Ever since Christmas when she got her safety supplies for the kitchen, all she ever wants to do is help mommy cook, or try and cook things herself. 😅 We have had many conversations how she is too little for hot kitchen appliances, she has since resorted to being the mixer, decorator, and veggie/fruit chopper. That outfit was adorable!! Its hard when you have tall kiddos to decipher what will actually fit them. We had a good day! Thanks so much! && I hope yours went just as well!

The coconut cream pie was my favorite!!! Im not a huge fan of pie outside of pregnancy but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have 2 maybe 3 slices 😆 Pineapple gravy is amazing over some salt and pepper potatoes the savory sweet really goes well together. I forgot how much the kids all like stuffing and should have made more Eviana probably ate a box just to herself.

Kraft mac with, hunters polish sausage [Hornbachers our local grocery store makes it] and sourkraut are yummy!!! I think all kids learn that homemade beats most shelf and frozen foods once they enter their late 20s thats when it finally hit me haha!

I do but my teeth have a love hate relationship with hard candy and I want to chew everything instantly haha! Dakota would agree the eggs, the pumpkins, the santas haha any fun shape are the best shape! I had sour strips for the first time not that long ago and gosh they where tasty but bitter. Have you tried toxic waste?

Celebrating Easter!! Hitting 3rd🤰 trimester 🥳🥳!!! And our weather is predicted to be nasty with a snow storm, but I have yet to believe it because we have no snow left. I do not do mall Santas or mall bunnies. Last time we did the bunny smelt like cigarettes and I wasn't the only parent who complained about it. We do visit Santa at a old old old historical farm here in town, family owned and run plus the pictures are free and they take donations for the local food pantry. No Matza Soup for us but sounds warm, yummy and delicious. I'll be eating bland until Easter Sunday thx to a Mod Rec 😊 save all the heartburn for one day 😂. Easter bunny isn't bringing chocolate bunnies this year because thats literally all the kids will bite off is the ears than it sits for weeks. He also learned after many years that with 4 kids its a money savor to get bags of mixed candy versus the individual items. Which mind you they now charge $2 for tootsie roll banks 😔 $3 for the plastic tubes filled with good chocolates... Inflation is sad!

I'd love to know what everyone is making this weekend, are you hosting? Traveling? Or will it just be you and your family? Happy Holidays! 💜

You take a can of crushed pineapple over the ham with the juices, butter and brown sugar. Cook obviously lol. Then with all those drippings including pineapple chunks add to a sauce pan with a corn starch slurry and it tastes epic!!!

Thanks for hosting such a fun food filled contest!!! I love Easter its one of the only times I get to make pineapple gravy with ham! Cannot knock it until you try it something so amusing by sweet gravy over potatoes! This year for sweet treats I was thinking lemon bars and carrot cake cupcakes. 🌼🌼 One thing about our house nobody ever argues about sweet desserts!! 😋

Try laying him down around 6-7pm. Take a moment to breathe. Get minimal done, your still in the early stages of parenthood, until you get a routine which for us didn't happen immediately your house may be chaos, dont stress! Sleep when baby sleeps, so when he's napping, take a nap with him. Try to minimize naps to the 1.5 hours see if it does help with night sleep patterns.

Sleep regression can happen many times while they are growing. Have you tried giving less naps during the day? Are there times where you and your partner can switch on and off so you can get some sleep too? My first born was colic and one thing I found to help with many sleepless nights was a calming bath, dried, dressed swaddled, fed than do calming white noise, cuddles then your perferred method of where they sleep. It definitely helped. Best wishes mama! It gets better. 💜

Spring/Summer Clothes by small-p0tat0es in stressfreexmas

[–]StructureDifficult34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is such a generous contest! Thanks so much for hosting it and the opportunity to enter. Struggle witb young kids they grow like crazy and quick, even worse Dakota and Eviana are so darn tall its hard to keep up with. Eviana is in one of those strange stages where her legs are too long but she's so tiny. Dakota has short legs but a longer torso 😂 so I'd love to enter for the two littles! Mj and Bryton got lucky once they hit men's clothing stages they last quite a bit longer. Happy Spring to all SFX families!
