    Bean and Vegetable Salad (can be used as an entree - very filling)
    Great Northern Beans - 1 can
    Red Beans or Pinto Beans - 1 can
    Garbanzo Beans - 1 can
    Celery - 2 stalks
    Red Onion - small or half
    Green Sweet Pepper - small or half
    Yellow Sweet Pepper - small or half
    Red Sweet Pepper - small or half
    Basalmic Vinegar or Lemon Juice
    Olive Oil
    Salt and Coarse Pepper to taste
    Basil and Oregano to taste (or other herbs you like)
    Variations:
    Add Cucumber, Avacado, Cherry Tomatoes, Mozzerella Cheese, Kalamata or Black Olives, Salmon, Black Beans, etc...

    Dice all vegetables. This recipe makes a lot because there are so many cans of beans in it. There is plenty to share. I don't add avacado or cucumbers the first day if I know it will sit overnight. Refresh it the second day with another splash of Oil and Vinegar/Lemon Juice. Serve some Artisan Bread, and Butter or Cheese with it. Yum!

My Cloth Diaper Experience So Far

Image
Hey Friends, I know it's been a long time coming, but I had to make sure I had this down before I posted about my cloth diaper experience. I still have a lot of learning and improving to do but here is what I've got so far. If you want to just get down to business, I have a video at the bottom here that you can just watch without reading the boring story first ;) So to begin, as some of you may know, I received a TON of cloth diapers from a friend and since we were considering trying it anyway, this really tipped us over the fence and here we are doing cloth diapering. At first, I wanted to wait because I thought Olivia was too small for any of the diapers I had, which I found out was not actually true, they just look HUGE when you put them on your baby. You can also make diapers smaller, which I show in the video. My first day on the job was hard. The first time I tried to spray poop off a diaper was, simply put: messy. **Holding the diaper more down in th

Weekly Themes. Advice Would Be Helpful.

Ok, so I haven't updated the blog all summer long- but this is not the post that will update you on my summer.  This is a blogger in need of advice. I am the kind of person who needs structure to my days. I like to have things planned out so I know whats going on and I can figure out how to be flexible.  So I decided to plan out exactly how each of my days with Olivia would run. I wrote down what I would do at each wake time and each nap time. And I told myself this was a tentative schedule and we would see if it ran smoothly.  Well, finding motivation to actually put my plans into action is super difficult. I made a list of things I wanted to do with Olivia, which I admit, the goals were a bit lofty. What am I supposed to do?? There are so many blogs about sensory boxes and teaching your kid every state in the U.S. and making them a super genius by age 3. So I wanted to make sure Olivia was going to get that from me. I wanted her teachers (when she eventually goes

The Baby Story: Unexpected Suprises

Image
So here's the low down on how my baby came to be (not the first stages- we all know how that happened).  It started on a Saturday night at our ward Halloween party. I started feeling contractions every 20 minutes. They weren't very strong, but I knew that finally things were happening. It made me really excited because it was the day before my due date and it would be super awesome if she came on her due date. The contractions continued through the night (very hard to sleep through by the way) every 20 minutes. In the morning around 9, they started to get farther apart and we were sad, hoping that it would have progressed instead of slowing down.  That night they started up again at 20 minutes apart and by Monday morning around 5:30, they were coming 3-5 minutes apart and went on for a good hour. YAY! It's time to go to the hospital! Now, our car has an odd quirk. Sometimes if it's too cold outside, then the ignition won't start and it will alert t
