22 week belly


Here it is my 22 week belly picture. I feel so pregnant this week. It's hard to sleep at night and I get leg cramps really bad. Oh the joys of being pregnant.

Bugaboo Stroller


Does anyone have this stroller? If so, is it really worth that high price tag it has? I really like it but it's a bit pricey. Do you have a favorite stroller that you can recommend? I'm in search for a really great infant/toddler stroller.

Cute Shirt


As I was searching the web today for some cute fall maternity clothes I decided to look at one site that I like for just plain t-shirts. Downeastbasics.com is where I like to get shirts to layer with other things. Anyways I came across this really cute shirt that I really like and want but for now will have to wait because it is not maternity. Just wanted to share my cute find for the day.

Fall is in the air

May not be for everyone but here on Long Island it has been cold these past few days. My favorite time of the year is Fall. The cooler weather, the leaves change and my favorite part is time for comfort food. I love soups in the fall. I wanted to share one of my favorite ones. It is so easy to make and so good.

Southwestern Chicken Soup

1 12 ounce jar salsa verde
3 cups cooked chicken pieces (1 small deli-counter rotisserie chicken)
1 15 ounce can cannellini beans, drained
3 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon cumin (optional)
2 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup sour cream
tortilla chip (optional)

Empty the salsa into a large saucepan. Cook 2 minutes over medium-high heat, then add the chicken, beans, broth, and cumin (if desired). Bring to a boil, lower heat to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Top each bowl with a sprinkling of onions, a dollop of sour cream, and some torilla chips. For a soupier dish, use 4 cups of broth.

Now I know it's not quite fall yet, but thought I would share one of my favorite soups. Enjoy.

Double Trouble

IT'S A GIRL!!!! We found out today we are having another girl. WOW is all I can say. Abby is SO excited and all I can really say is that Braden was a little sad. We are excited though.
