Believe it or not, today marks the 10 week countdown on this bun in my oven. As such, we thought it was high time we start pulling together some kind of nest for our little one. Until yesterday the “nursery” was actually just the place where our pugs sleep. But the dogs have been relocated

Shrimp Scampi
I’ve hit a weird point in my pregnancy, for some reason chicken (my favorite protein) is really grossing me out and seafood (something I rarely use) just sounds delicious. Since I can only really be counted on for maybe one homemade dinner a week right now I usually pick some kind of seafood to
