Darling felt the baby kick for the first time today!!!! It was soo cute, he couldn't help but laugh. I had been trying to get him to feel it for at least a week now, but no joke, every time he would put his hand on my belly the little bugger would stop kicking!!!! The baby kicks a lot now, a sometimes he really packs a punch!
     We've pretty much settled on Jackson Roy. It would have to be a really good name in order for us to change it. Good thing too, because I'm told all the Aunts and Uncles are already calling him Jackson lol! (Me too guys!)
     Today I've got warm apple pie candles lit throughout the house (my favorite!) I actually burn candles often and will probably get a few replacements soon! There is just something welcoming, homey and cozy about flickering candles. I also made chicken Alfredo pizza for the first time. I got a picture but not enough battery to load it, so I will do a separate pizza post later. I actually am pleased with how it turned out, it's colorful, has a crispy crust and oh so yummy! I also recently made banana bread. The recipe I use is one I got for my birthday seven years ago. It doesn't call for any oil, which several recipes require a considerable amount. Those of you who purchase it know that olive oil isn't cheap!

     On the subject of curtains.....
Do any of you have patterns that you like to make them with? Or do you just "wing it"? I would love to put curtains up in the house but they are so expensive! I know I could make them cheaper myself and I can pick out the colors and patterns I like, but have never made them. I helped my grandmother "Germa" alter some for my Mom's house years ago but can't remember exactly what we did lol.

Also, a new blog I found via clicking on this and that and there I was: Anna Saccone She is IRISH and her accent is sooooo adorable! As far as I can tell, her (and her husband Jonathan a.k.a. Jofus) are honest, real, and clean in their videos. They are also on You Tube and Anna's You Tube user name is TheStyleDiet. They just had a baby girl, Amelia late last Summer. Anna did updates called pregnancy vlogs (short for video blogs?) and also post baby. I just love the way that she shares what she knows without at all coming across as a know it all, in fact she even asks for advise and opinions. When they say Ireland it sounds like Areland lol. I'm not making fun, I just love they way they talk, they are so cute! (Must be the Irish in me). You will want to check them out!
That's what's on my mind today, hope yours went well!
