It's officially AUTUMN! And I feel like I missed summer completely. Oh well, let's gear up for the holiday season around the corner.
Since my hubby works out for an hour every morning, I want him to have some solid breakfast with his coffee. Here are a few snapshots of my breakfast sandwich batch for freezing :::
I considered scrambling (instead of frying) the eggs before cooking... maybe next time. Salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper - yummo! The English muffins are just $1 at my Aldi, making these sandwiches even more cost effective. Sharp cheddar cheese and black forest ham at the request of my hubby. But there are so many options, of course!
Straight from the freezer, we nuke them for about 2 minutes. Soggy bottom buns were a letdown, but it helps to put them on a paper towel when microwaving. I suppose you could bake them in the oven, but if time crunch is a factor, it would kind of defeat the purpose of all the prep for a fast and filling breakfast.
I love making these breakfast sandwiches, but even with just two people to feed, they're gone before I know it! Perhaps a double batch is in order...
Just a few more photos from Sydney's nursery... I can't help myself! Her room is the only one in the house that's really put together.
If you have a nursery in the making, and your changing table is small like mine, I highly recommend a shelf just above for hand sanitizer, wipes, small basket of diaper rash cream, etc. We picked this one up for a quarter at a yard sale and sprayed it gray.
Time hasn't allowed the spraying of these shelves (Goodwill find), but I decided to lean my canvases on the wall instead of hanging. Still deciding if I prefer it or not.
Upcoming dinner plans include parmesan crusted tilapia with couscous, my favorite pot of chili (recipe to come), burritos and taco rice, and grilled italian chicken with veggies and garlic bread. Here's to eating at home!

Nursery for Number One and Related Thoughts
Now that my Sydney Gray is 3 months old, I finally feel like my nursery is finished! I filled one wall with canvas art (with some help from my girlfriend - Thanks Britt!), one with shelves my hubby put together, and - ta da! - my first shadowbox!
I'm not a pink hater... exactly... but I wanted something un-pink for my first girl. Enter Pinterest.
Something tres chic (chevron) but not overdone (yellow and gray) found me. Unfortunately, because of our ever-imminent relocating with the Army, I didn't feel like investing time and $$ in painting the walls. Regardless, I'm satisfied!
Oh, and elephants. Still looking for an elephant piggy bank. Err... elephant... bank. You know.
In retrospect:
- Splurge--- crib, mattress (Your baby will spend most of the first year here, so think quality.)
- Skimp--- decor (There are sooo many DIY helps out there for the creatively challenged [me!] so don't break the bank to fill space. It's more special when you put your personal touches on it anyways!)
- Save--- clothes (This borders on personal preference, but unless you know you are done having babies, it usually makes more sense to store the barely used clothes to pull out again.)
- Stock--- diapers, wipes (They go fast. Fast.)
There is a lot I have yet to learn, but it's a fun ride! :)
Thanks for reading!
