eat your veggies.

The many faces of the strange pregnant craving of stir fry only. Mainly consisting of veggies. It's honestly all I want.

Whatever I can find in the fridge, add a small amount of butter, garlic, and basil. Ready, set, eat!

Muffin making.

Thought we would try a recipe I found through bloglovin.

Turned out amazing! I will definitely have to add it to my recipe book.

They are fluffy and super tasty. Best part being that the boys devoured one and came begging for another.

emotions.

My emotions are feeling a little bit like an exposed nerve today. Tomorrow will be better. Almost 34 weeks.

childrens music, just how important is it?

If you are a parent, have younger siblings, or have been around children at any point in your life, you have heard at least some children's music.
I have incredibly wonderful memories tied to Sharon, Lois, and Bram, and sing my children their songs, without a thought.
I have though, always had other music playing as well. Whether it be rock, classical, hip hop, etc. You name it, it has probably played on my stereo with my children's ears within listening distance.

I am so curious what other parents think about music and their children, is it an important thing in your household? I am a really strong believer of introducing kids to many different types of music, and watching their love for it blossom. Music is and has been a very important part of my life since I can remember. 
I guess I just wonder, while fun and great, is children's music really that important? With my family we have a 'everything in moderation' philosophy, and I feel with music it is no different.

baking experiments.

I made a glaze/drizzle for some cupcakes today. We are taking them to a family dinner tonight. Somehow, I managed to make fudge? Pretty tasty! 

The glaze contains butter, white chocolate, icing sugar, and milk. If asked to make it again.... Not sure I could pull it off!

Also, on another note, these beach rocks are going to turn themselves into Christmas presents :) I will post the different results.

And to end my random post today, here are some better photos of my beautiful, sunny, and bright sun flowers!

birthday, beach day.

This week being the boys birthdays in our household, we have been celebrating just about everyday in some way or another.

We headed to build-a-bear after many mall trips of them asking so politely. They really enjoyed the experience. We also had a lovely evening at the beach, had some spider inspired ice cream cakes and will be heading to the zoo this weekend! Somewhere amongst all the celebrating the boys still managed to make mommy feel special, with some lovely flowers!

As always, I'm better with pictures, so here is out week thus far.

Happy Birthday, to my sweet boys. We love you more then words could ever tell.
