This Week's Pinterest Find

I promise this isn't turning into an all food blog, but you must try this! This Chocolate Hummus came from Pinterest, duh, and it's surprisingly really good. I would suggest using something cookie like to dip, teddy grahams, vanilla wafers, etc. While at the grocery store with Molly in tow, forgetting only  one item these days is awesome for me, but that meant the chocolate hummus was being eaten with apples. Granny smith apples...wouldn't suggest it. However, I did scrounge up some of the above delicious almond butter bars (a staple in  my pantry) and the dip was SO MUCH yummier. Enjoy!

On the Menu Tonight

Spicy Corn soup

This delicious looking soup comes from a fellow Hokie @ Young Married Chic. I planned to try it last night, but was just too exhausted to cook and clean up the mess, so it's on the menu for tonight.

A side note: The writer of the Young Married Chic blog is also writing a book called A Taste of Virginia Tech. Be sure to check it out!

My new kicks

Kitchen Love

Lately, I have been envying big kitchens in the hopes that sometimes I will have one. Here are some of my faves.

I love this farm house sink and open shelving. 

 

So warm and sunny.

Mother's Day Out

This week was a big week for Little Miss. Brandon and I joined the gym just before the New Year (yes, we are "those" people who start working out at the new year) and we picked this particular gym because it has a daycare. Awesome, I can go workout and Molly can play away in the daycare area...um, not so much. First and Second trips to the gym were a huge Fail. These two attempts happen just days before Molly's first day of Friday morning daycare. I was terrified.

Shockingly, daycare went so much better! I think it has something to do with the fact that I sneak out without her knowing. That isn't possible at the gym because its a all windows. I was sure they director was going to call me and say we should probably come get her because she wouldn't pull it together, but after 45 minutes she called to tell me she was doing great. Thank Goodness! Here are a few pics of her first day in her new sweater courtesy of her future BFF Helen E.

Best we could do because she isn't much for staying still for a picture.



Outdoor fun and a little relaxing

Molly loves "throwing" the ball for Cameron. It doesnt really get very far, so I am not so sure Cameron loves it.

Playing with her Chase me Kitty she got for Christmas.

This morning after Molly's wild New Years Eve. She wasn't interested in sleeping and played in her crib for over an hour. Shockingly, I made it up to see the New Year, totally wasn't expecting that.

happy 2012!!
