1/3 the cost of a traditional bassinet. Woot! Woot!

Fearfully and wonderfully made.

I mean, seriously. Are you dying? Her first pair of jeggings. Size 3 months. I can't wait to put her toosh in these.

I had to get a diaper shot. I am fully aware this is going to be my life. Newborns on the left, then 1-2's. then 4's for Isaiah, and plenty of wipes on the bottom. We are fully stocked. Thank goodness for Costco!

I have fully been nesting this week. Cleaning out cupboards, organizing bottles (just in case), finding my nipple shield, cleaning out closets, the carpets are cleaned (brand new area rug being delivered), organized the pantry, packed the hospital bag, and the list goes on. Considering little Maci could sneak up on us anytime in the next month or so, I want to be prepared!

Side note: As I'm typing this, I can here Isaiah playing upstairs in her room, pulling everything off the shelves and having a good ol' time with dada. I can't even tell you how many times I've cleaned Maci's room. And she's not even here to make a mess of it. Being a parent to young children is comical.

There Is Enough Time

When I became a new mom of two, my mom gifted me a book she read when she became a mom called 'There is Enough Time.' It was really old, an "original." It was written in the fifties is what I'm saying. I read most of it and nodded my head in a agreement a few times but mostly, it felt so irrelevant. Raising kids in the 50's was very different than it is now. But here's what I've noticed since I've been holed up with my kids for the last two weeks (yep, tonight is my 14 day mark), there is enough time. It's been forced upon us, yes. Something we Americans don't like - how dare the government tell us what to do? (gasp!) - it's like we got grounded because the neighborhood bully got us in trouble. But when all the "fun stuff" got canceled - the sports, the plays, the parties, the people - we were forced to reevaluate our days. It turns out, when you have nowhere to go there is enough time. Enough time to dance, to go on fam...

20 Meals for $200

Good Evening! World's worst blogger here. (Seriously. I will never be consistent here, folks.) But I have some meal prepping for you: 20 meals for less than $200. I'm not sure the exact amount because I bought groceries for the week and a year's supply of baking ingredients (for all the Christmas goodies) and frankly, I don't want to do the math. But it's definitely in the just under $200 ball park. Let's get started... Menu | Simple Spaghetti & Meatballs Tuscan Chicken Cajun Smoked Sausage & Rice Pulled Pork Pork Tacos Teriyaki Salmon Vegetarian Chili Chuck Roast Winger's Chicken and Waffles Southwest Chicken Y'all. These are the most simple meals to throw together. Because Christmas. And I'm not going to busy myself being extra when I want to enjoy the holidays. It took me about an hour. Grocery List | 2 packages of spaghetti noodles 2 packages of rigatoni 1-2 cartons of broth (this is to add to the meals when cookin...
