Friday Fun!! Friday Fun!!
Happy Friday, everyone!!
This week, I did lots of stuff.
I made food.
I ate food.
My baby belly got huger.
I made chili dogs for lunch. Like, a lot. It doesn’t make my heartburn very happy, but I just can’t quit them.
I’ve been training for Mother’s Day. And by training, I mean practicing taking naps and giving orders. My son asked me what I wanted for Mother’s Day and I gave him two suggestions: #1 He could be a human footstool for the entire day OR #2 He could give me a signed contract stating that he will never move out, get married, or grow a beard.
He said he thinks he’ll just get me some jewelery or a prayer book. Fine.
Also, today is my wedding anniversary!! We plan on celebrating by eating pizza and renting The Vow on Pay Per View. Because nothing says romance like cheesy carbs, a snuggly blanket, and Channing Tatum professing his undying love. It’s true.
Of course, I did other stuff this week too. Wanna see?
First off, I did a fun interview for Taste and Tell HERE. I don’t ever do interviews, so it made me feel sort of famous (around these parts, we call it Too Big For Your Britches), but sadly, she did not ask me to fax her an autograph.
Yes, I still use a fax machine. Scanners are from the devil, trust me on this.
I made Mini Rolo Flurries!! Sadly, a certain fast food chain (I’m looking at you, McDonald’s) decided to stop making them. So I made my own. Easy.
On That’s What She WE Said, Whatta Man Monday is the True Blood Edition. Head over and vote!!
I made Strawberry Cheesecake Cupcakes. LOVED.
Are you in a deep, dark, Hunger-Games-Is-Over Depression? Try Divergent, by Veronica Roth. I’m sharing my thoughts on the book HERE.
I made Peanut Butter Rocky Road Bars. A world without them is a sad thing, indeed.
Stuff that caught my eye this week:
DIY Homemade Chocolate Wafers from Pennies on a Platter
Sunshine Sweet: Citrus Curd from Sweetapolita
Baked BBQ Pork Taquitos from Pink Parsley
Do we follow each other on Pinterest? I need new inspiration!! Follow me HERE, and leave your Pin Name in the comments so I can follow you too!!
Have a very happy weekend!!





Thanks for visiting my blog! I realize you could be doing more important things with your time. Like watching the news or washing socks. I hope you stay awhile. Much more fun than socks, I promise. 





You are just the cutest pregnant lady every! I am so jealous! Enjoy your mother’s day! :)
That was supposed to say “ever.” And I am a freak so I had to correct it :)
kevans3681!
First, HAPPY anniversary!!! :)
Second, I love that whole “He could give me a signed contract stating that he will never move out, get married, or grow a beard.” I’m totally typing that up and having it set out with a pen when kiddo gets home from school. Side note: he’s starting to get peach fuzz on his upper lip and it’s killing me!
Third, Jon David’s FACE in that picture! Oh, I LOVE it!
Forth, loving your hair.
Fifth, I’ll stop blabbing now. Well, happy Mother’s Day weekend!
Happy anniversary! And here’s my pinterest page:

That sounds like something I would force my husband to do on our anniversary too! LOL!
uck I did not like the Vow, and I love mushy stuff like that.
if you don’t want Channing Tatum to be ruined, maybe you should skip over the next line…
notice his teeth in that movie, they are awful! I never noticed before and since I noticed, it’s done-zo with the Chrussing (channing+crushing)
on another note i would probably die if you followed me on pinterest

thanks!
I just copied and pasted and sent to all my work buddies~ they all need a little giggle on a Friday. I totally get the signed contract, wishing I would have thought of that… this past year I have a daughter who got married and one of my twins, Cam moved to NYC. :/ Mother’s Day is going to be a sad day without his hugs. On a brighter note~~ he’s healthy and happy!!!
Happy Anniversary~~~ enjoy Channing~~ oops I meant time with the hubby!!
Happy Anniversary!! I hope you are extra pampered today and Sunday. :) I loved your interview, too!
Love, love, love that photo of you and Jon David. I love everything little thing about it. His face, your hair, your smile. Gorgeous!
But honestly, I’m all about that signed contract. I need one of those with my little guy. I totally fine with him living at home with his favorite stuffed animal, Legos and watching Bugs Bunny until the cows come home.
I should start practicing for Mother’s Day today. Thanks for the reminder!

