Pizza Dough Rolls

So i have found a fun, easy, simple ingredient snack that kimmel and i like alot. Its the Pizza Dough Rolls from Let's Dish . This girl has some awesome recipes check her out! I made the pizza dough in the bread maker which takes 2 hours, then rolled it out put the ingredients on and rolled it up! cook until brown tops, serve with marinara sauce! SOOO GOOD! You should try it too! Pizza Dough 1 tsp garlic salt 2 tsps basil 1 cup sliced pepperoni, chopped 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese preheat oven 425 divide dough in half (i didn't do this and they came out TOOO big) roll each half into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick and 12 inches long sprinkle each half with equal amounts of 'toppings' start at short end roll up dough tightly to form a log slice into 1 inch pieces place rolls on greased baking sheet (or baking stone) bake 10 mins or until browned on top See easy!

It has been fun watching our families get excited about our lil baby boy due in Feb. My sister kept purchasing these awesome onsies and said she needed to know the gender soon cause she wanted to get specific. Its fun to see the ones she has picked out! We are excited for our lil Mister to wear them! She has four kids of her own they all are excited in their own way. Her youngest, Max, really likes Uncle Andrew and she told me just the other day that Max had picked out a gift for the baby but was really for Uncle Andrew! So sweet and thoughtful! :) Really do wish we lived closer. Its fun to see all the sayings that stores put on onsies and how with each gender it seems there are specific things they must put. I think my favorite i have seen so far is 'if you think i am cute you should see my dad' :) What saying have you seen for lil ones that makes you smile? Did you receive one from a friend or family member that  was just embarrassing?? I am curious?

Two lego towers distracted.

This weekend our church hosted a ladies retreat with guest speaker Pricilla Shire. She was incredible! Such a blessing to us all. I had never heard her before but my mom had told me she was amazing so i knew i was in for a treat! One of the traits of a great speaker/preacher is their illustrations and connecting to their points. This lady had wonderful life stories that just seemed fit for her to use to share with the world about God and his thoughts. There were several that i came home and shared with Kimmel and was just in so happy i remembered! haha Pricilla shared a story about her youngest boy and his legos that hit home with me. She began by saying how much she loved to play legos with him, and how fun it is to build lego towers. They begin to build a tower. She said it never fails that after about 2 mins he gets distracted by either the other two boys in her family, the tv, or just something. After 2 mins of that new thing he gets distracted and comes back to his mom and i

Cloth Diapers

I have begun the journey of research for cloth diapers. Its CRAZY the options you have! The fanciness and yet simplicity of it all. It can be overwhelming. I am pretty sure my sister thinks i am crazy for wanting to do this, but i love the idea of saving money and leaving a little less of a 'carbon footprint'. There are just things that you can put your mind to and do, even if its the 'hard way'. But if this is all i know then it won't be hard. My niece currently uses cloth diapers, so i am getting some trial time with her style. It has helped me form an opinion but would like to try some others. There are some trial packs that i might sign up for to give it a shot. Most of my friends that have done cloth recommend for the first month or so to buy disposable cause they are just so tiny that the cloths swallow them up! haha Excited to see which ones we choose! Do you use cloth? Which is the best one for you?

Another Favorite at our house

Mythbusters is a show that makes science cool! The scientific method is put into practice with each idea or myth. I wonder if any science classes watch episodes of the topic they are studying. I know i would if i was a teacher. I remember in my Junior year Physics class we watched Bill Nygh the Science Guy! haha it was fun and educational!  I must admit this too is a Kimmel liked first thing. He would watch marathons of this show and i was kind of like ..eh its alright.  I see now that its pretty cool! The people are definitely entertaining to say the least. :) It is amazing all the stuff they go thru just to prove something to be busted or not. Pretty cool stuff! I have learned a lot too, some necessary for life others not so necessary! Do you and your family Mythbusters? What other shows do you think make science cool? 

Something borrowed for something BLUE

So one of my goals to save money during this pregnancy was to get as many pregnancy clothes from friends and family. To borrow and share clothes is awesome! I didn't do it much growing up, we didn't do that in our family. haha So now is my chance. Its been amazing! Thursday we found out that we are having a lil boy come february! We are excited! Andrew took off work and was able to be there for the sonogram. My mom has been here all week so she too got a peak at the little pea! He was just a moving around and the lady had to keep following him to try to find all his organs and take pictures. Its incredible those little machines and what they can see. Even more incredible is the technician how she can tell one grey spot is an organ and the other darker grey is just something else. We are keeping the name under wraps for a while...we have shared with family but for now that is it...it may change you never know :) We have the baby room under full construction and will keep
