Good morning and happy President's day! Wish M had the day off to hangout with us :( We were so excited of the possibility of some snow yesterday but it was a big disappointment :( Nothing stuck to the ground and it looks like Richmond got all our snow! Most people who hear we moved here from FL are quick to say how lucky we are that it has been a mild winter....ummm I didn't give up 80 degree winters for mild winters, I wanted snow!
Anyhoo we have been doing really well sticking to our menus each week and only buying what we need at the store. Here is our menu for this week
Sunday: M's Meatloaf and Broccoli
Monday: M's Spaghetti
Tuesday: Pizza Roll Ups from Lynsey
Wednesday: Slow Cooker Beef Stew
Thursday: Skillet Chicken
Friday: Out!
Here is the recipe for the Chicken Divan I made the other week, it was really good!
Makes 4 servings, 15 min prep
4 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts halves
4 cups broccoli florets
2 10 1/2 oz cans of cream of chicken soup
1 cup Mayo
1/2 to 1 tsp. curry powder
Hot cooked rice (optional)
1. place chicken breasts in slow cooker, top with broccoli
2. combine soup, mayo, and curry powder together in a small bowl. Pour over chicken and broccoli
3. cover and cook on high 3 to 4 hours or until chicken is tender.
serve over rice if desired
(recipe from Fix-it and Forget-It slow-cooker magic)
Enjoy!

So What Wednesday
I can't believe it is Wednesday already! I am linking up once again with the wonderful Shannon for So What Wednesday!
- SO WHAT if I silently wish H acted sweet and cuddly when he is sick instead of running around in circles in the house!
- SO WHAT if I get mad when people drive below the speed limit on main roads and then speed through neighborhoods....yes I do have speeding do's and don'ts
- SO WHAT I applied to for a job in my dream industry the other day, please please please call me!!
- SO WHAT if I feel like I am going to get sick after every workout....the things we do for skinny
- SO WHAT I need to scoop poop....I deal with enough poo, the dog can deal
- SO WHAT if I have absolutely no idea what I am doing for H's birthday which is in less than 2 weeks!

Valentine's Day, Sickies, and Pictures
Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Wish we were out celebrating with our friends but we are stuck in the house today because Hudson has Strep! Poor guy had this bad cough that started on Sunday and then Monday he started telling me his tummy hurt so after nap we headed to the walk-in clinic. Apparently a new symptom of Strep is a tummy-ache which I had never heard of! I hated that he had to have the Strep test because I have had that horrible thing more times than I can count! The NP said he is on the young side to be getting strep but that we seem to have caught it early! H is enjoying the bubble gum medicine :) he keeps asking for more! He was up last night at 2, 3, and 4, I am not sure when he got up for good b/c M had to wake me up around 8! Sure hope we don't get sick b/c I for one will not be going to get a Strep test, I've had it so many times I don't even test positive anymore :( Anyhoo here are some pics from the last 2 weekends!
Daddy and Hudson had a date at the movies!

Why Do I Blog?
Happy Monday everyone! H and I are both a little under the weather but are excited for the possibility of snow tonight! I am linking up with Neely from A Complete Waste Of MakeUp to tell a little bit about this blog of mine! Hope you enjoy and feel free to comment so I can look up your blog and follow you!
1. Tell us why you blog
I started this blog when we were living in FL to keep our families up to date on Hudson. While I started out just posting pictures of H it kind of blossomed and now I blog about anything and everything that is going on in our lives. Blogging is such an outlet for me, you may not always like what I have to say but that is what is so wonderful about blogging, I don't have to please everyone, only myself.
Like I said above this blog really started as a way for me to share pictures and stories about H. Now I blog about my feelings about wanting to go back to work after being laid off over 6 months ago and about trying to figure out if we want to have another baby. There are light moments and heavy moments but every moment is real.
3. Tell us about you
I grew up in Richmond VA, went to ECU and VCU, started grad school at ODU, and might be finishing it soon. M and I moved to FL after he finished Business school, we lived there for 3 1/2 years. We moved to TN 3 months ago for M's new job and are slowly getting used to cold weather again! I love going back home, to my parents river house, and to a family spot in Canada!
4. Tell us about your job
Right now I am a SAHM to my almost 3 year old son :) I was laid off from my job back in July, moved in November so it has been a little crazy. I would love to go back to work 3-4 days a week or we have been talking about me going back and finishing my masters, hopefully we will have some news soon!
5. Tell us about your city
I live outside Nashville in cute little town. It was very hard to move from a big city with about 5 of everything to a town where there is only 1 CFA!! We are loving it though! There is so much to do with kids and we are excited to check out everything! I have been into Nashville once but am hoping to maybe meetup with some of you while your here for BLISSDOM.
