Cooking segment

I had to post this clip of my pal Stephanie. She was on Fox 10 News doing a segment on summer desserts. You can get a feel for her super bubbly and sweet personality, and she cooks with (usually-haha) great ingredients. Her blog link -Chef Tess Bakeresse- is on my sidebar so go check it out! Good job, Steph!!! You rocked it!

And while I'm mentioning her blog, I have to say that I used to HATE cooked oatmeal but since I have started cooking it the way she tells to on her blog, I LOVE it. I mean love, as in I crave it most days. No more cooked mashy grossness for me! So, while you are there looking around, check out how to cook oatmeal and give it a try. Yum!

More baby pics!

Things I've learned post-partum

~and some pictures taken by my photog. neighbor and friend. (more to come!)


* Week two post-baby/surgery is infinitely better than week one.
* I would have DIED without my mother-in-law here taking care of us.
* I (((heart))) Boppy pillows.
* Having my kids and DH around me is literally healing to my body and soul.
* My faith in Priesthood blessings is increased every time I have one.
* Dehydration is evil, EVIL I tell you! Water is my friend.
* It feels soooo good to start keeping my own house again. The break was nice, but so is getting back into the swing of things.
* Small children think babies can't hear or see them unless they are within an inch or two of the baby's face.
* Babies look smaller when their Daddy's hold them.

* Time flies. Each day in the life of a newborn brings so many changes.
