Potty Perfect

So my gorgeous, independent daughter is 100% potty trained at preschool. Yay! That means she can move up with her class at the end of this month. That also means I know that little chicken can do it, so I've gotten "serious" about the potty at home. 

Finally used up all the diapers. She's in pull-ups only. Yes, I know. Putting her in real panties would be more effective, but I just don't have that much faith yet. Here's why. She refuses to potty at home now. 

Week of August 7

We usually do about an 80/20 or 90/10 vegetarian to meat percentage at home, but the hubs is begging me for meat this week. I surrender! He gets his meat.

Family Photos and Outfits

Before adding to our family, I wanted to capture our small little unit as it is. So back in June we had family photos taken on a hot day at a local ranch. 

Recipe Review: Brie & Bacon Quiche

Whoa, mama! This Brie and Bacon quiche is NOT healthy. But it is so, so, so good; I could have eaten the entire pie.
