{Does anyone else love Monopoly as much as we do??}

{Peach Buzz}

So remember a while back when we picked all those peaches? Those beautiful, fresh, yummy, juicy peaches?? Wonder what we did with all of them?

{We just ate them.. simple as that!}

{William made peach sangria}

{I made my, non-alcoholic version of sangria}

{Peach slices & 7 up :)  }

{We made Peach Pancakes!!! Yum!}

{And saved the best for last, we made Peach crisp! So delicious!} 

Happy Sunday Everyone :) 

{Going a little crazy.. I think}

So the last few weeks I have really been panicking about the cleanliness of our home & of myself. Sounds so strange, I know. But everyday I take up to three showers, simply because I feel like I'm dirty & yucky! Did anyone else experience this when they were pregnant?? & the cleanliness of our home, our home is always pretty clean, but lately I just feel like everything is really really dirty!!! {Must be my the hormones :) }
But anyways, the whole reason I am telling you all this, {because I  know you're all thinking TMI, ashley}, is because I wanted to tell you what I did yesterday. I'm pretty proud of myself, I must say..  Ready for it? I rearranged our entire downstairs, completely by myself!! {I know, not something a pregnant lady should be doing} I moved all the couches and tables & everything. Our house looks so much better & a lot less cluttered. William, of course, came home & was kind of upset @ me for doing it all myself. But I just couldn't help it. It was driving me crazy!!!
So here are some after pictures of our little home :) Tell me what you think!

Oh & I almost forgot, I am now 11 weeks pregnant! Baby Johnston is growing so fast, time has just flown by! Pretty soon I will be done with my first trimester {Woohoo!} I still don't 'look' pregnant yet, even though I feel very pregnant. But soon enough my belly will pop!

Hope you're all having a lovely week! Any plans for the weekend? 

{11 weeks} 

{Cloth Diapering}

Hey guys! Its been a while, I know, but life is busy!
I thought I would take a little time today & talk about some of our plans for baby johnston.
As some of you may already know, I will be staying home with our baby, to raise it & nurture it to the best of my ability. I am excited about this :)
 I am also planning on breast feeding, & im very excited about that to! {I know, awkward thought, but anyways} {If any of you mamas out there have some tips or advice, please comment!!} & i will expand on this more at a later time.
The biggest  thing we will be doing, that I am VER VERY excited about is Cloth diapering. I know, I know, so old fashioned. But it is something I have always wanted to do {serisously, it i somehting i have talked about for years!}, & now it is a lot easier & a lot more convenient than it used to be.
The brand we have decided to go with is Fuzzibunz. {Cute name right?} One of my best friends, Andrea, {@ babystepstomom.com} has done cloth diapering with fuzzibunz with her sweet baby girl, Linnea, from day one & has loved it! She has inspired me to really go through with this and give it a try!

These are fuzzibunz diapers. They are all cloth with snaps on the front and sides to keep the diaper on your baby. It also has adjustable leg holes so that it is a perfect fit no matter the size of your baby. They have a removable insert that you take out and clean. They are completely machine washable too! {So no diaper service} The best thing about these diapers is they grow with your baby! You can use  them all the way from Newborn to when they start potty training!

 The way we think of it, it may be a large cost up front, but in the long run it will save us tons of money! Especially since we plan on cloth diapering all of our children to come :) 

Do any of you do cloth diapering? Have any thoughts or advice? We would love to hear it!! 

{Food love}

 

{Cucumber & avocado soup, Baked potato soup, & White cheddar & broccoli mac n cheese!}

These are just a couple of Recipes we want to try in the upcoming week :) Yum! 

Soup has been sounding very very yummy lately for some reason! So has mac n cheese! Anyone that knows me knows that throughout my entire pregnancy {so far}  I have been eating LOTS of mac n cheese & any kind of pasta dish. You would think I would be sick of it by now. Nope! 

Will post recipes soon!
