Oh, I blog?? Let's just be real honest, my posts may slow down with summer. When you live in the Midwest, we cherish our warm weather months. There are too many memories to make outside and these times definitely trump blogging. Anyhoooo.....
 

1. Miracles 

After three years of fighting the food allergy battle, Mr. Brady has gone from having multiple anaphylactic allergies to being 100% food allergy free! I couldn't believe it, and I still can't believe it! And the series and multitude of tests to confirm should have made me rest easy, but I'm a mom. ;) His physician has only seen this twice in his time of practice. Well, we will be lucky number three thank you! A year ago we were in the Emergency Room because of skin contact with peanut butter that set him into turmoil. Scary doesn't even begin to describe that moment. And here he is now, drinking milk. The peanuts haven't been introduced, and we will most definitely be cautious (as we are with everything) when we do. But oh my Lord, what a game changer for all of us. 

My Child's First Bite Of Macaroni & Cheese...c/o Big Sis!

He is fairly young to notice what he's missing but it will be so nice to not have to worry about him when we're gone, not have him sitting secluded at different tables from other kids, be able to enjoy pizza and cupcakes at birthday parties, and it will make cooking so much easier for mom dad. Oh praise Jesus, he really does work miracles.

2. Recipe For the Keeping

You all know my obsession with cauliflower. I love to steam it, use it as mashed potatoes and rice, the list goes on and on. Well, attempting cauliflower as pizza crust has been on my to-do list for a while. Last weekend we made a good it and it was wonderful! 

Not only did we make pizza but breadsticks as well. I may have even enjoyed the breadsticks more; so good!!

 

3. Mischievous 

Remember this photo? Mr Brady thought he'd draw me a"hippo" on the white table. After this, little man made a Crayola mural on his walls while in timeout. Most recently, Picasso found a permanent marker and left this.

Luckily it's inside our pantry door! Word of warning, if we visit your home, hide all writing tools!
 

4. Anywhere
Is it all children, or just mine that can fall asleep anywhere?  I am starting to think they do this because they will do anything, I mean anything to avoid have to go to bed that they become so exhausted they crash.  Tess doesn't do naps, but if we have a very eventful Saturday, it's not uncommon to see this.

And Brady has a new deal lately where pillows are unacceptable.  He wants to lay right on top of someone.  And you better believe I'm eating up these moments!

5.  Fa-fa-fa-fashion
I don't know about you guys but I'm loving so many styles lately.  Why oh why can't new items just arrive in my closet each morning?  Here's what I'm loving (via Pinterest).
Cut-Offs

I mean, they're everywhere and they're fabulous.  I have a pair of cut-off jean shorts I made myself that are my favorite.  Yet, I'd still like another pair to add to the rotation.

White Bottoms

 
White will forever be an all time favorite of mine.  It's so crisp, so clean, so classic...you know, the worst item to wear as a momma.  ;)

Rompers

I just recently pick one of these up for myself.  I'm ready for some nice weather so I can finally sport it!
Cozy Gear

 

I wear cozy athletic gear pretty much every single day.  I love how there are pieces that are "loungy" but also others that are a bit more dressy so it's even more acceptable to wear everywhere....because I do!
Sneaks

 
No explanation needed.  The best.
