Food= Happiness



Well I have been fortunate enough to receive meals every night since last night (which has been heaven, food really just makes me so happy, ask my husband he can testify). 
I am now back to thinking up meals and making them. Which I don't mind making them at all, it is the coming up with something to eat. I still have my freezer meals that I made but I want to save those for nights that I don't have time to cook. 

Anyways I have been meaning to post my bread recipe (actually it is my Dad's recipe)

Oh and have I mentioned that I love being a mom!? This post has taken me forever to write because I keep stopping to munch on my little guy's face. I really can't leave him alone. Luckily he doesn't mind being kissed all the time. Tay and I take turns munching him. 
LOVE MY BABY BOY!

A Slice Of Heaven



I am so grateful I am able to stay at home and be a mom to this innocent, sweet, loving baby. I was worried that I would miss our single life with no baby, but this little boy has added so much joy and happiness that I didn't know I could feel. I am so grateful for the time Tay and I got to have with just each other but this little guy has added so much to our marriage and I am grateful for that. I look forward to all the stages, even the  hard ones that I know will come with being a mother, but luckily I am not alone. I have the loving Lord that entrusted us with one of his children and my supportive husband.
