wednesday late post.

I had the whoooollle day off of work today, man I love Wednesdays. Not that I don't enjoy my job at the shop, it really makes my heart smile... But to have a full day to yourself, to do only what's on your to do list, or simply nothing at all? I'm just sayin', it's something I look forward to. Today's off day was especially heart filling, because it was spent doing all housewifey things... Just the way I like it. 


Simple. 


I seriously DO NOT like when people complain about how life is soooo crazy and yada yada, but lately I have felt a little overwhelmed myself, so today was super nice :)  


A clean house, fresh baked pumpkin bread & Christmas music all before noon? ... Yes, today was a day in need of some Christmas music, don't judge. Pure magic! Now I'm off to enjoy some homemade enchiladas & some Kung Fu Panda 2.


Happy Wednesday!
Oh! And little boy bump, in case you missed it yesterday :) he's weighing in over a pound now & about 8.5 inches long, not including his little legs! Woohoo!

a spaghetti squash baby.

happy wednesday! 
we are halfway through the week, which means i am behind on my weekly update (shocking, i know :)) and am 21.5 weeks now or about 5 months for those of you normal peeps counting in months! baby boy is about the size of a spaghetti squash from the tiny little hairs that are now growing on his head to his cutie little bootie, and he's ONE POUND! i love him so. 
no fun photos this week, but instead a recipe! spaghetti squash with brown sugarrrr, yumm!!
enjoy!

Ingredients

1 spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise & seeded
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons cold butter
1/4 cup brown sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large baking dish with aluminum foil.
  2. Generously spread the softened butter over the flesh of the squash; lie in the prepared baking dish with the cut sides facing down.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Flip the squash and put about half the butter and about half the brown sugar in each of the cavities of the squash halves. Return to the oven until the outer shell is soft, about 10 minutes more. Spoon the flesh of the squash into a bowl to serve.



it’s the most wonderful time of the year!
