Thursday Randoms


Thursday Randoms. The day of the week where we talk about all things random. Things that happened this week. Things we did this past weekend. Thoughts on my mind. Reality TV junk. Picture dumps. Elli updates. Nothing is off limits.Anything goes.

So if you are looking for "life" updates. This is the day to find it. You can also find me on twitter and instagram {frommrstomama} for updates as life happens.
If you ever have any questions about anything listed in Thursday randoms, just aks in the comments and I will try to answer them either through email, or on the following "Thursday Randoms" Post.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mama and baby. This my friends is the exact reason why I chose to switch from day shift to night. Because I get to never miss a moment with my precious daughter. We have the most fun together. We giggle all day. We roll around on the bed. And she is my best friend.

And I am so so lucky to be her mother.

Our bond is so strong already, and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for us. She is my everything
Salmon dinner. Is always one of my favorites in this house. We have it about 1-2 times a month, and I always enjoy making it.

We discovered this salmon recipe last year and it's hard for me to try any other kind.

Super easy, quick, and lick-fingering-tasty-good.

I like to serve it with mashed potatoes with an assortment of veggies. Sometimes I will serve it with rice. Recipe here.

E and C. Girlfriend follows this nugget around the house all day long.

She even follows him into the cage. But then she forgets that she is no longer a little itty baby and tries to stand up and knocks her little noggin.

It doesn't bother her. As long as she can be with her puppy dog, then that is all that matters.

C? He really would much rather be left alone. #partypooper

Bedroom furniture.
Why yes friends, hat would be a big furniture in front of my house that delivered my beloved master bedroom goodies last week.

I was like a kid on Christmas.

This had been a long over-due project for us, and I am so happy that we finally got our furniture.

Now? We need to start decorating!!


Home Tour. Thanks everyone that answered my question last week about the before and after pictures. Your input is much appreciated! So here is the down-low.

I have split up the home tour between 3 posts. Part 1 will be about our home buying experience and how we chose our home. Part 2 will be the "before" pictures of certain rooms, and part 3 will be the "After" pictures of those rooms.

Part 4 will be the remaining rooms, however those rooms still have a few finishing touches, so this one will be published much later than the first 3. Part I,2,3 will be February 20th-21s-22nd.
All natural Waffles. I picked these up a couple weeks ago and Elliana tried them for the very first time.

It was definitely a hit, and I will be buying more in the future.

I've mentioned before that E has had the same breakfast for the past... I don't know 9 months? She obsesses over her bananas,oatmeal, and milk. But once in a while, I throw her off with something different.

She seems to be okay with it. But definitely not as happy as she is when she has her "favorite meal of the day."

Nutella. I fell in love with this stuff when I was in my 6th grade German class. This is the shit in Europe.

Ever since? I am a sucker for nutella. I can eat it with just about anything. Bananas? Strawberries? Bread? Crackers? A spoon? Why yes, please.

It is heaven on earth.

Unfortunately, I cannot control myself when this stuff is around {it'll be gone by next week}... so I limit myself to buying this once every 6 months or so. YUM.
The tooth devil again delivered bad news. That tooth that chipped while I was pregnant? My sweet little molar? Welp.. yup... it chipped so bad that now I have to get a root canal. Really? Really! Are you serious?

How did I ever get so lucky.

Have I ever mentioned how much I despise the dentist? Seriously. It is a hate hate relationship.

Yes, he loved it. Thanks everyone for all the sweet comments on my craft that I did for the husband for our anniversary/valentine's day. He loved it! But... tell me why no one cared to mention that November is the 11th month of the year... not the 10th. Ya. Thanks a lot guys.... ha.

PSA: DO NOT drink and craft past midnight. Ever.

Homemade pizza round two. Was waaayyy better than round one. I mean honestly guys... this is even more delicious than the pizza from donatos. Okay, maybe like papa johns. But lick fingering good. And you all begged for the recipe. So I begged husband for the recipe.... And after a few favors {wink}, he gave me the links.

Pizza sauce recipe link 
Ingredients: add whatever you'd like! We use mozarella cheese, bacon, banana peppers, mushrooms, etc.
Bake at 500 for 12-15 minutes.

  9. Love the picture of you and your daughter! I cant wait to try the pizza dough recipe. For some reason, I never like any pizza dough recipes they are so bland. I have a pizza maker that looks like two frying pans on top of each other that you plug in. I think it is called the chicago pizza maker or something? You put everything in the pizza maker, shut the lid and it is done in about 25 minutes. It might be one of my favorite appliances. The pizza always tastes great. Now I hope the dough does too!

  24. Love this post! I especially loved seeing your babe hanging out with her puppy. Our little guy follows his dog around the house as well. When our puggle is in his cage,he loves to close the door with him inside. Its hilarious to watch. I think our dog would also choose to be left alone.:)

  25. Ahhh I bet you are loving the new furniture! We will be getting our bedroom furniture sometime this year...can't wait!

    ReplyDelete
  26. First, I love your blog! You're a great writer, and very entertaining!

    Second, I am on study abroad at a German university for 1 year, and your Nutella comment cracks me up. Nutella IS the shit in Europe. People eat it in Europe how we Americans eat PB! Anyways, it's totally my guilty pleasure and when my roommates aren't around I eat Nutella by the spoonful. :)
