Linking up with Gold and Bloom and Anne in Residence to take a look at the little things in life currently...
Sending // Bills! It seems like they all come at once. Our property taxes were due and it's always painful to send that large check, but we're so thankful for our happy home and the money to pay our taxes on it. God always seems to provide and we continually pray that He be Lord of our finances.
Eating // Leftover oven-fried chicken. I thawed some drumsticks from the freezer, coated them with a delicious mix of Panko, flour, and spices and baked them in the oven in a stick of butter for some extra crispiness. We both enjoyed our 'Southern-style' meal, including my first attempt at homemade baked beans.
Dreaming // of Spring. We've had some unusually warm weather the past week or two, the snow has melted, and it feels like Spring is on its way! I know we have awhile to go but I can't help but dream of green grass and beautiful flowers and singing birds and sunshine. It's so gorgeous when the world awakens with new life.
Smelling // Everything. There's something about pregnancy that heightens your senses. This is both good and bad. One night I could have sworn there were onions on my pillow...
Hearting // The month of February. I always get so excited about it. I love Valentine's Day (even when I was single!). It's just so pretty with the pinks and reds and lace and roses-- and chocolate helps, too. ;) Then there's my birthday, too, which I tend to celebrate the whole month according to my husband, friends, and family. My birthday wishes? Card-making party with friends, organizing the basement with my husband, and a big fat German Chocolate cake.
What are you currently up to, dear friends?
Happy birthday-month!!! That's very awesome. German chocolate cake sound really delicious now. I hope you get a nice big one!
ReplyDeleteI finally found a recipe that does not have egg yolks in the frosting-- baby wouldn't like that ;)
DeleteA card-making party sounds like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteYes, great girlfriend time!!
DeleteWandered over from the link up. Congratulations on the pregnancy. I remember the sensitive nose of pregnancy. Thank goodness it didn't stick around... many scents trigger migraines for me. I'm much happier with a baby in my arms and not a pain in my head :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cara! Migraines sound awful! Aw, I can't wait to have our baby in our arms!
DeleteNow I want spring ha ha even though I put in my currently that I am loving all of the snow we're getting here in MN and I am but birds singing and green grass sound lovely too! All in it's time, right?
ReplyDeletehaha! Snow can be cozy and fun, too! I bet it's cold there!
DeleteThat chicken sounds DELICIOUS! Yum!
ReplyDeleteAnd so easy!
DeleteI'm dreaming of the same thing!
ReplyDeleteIt's coming!! At least that's what I'm telling myself as I drive through an inch of snow today... ;)
DeleteHi I found your blog via the linkup! The oven fried chicken sounds yummy I will have to try that! I am also dreaming of warmer weather for a change. Maybe soon! Keep up the great work :)