Happy anniversary and mothers day! I hope you feel loved!
I’m jealous that you are so adorable pregnant. I have already started to blow up all over. And thanks for participating in the Blogger Spotlight – I’m the one who feels famous for having you there!!
happy anniversary! your pic is so cute – love your hair!
I’m way obsessed with pinterest. it’s unhealthy. http://pinterest.com/tkelly912/
Love the updated photos of you being pregnant. You are so darn cute!!
Happy Anniversary and Mothers Day to you! Can’t wait to hear how your Mother’s Day went :)
Between hubby and my 18 & 15 year old daughters they know how to make me feel special!
You look fabulous and I saw your interview on Deborah’s site..loved it!
Ha, just today someone asked me to fax them something and I asked my co-worker “people are still doing that?” I scanned/emailed it to the woman, hopefully she can figure it out. Pretty sure those rolo mcflurries are on my weekend to do list!
Congratulations on your growing baby belly, Kristan! You look beautiful! Have a great weekend and a very happy Mother’s Day! :)
Happy anniversary! That is my ideal way to celebrate, have fun:-)
Happy Weekend and Happy Mother’s Day!
Happy Anniversary! Pizza and a movie is the best way to celebrate!

You’re such a cute preggo Krtisan. :D Happy anniversary! And your hair looks totally rockin’ in that picture!
I’m having a heart attack that my fingers inverted letters on your name and I can’t delete my comment. AH!
Kristan…not Krtisan. I swear I know my favorite blogger’s name.
Found you through Taste and Tell. LOVE your blog. I’m excited to try your yummy recipes. Happy Anniversary!
p.s. I am on Pinterest under beckysquire. Looking forward to many yummy ideas :)
I am a boring pinner. But here goes anyway! I’m alimetcalf1
You’ll find that at least half of my pins are from your site, so that’s not going to help you much in the inspiration department.
I am going to start writing that “never leave home” contract for my little one. Well played.
You look competely adorable. Love the idea of showing your “measurements” weekly. What a pretty backyard. I’m green with envy. My Pinterest name is either “Marie M. Conroy” or maybe “Marie M.” ?? Pinterest is EVIL. It sucks you and instead of vacuuming or washing my undies I’m wearing out my eyes with Pinterest. You’re right about tires and luggage. Tires are pricey plus since I live in California they actually CHARGE you to take away your old tires. I’m not kidding. You can’t just thow them away, you have to PAY someone to properly dispose of them. The nerve. Luggage suggession. Have you seen the Vera Bradley line? I’m pretty sure they do some large duffel bags. I love the styles from years back. French Provencial fabrics. Nowadays they have bright jazzy prints so you can’t miss them in the airport. They’re made out of fabic and I doubt if they come with wheels. But, it’s a thought. There’s another brand Pierre Duex. They’ve sadly gone out of business but you can try eBay.
Happy Anniversary to you and your hubs! I am now following you on pinterest! My pin name is Rashawn Lisa
i love the picture you are too pretty! i would probably die if you followed me on pinterest..and i would love for you to fax me your autograph!! happy anniversary-mine and my husbands is this week and we are hitting up cheesecake factory HOLLA!!!
what is your pinterest name so I can look you up? Happy Anniversary!! Enjoy your dinner!!
LOVE the photo of you with your son AKA the measure man. Too cute. Happy 11 weeks to you! I am so impressed you’ve gotten so much done despite your mini you on the way. Happy Anniversary.

LOVE your hair in that pic!! And Happy Anniversary :)
Just started Divergent a few days ago (yeah, that means I should be done by now, huh?) Anyway, loving it so far and wish I had more time to read! (I’ll say it again, you’re a super cutie prego girly!)
Doh! Forgot to add that my Pinterest name is Pennies. ;)
First, love the updates with the photos. Enjoy every moment of your Mother’s Day weekend! Second, LOVE your hair curly like that. I have only seen pictures of you with your hair straight. How do you get it wavy like that???? I have bought a few of the hair products that you have suggested and I love them, but I would love to know how you curled your hair like that. It looks great :)
1.) You look absolutely gorgeous.
2.) Happy Anniversary!
3.) Happy Mother’s Day!
4.) Reading your blog while nursing your 3 month-old will cause you to gigglesnort so much that your baby will unlatch and shoot you a wtf look. Just thought you should know that so you could give future readers fair warning.
5.) Here is my pinterest page http://pinterest.com/lindseyferraco :-)
You are too, too cute!! You need to get your son into acting/modeling. He’s got the perfect expression for that picture!
Congratulations I some how missed the preggers part. Your so cute you have a long way to go for a baby belly. Thanks for the book advice I’ve been looking for something new I’m heading over to read your review right NOW.
Love your blog
BTW I vote twins :)
Happy Anniversary! I got a small warm up today for my Mother’s Day sleeping in, hoping tomorrow can be full on!
Have a great weekend!
I was sad when Hunger Games was over. But, I discovered 50 shades of Grey and totally lost control on life…I could not quit reading those books!! They certainly aren’t winning any literary awards, but the love story is fab!!
Happy Mother’s Day and Happy Anniversary! My wedding anniversary is this month too, it will be 18 years for my husband and I. ( wow when I think about that, 18 years is a long time, but its been the best time of my life ) Love your photo and I love your Blog I read it every time it comes through my email.
Have a wonderful weekend. :D
