breakfasts

Ever since I got pregnant (and after the morning sickness ended), I've been so much better at eating a full breakfast every morning.  This is a huge change for me as I hardly ever used to eat a big breakfast, or any at all.  While oatmeal and toast or egg on toast are my go-tos lately, I love the look of these amazing morning spreads...mmmm.

Halva bun

Apfelkuechen and hot chocolate

Chocolate coffee cake

Breakfast quinoa

Swiss chard quiche

Well, I know it's still summer, but I am anxiously anticipating the most wonderful time of the year!  I can NOT wait for fall!  We've had some tauntingly cool weather a few times lately and I feel the itch to start making pumpkin pie and decorating for fall.

I love this oh-too-short season more than any other....Landon and I were engaged in the fall, married in the fall, and shoot, we're even having a baby in the fall.  I am dying to put on my flannel shirt, my wool socks, my scarf, and sip on a warm mug of real apple cider while reading a good novel.

baby stuff...

What a great week this is going to be!  We are busy almost every night, but with fun stuff...registering for baby stuff tonight.  Here's a couple things that would be fun to put on our list:

cutest stuffed animals ever from Playing Mantis

What a sweet hat!

FuzziBunz cloth diapers.

Don't be afraid of that last one.  We are probably going to be doing cloth diapering for our wee one.  I have been doing a ton of research, and FuzziBunz are my favorite so far.  We're actually taking a free Cloth Diapering 101 class at a local store in a couple weekends to help us figure things out.  Best part of cloth diapers?  You can save a TON of money, and they can last such a long time.
Oh, and aren't the colors fun?  They have sure changed a lot since my mom used them on me and my siblings.  She has been a huge inspiration for us to use cloth.

The baby is growing!!

Today I'll be getting some photo work done and I love listening to music (and eat snacks) while I do so.  Here's a nice little version of Chicago that I love....enjoy your day!
