micah // 3 months

this cutie pie turned 3 months a little while ago and i am just now posting... oops!

this little man gave his first giggles to daddy, rolled over for the first time, loves his jolly jumper, has been transitioned to cloth diapers, loves when daddy comes home, enjoys sleeping on our walks, chews his thumb and pointer finger, has a dimple, loves to smile, eyes up our food, visited another province and kicks his way across the room. 

we love you little man. you are filled with so much joy and are so sweet and tender when you tell us stories. you bring so much joy into our lives and we pray for you daily. 

these are a few of my favorite things

 ok there are seriously so many adorable accessories, handmade goodies, and mouth watering recipes online! there is inspiration everywhere you look.

and i really love when those cute things have a great cause. 

this anchor scarf?! 

way to cute for words and you are supporting a great cause when you shop from she does justice

 this amazing printable is...free!

i think i need to own this necklace...or anything from this amazing shop!

 my tummy is rummbling and my mouth is watering! 

fresh summer salad or grilled summer salad?!?

i'll take both!

how spec-tacular is this pouch!

shop my pantry :: week 1

please tell me i'm not the only one that stocks up on groceries when there is a good sale?

this little habit along with very giving grandparents has resulted in very full freezers and pantry

so i am challenging myself to shop my pantry and freezer for the next two weeks and 

maybe even stretch it to three weeks?!

the rules!

- in the next two week only milk / almond milk can be bought

- cook as clean as possible with the ingredients we have on hand

- use veggies that are growing in the garden

- be creative & go with the flow

- no eating out if i don't feel like cooking

 

i have found a few new recipes on pinterest that i hope to make.

so here is this weeks menu

monday - at my moms for canada day celebrations!

tuesday - bbq chicken quinoa salad

wednesday - create your own rice bowl :: a few different chicken rice bowl ideas here, here and here

thursday - tex mex mac and cheese :: using frozen chili and mixing it with homemade mac and cheese

friday - friends wedding!

saturday - crock pot chicken

so there are two cheat days but that's ok!

our lunches will be left overs from the day before.
