Brunch at 101

Brian and I started making brunch every single weekend before Kate. It kind of became our Sunday routine. Go to church, make brunch, nap. Now that we're figuring out a schedule and getting into the groove with Kate we're getting back to some of our old favs. 

Like Eggs Benedict. And now that I'm not prego, I don't have to worry about under-cooked eggs, mimosas and hollandaise sauce. I actually just snapped this picture because I thought the table looked pretty. I have no recipe to share. But if you want the recipe for the hollandiase, I'm sure I could get Brian to guest blog ;) 

Babies, Babies, Babies

A couple weeks ago I had some girlfriends over for Friendsgiving/Friendsmas. Our group has grown by so much just this year!! I'm so glad we grabbed a picture of our sweet little ones. Getting Reed to sit still long enough for a photo proved difficult. Most of my pictures I have half of him. The live photos are so fun!!

Kate - Month 2

Same Kate, same. This is usually how I feel about getting my picture taken. Since Kate looks exactly like her daddy, I will say she got this from me. Except Brian probably hates pictures more than both of us combined! But that's not what this post is about. It's about Kate's 2nd month!!

Kate's 1st Month

This sweet girl cooperated perfectly for 1 month old pictures! She even threw her hands in the air to celebrate! I love this little picture of Kate. That outfit was so soft and sweet. She looks so good in pale pink. And the blanket she's laying on was Brian's when he was a baby. I love this picture!

Favorite Baby Ish

I had no idea how much STUFF you needed for a baby. I read article after article about the "essentials" and so. many. blog. posts. about what you don't need. Truth be told, I just now know what I need months later. And I've decided, it's different for everyone. Baby brands and items are purely a personal (or baby) preference. 

What I did know.. I didn't want a million things flooding my house that essentially do the same thing. So I focused my research and energy into only getting a few things. And this post is where I landed. I put together a couple lists of the things I'm so glad we have and then some of my favorite brands for the things you absolutely have to have! Who knew I would have a favorite kind of burp cloth.. I always though they were crated equally ;) 

Warning: this has turned into one very long, yet very informative post.

Thai Fried Riced Cauliflower

We took a weekend trip to Oxford, MS in October to visit David and for the guys to go to the Arkansas/Ole Miss game. I stayed home with Kate and just happened to stumble upon a cooking show called, "The Kitchen."

I had never seen it because pre-baby I wasn't much of a TV watcher. Now after 3 months home- I've watched and insane amount of the Food Network and HGTV. Love you Property Brothers! Flip or Flop ATL = <3.
