I would be practical like this for sure, too.

I think you brown it first on saute setting, and set it on the rack, but I am sure you can find the recipe on Pinterest.<br />Good luck on finding your dream home! There is so much to look for, especially in older homes as the wiring was very minimal in those days unless it has been brought up to code. And closets were non-existent or very small! I think people used wardrobes a lot in those days. But looking can be fun, so enjoy the hunt!Marlyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14759100075048865240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-26526163728616957342017-09-24T07:58:22.400-05:002017-09-24T07:58:22.400-05:00I think it makes perfect sense as to why you won&#...I think it makes perfect sense as to why you won't have a dedicated nursery for the baby! And I think we can get all too caught up in making these "perfect" nurseries nowadays - I don't even remember if my mom decorated a nursery for me and I still love her! ;) <br /><br />I definitely hope you can find a way to slow down your schedule. Two commitments a week sounds like a good solution. That's the most I will allow myself - anything more and I start feeling grumpy about not having enough me-time.

Heck, there are even turkeys that cook from frozen, haha! I try to explain this to my friends who are very, very intimated by cooking poultry in general. The veggies cooked in the chicken juices look, and sound yummmmmmy!<br /><br />Your schedule is definitely busy. I hope October is slower for you.<br /><br />Jolene - EverydayFoodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11490816021651698189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-39372050216261627422017-09-23T11:06:18.431-05:002017-09-23T11:06:18.431-05:00Sounds like good plans and a good week!

I'm glad you are showing.<br /><br />Kevin and Molly took a room and made it a nursery/multi by having the walls a neutral color and then bright, younger colors and kid things for the crib fabric, pictures on the walls, that sort of thing. I don't know if it's still there but they had a small sofa bed there as well, so it could convert if needed. Not having it obviously baby (the walls are a pale gray so the accessories are bright) it will hold value for resale. Worth considering if you don't find your house. Best not to rush it just to do it - you are smart there.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-3893071104046515772017-09-22T22:31:03.715-05:002017-09-22T22:31:03.715-05:00I have something on each weekend from now through ...I have something on each weekend from now through october. And i'm glad! But so far its just one thing which is preferred. I agree 2 things during the work week night is enough, and sometimes thats too much! What I remind myself, is that if I need to cancel because I'm overwhelmed, my true friends will understand. katielookingforwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02739640153974439332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-6123330627002126732017-09-22T22:13:31.155-05:002017-09-22T22:13:31.155-05:00Don’t feel bad about not having a nursery set up. ...Don’t feel bad about not having a nursery set up. We didn’t do one for Gabe until Amelia moved into her big girl room. And I still haven’t decorated his! One day. House hunting can be tiring, but exciting once you find the one!

Looking forward to our video chat this weekend!!

I bought my house before I realized there wasn't a master bathroom. You don't notice things that you don't see. As long as you have your criteria of must-have's, then you know what to look for. <br /><br />Sounds like Phil is a champ. Satisfying a house shopping pregnant wife is no small feat; I've been in the same situation. Love and blessings to you both, I hope it works out soon!Carolina Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834384961037080805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-59164833248341970732017-09-22T12:58:00.508-05:002017-09-22T12:58:00.508-05:00Reid was in our room for 6 months because we were ...Reid was in our room for 6 months because we were building our new house and ibdidnt want him to share a room and risk waking up 1 of the other 2. It worked just fine and plastic storage drawers was a great temporary dresser until we moved. You'll like having baby in your room for a bit with getting up so frequently. Hope you are feeling better. Have a great weekend.

I should feel bad but I don't. Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do! <br /><br />Fingers crossed the RA flares are non-existent and keep to a minimum the rest of your pregnancy. <br /><br />I have NEVER roasted a chicken! I should learn how/do it. My mom did it often and they smelled so good :) Norahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10673644115797850874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-21447728929978268972017-09-22T08:51:09.766-05:002017-09-22T08:51:09.766-05:00Yay for finally showing!!!

Your wee...Yay for finally showing!!! So exciting. <br /><br />Your weekend sounds perfect ! And a nice mix of relaxing and fun. <br /><br />Your chicken looks divine. I miss roasting chickens and reallly cooking - but our apartment was furnished/stocked by a college-aged boy so it just hasn't been up to par for me to really do a lot of cooking! But - it served our needs! <br /><br />What's on my mind - it's the last day I have to sign into this damn computer and talk to people who don't want to talk to me 😂Nagging them about their noncompliance to their healthcare plan. And also all the goodbyes I'm in a series of. I feel like my life is kind of a constant "cycle of goodbyes" especially in 2017!!

That's fantastic! I've heard that it's really uncomfortable for clothes to cut across the belly. I know what you mean about the personal calendar! September was insane and it snuck up on me that it became so scheduled! October is going to be another busy month! The roast chicken and vegetables look awesome!!! Speaking of bread, in general, we have bananas that are past the point where I will eat them and banana bread is Michael's favorite so I guess I should step it up and actually make him some banana bread. I saw your recipe with the chocolate chips and that looked so good! Here's to a night in and a fun weekend!Charbellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12023222309412936172noreply@blogger.com
