ERGObaby Carrier


I sold my Bjorn...it killed my back and shoulders. Has anyone used this? Post your thoughts please. There were two mothers on my last flight that LOVE their Ergo carriers. One of them had a 2 1/2 year old in hers!!

I'm Sorry...WHAT???!?

The Queen Doesn't Cook #4

Decorating cakes/cupcakes is a lot of fun!! I'm going to make all of our birthday cakes from now on.

Barbara and Beth did most of the decorating of the cupcakes. They turned out so cute!


The success of the cupcakes inspired me to decorate a big cake as a pirate face.


P.S. Neither of these desserts come close to being on the Weight Watchers Core list, but they were super yummy and fully worth the points.

Before and After #1

BEFORE:


AFTER:


It has looked better, but this is good enough for me...at least for today.

The Queen Doesn't Cook #3 - Chicken Meat

Because organic chicken is so expensive, I buy a whole raw chicken and cook it for Cohen. It is actually easier than I thought it would be. Barb showed me how to throw it in a pot of water with the liver and boil it until it is at 180 degrees. The part that I HATE is taking the meat off of the bone. Many of you know that I am a clean freak (don't look at the counter in the pictures...we're still unpacking). Taking chicken off of the bone requires messy hands. I've learned to get over my fear of dirty fingers long enough to make Cohen's food.



Mission accomplished.

Tagged!

I was tagged by Trista back in July and am just getting to work on it. We've been a little busy...

3 joys:
1. Cohen's belly laugh
2. When Mark gets home from work
3. When the house is all clean

3 fears:
1. Spiders
2. Sink holes or getting crushed in an earthquake
3. My anxiety

3 goals:
1. Organization in everything
2. Study more about the LDS Gospel
3. Continue to exercise

3 Obsessions:
1. Weight Watchers
2. Organizing
3. Denise Austin videos

3 Surprising Facts:
1. If I ever join a band, I want to be the back up singer. I don't need to be the center of attention, but I do want to have an interesting job.
2. I've wanted to be a personal trainer for several years and even dream of being an aerobics instructor.
3. While I LOVE the beach, I am too afraid of ocean creatures to stay in the water very long.

I tag Paisley, Mom (when she gets her blog up and running), and Beth.
