In full transparency, I wanted to make quesadilla uncrustables, but bought the wrong kind of tortilla. If you want to make those definitely get flour tortillas not corn. 

These are easy to make though, just use a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut your tortillas, then fill and grill on the stove!

My baby is finally feeling better, thank goodness! My baby is finally feeling better, thank goodness! I'm going to be honest, I am exhausted. The emotional toll this week has taken on me has just made me a new level of tired. 

I saw something the other day and it really stuck with me. 

Nobody talks about this when you are thinking about having kids. They talk about the financial piece and the how it's going to change your life piece. But nobody talks about the risk you take by having something you love so much and all the worry that comes with it. 

It's a risk every day to have your whole heart walking around, and going to school and picking up illnesses. There is so much worry and stress that comes with it.

But on the other hand, what a privilege it is to have something you love that much. I have never loved anything the way I love this little boy.

While sometimes the emotions, intrusive thoughts, worry and stress get the best of me, I am grateful every second of every day that I get to be this perfect, beautiful tiny human's mom.

Thanks for all the sweet messages of encouragement this week. It's so nice to know I'm not alone. I'm very grateful for all of you!

Christmas, Holiday Season 2021, Home Decor · November 4, 2021

Holiday Decor Finds from Target

When do you decorate for Christmas? Do you decorate the day after Halloween or are you strictly no Christmas until after Thanksgiving? It took a few years of convincing Stephen, but now we decorate after Halloween.

Today, I’m sharing some fun Holiday Decor Finds from Target! I love a classic gold, white and green look. Stephen likes red, so we do have pops of red throughout our house, but these are my picks this year!

  • White Christmas Tree Pillow – I love this pillow because it isn’t totally in your face Christmas. Just a cute hint of holiday cheer!
  • Antique Gold trees (both large and medium) – These are so pretty! They come in two sizes and a perfect for a buffet table or a tablescape.
  • Woven bell ornaments – I love these pretty woven, neutral bell ornaments. They will look so pretty on your tree or in garland going up your banister or around your mirror.
  • Start tree topper – This start tree topper is such a pretty addition to your classic tree!
  • Pine and eucalyptus garland – I’m really excited about this because we already use eucalyptus in our regular decorating. So this is a very easy way to tie in Christmas vibes without totally redoing our normal decor.
  • Knit stocking – I love this classic chunky knit stocking. It’s so pretty for neutral holiday decor.
  • Mini trees (both large and medium) – I love the smaller trees and the pots they come in. There are so many cute ideas for these trees! Could also serve as a kid’s tree in their room.

How do you decorate your house? Do you prefer neutrals or go all out in green and red?

Today we are making a Valentine's Day waffle platt Today we are making a Valentine's Day waffle platter with nutella filled uncrustable waffles. I do realize waffles don't have crusts, but it helps keep the Nutella inside! 

How to make them:
-First, mix your batter and dye it pink with a little bit of food coloring. 
-Then make your waffles, I found this cute @bydash mini waffle maker for Valentine's Day!
-Once they are done, spread a little nutella on a waffle.
-Add a second waffle to the top and use a heart shaped uncrustable cutter to make an uncrustable waffle. 
-Arrange these on a cute plate, add some strawberries, serve and enjoy!

What's your vote on Nutella? Delicious or overrated?
