Although I’m no longer doing monthly recaps for Jack, I still want to document a few things that he’s been doing lately. Especially since we all know I haven’t even started his baby book yet. Second kid problems. SLEEPING: I think the last time I posted about Jack’s sleeping habits we were getting ready to start sleep training using the Ferber method. In short, we followed the schedule listed in his book which is a mix between CIO and comforting the baby when they cry. After 2 nights, Jack was sleeping through the night and the only thing I regret is that we didn’t do it sooner. Every now and…

Weekend Recap
Another Monday is here and it seems like Sunday didn’t even happen. I know every weekend seems to fly by, but yesterday was over in the blink of an eye. My weekend started on Friday since I took the day off work and headed to St. Louis to do a little shopping for some of the things I mentioned here. I got a few goodies from Forever 21 including that gorgeous plaid scarf. We don’t have a California Pizza kitchen in our town and I am obsessed with their Thai Chicken pizza. When I got back in town I didn’t feel like cooking which meant Mexican food for dinner. Big brother…

5 on Friday
I missed the first Five on Friday since it’s return, but this week I’m back and ready to share. One. I finally got my fall decorations out. I don’t why I was dreading buying mums but I was. Is that weird? I got this HUGE one at Walmart of all places for $5! It was originally $9.98, but as I was leaving the garden center the manager said to make sure it rings up half off since it’s already bloomed. Say what? Two. I also got the 2 giant pumpkins above at Walmart as well. As much as I love pumpkin patches, it’s just not realistic for us right now…

Thoughts on Thursday: Fall Clothing
When I say need, I mean need in the first-world sense of the word. Last fall I was 3 months postpartum and I was just happy to be wearing something other than maternity clothes. Since then I’ve bought a few things here and there but I’m pretty burnt out on my current wardrobe. We’re still saving for our new house and a few trips we have planned so a full on shopping extravaganza isn’t in the cards. However, this weekend I plan on picking up a few things that I can mix into my closet. On the top of my list? Cardigans in all the great fall colors. I’ve been…

The Moistest Chocolate Cake Ever
First off, I’m sorry to use the word moist. I know a lot of people can’t stand that word so if that’s you, I’m sorry. The truth is, I’m not much of a chocolate cake person (I prefer vanilla), but my husband loves it so every once in a while I like to be nice and make this for him. What You Need: -1 box chocolate cake mix -1 container of frosting -1 cup sour cream -1 4oz box of chocolate instant pudding(3.9 oz to be exact) -1/2 cup water -1/2 cup vegetable oil -4 eggs -2 round cake pans What To Do: 1.
