Playing in the Snow

Our one and only snow, that actually stuck, was a few weeks ago. It has been a really mild winter here compared to last year!

We wanted to take Josey out to play in the snow. It took longer to put all her snow gear on than she was actually outside :) But, we had fun!

Josey was so excited to see everything white!

And, as you can see she dove right in! :)

Aw! My little girl!!

Josey's little trail is so cute! She actually walked most of the way to that spot.

After rolling around for a bit trying to get up, Daddy came to the rescue!

Josey needed to be rescued again, she wasn't liking to learn how cold snow is on your fingers. She had originally started with gloves, but they came off as soon as we went outside. That's how it goes..

Josey and me!

I loved seeing her little boots next to ours after we came in. Funny little side note: I bought these baby boots right before Casey and I got married. I knew how much Casey likes hunting and thought they were appropriate. It's crazy to see them being used now :)

Grocery Store Exploring

I have been having a little fun grocery shopping lately, and I've been trying some new products. Some we approve of, some not to good. Let's focus on the good ones!

On our good, oh so yummy, lets buy it forever and ever list is:

Strawberry Fig Newtons- These are yummy! A nice break from the regular Fig Newtons, we've been buying those for a long time. Josey loves these strawberry ones too! Kid tested, mother approved in this house.

Noosa Yogurt- I can't say enough about this yogurt. It is SO creamy and delicious! It also has the good for you live bacteria in it, which is something I look for when I buy yogurt. I think everyone has been kind of on a yogurt trend lately, this kind should be here to stay! It isn't Greek yogurt, it's Australian, and it's lovely! We have tried almost all the flavors, all are good, but the honey is our favorite. 

Crumpets- Reminds me tea parties with my sisters growing up. We had such horrible British accents! But, oh so much fun. When I saw these in the store I HAD to get them. These are pretty much the same thing as English Muffins, except the bread has even more tiny holes that butter and jam can sink into. YUM. 

Flax Seed Cookies- These are a great healthy snack. You should try them! I'm weird about what ingredients are in the packaged food that I buy. The ingredients have to be familiar to me. For example, if I was making these cookies myself I would use the same ingredients as listed on the package. I'm so sorry high fructose corn syrup! (and all you other weird made up ingredients!)

The whole ingredients thing just reminded me of juice. If the front label says pomegranate cherry juice, the ingredients should start off with pomegranate, right? Nope, it's almost always apple. Then maybe the 6th or 7th ingredient down, the label will finally say pomegranate. Same with so many other juices! Sneaky sneaky!

Take and Bake Bread- SO delicious! Light and fluffy loaves of bread that come in so handy. These loaves can add that last special touch to make an ordinary dinner extraordinary.


What fun new grocery products have you found lately??

Jamaica Mon

We went to Jamaica for our honeymoon the first week of January. We will be married 3 years in March, so I don't know if you call it a vacation or honeymoon, but that's besides the point... Casey and I went away and did NOTHING for 5 days. It was awesome!

If you are curious, we went to an all inclusive resort called Couples Sans Souci, in Ocho Rios Jamaica. I would definitely recommend this resort! Everything is included in the price, even room service! The food was awesome too!

View from our room. This picture does not do it justice! We were over looking lush gardens and just beyond that was a "cliff", for lack of a better word, to the ocean. 

This is the same tower from the picture above. The water was right next to me :)

Gorgeous!

The one and only picture of ourselves, of course.

Beach Time. You put up a flag for your next drink. Awesome, huh?

Got my toes done, much better ;-)

It was cloudy on and off throughout our stay, but it didn't both us at all, the temperature was low 80s the whole time, and the clouds kept Casey on the beach longer :)

Loved everything about our trip!

And now I'm home with my baby again!!!!
