Babies & Broccoli - A new blogging adventure....

Most of you that know me know that I thoroughly enjoy cooking and baking.  I've found a new passion for it ever since staying home with the kids as it is a welcomed "escape" for me once Brandon gets home.  I love searching the internet for new recipes and especially enjoy it when a new recipe becomes a new favorite!

Because of this - I've finally started my own cooking blog - http://www.babiesandbroccoli.blogspot.com/.  I generally cook 6 out of the 7 nights of the week - so Brandon is getting his "fill" of me trying out new dishes.  After we try something new I ask if it's "blog-worthy" and if it gets a YES then I add it to the cooking blog.  So, rest-assured the recipes on here are tried and true.

If there is anything you are wanting to make - or have a suggestion for something I should make - please comment!

Back to Life...Back to Reality....

We are home!  The resort was beautiful, the wedding was amazing, the company was (of course) top-notch but...we were happy to get home to our babies.  We were even happier that upon returning home both grandma's appeared sane - very tired - but sane. 

It was a short trip - but a much needed one.  We laugh around here as we think back to before we had kids and the oh so frequent expression: "What did we do with all of that time?!".  Most nights its well after 8:30 before Brandon and I sit down and exchange a "Hello, how was your day".  So, this trip was a welcomed break from our life and it was awesome to get to spend some time - just the two of us.  With two little ones - those times are precious and we're greatful we have such awesome friends that decide to get hitched 100's of miles away!

Today was my first day back at my "job" and boy did I forget quickly how much work these two little monkey's are!  We quickly got settled back into our routine, but by 3:00 (and after about 6 cups of coffee) this momma was T.I.R.E.D and looking around for my pool waitress to bring me my next Pina Colada.  Reality Check - the only person bringing anyone anything around here is yours truly :)

Viva La Mexico!!

In 4 days - 4 glorious days - we will be Mexico Bound! Brandon is a groomsman in our good friend Mike Corbin's wedding and thank the LORD they decided to have a destination wedding. I wouldn't trade my new profession for anything....but this mommy needs a break. So - in one week we will be joyfully celebrating the union of two absolutely wonderful people and I, my friends - will have a drink with an umbrella in my hand.  My other hand will be saying the Hail Mary that my children have not driven their Grandmothers to lock themselves in a closet to finish a bottle of wine. Cheers!
