Smattering...

Of random updates


  • Kate is ten months old now and has added pulling herself up to her list of abilities. Nothing is safe from this child. Including our DVD collection...

  • Yes, that is a cloth diaper she is wearing. You think I'm crazy? Tell me something I don't know :). Why else would I have a bottle of little blue pills in my medicine cabinet? Heh heh. For those who are likely baby-sitting candidates, don't worry, she'll come in a disposable. You're welcome. I'll post about the clothies another time ;)
  • Christmas was good. Stephan and I saw Les Mis that night (happy birthday to me). Great movie, by the way. Hugh Jackman did not disappoint. 
  • Kate is teething. She has cut two teeth so far and is working on a third. What is this thing you call sleep again? Tylenol and teething tablets are our friends right now.
  • My mother is coming up for Kate's birthday next month. 
  • Maybe I'll finally finish crocheting that blanket I started when I was pregnant with her...maybe.
  • Stephan got me a Nexus 7 for Christmas. I'm really loving it. It's great for when I'm nursing Kate.
  • We now teach the 5-6 year-old class at church, and our church schedule switched to the 9 a.m. slot--this is both good and bad ;)
  • Stephan is going to get a new cell phone through his work--that means we only have to pay for my phone every month now. His job just keeps getting better and better...when is the other shoe going to drop?
  • I'm working on reorganizing the kitchen and pantry right now. Pinterest has inspired me.

That's all for....now

The Hippies or: How Stephan learned to stop worrying and love the cloth diaper

We use cloth diapers. As if you didn't already think we're weird, right? If you don't like reading about the bowel movements of small children, I would suggest not reading any further. Still reading? All right, but don't say I didn't warn you! I started cloth diapering when Kate was about eight months old and we had our own washer and dryer. There's a funny story behind how we started cloth diapering. Stephan was completely against cloth diapering, but I wanted to try it. I finally bought a couple to try out, but I didn't tell Stephan. In fact, the night before the cloth diapers were to arrive, Stephan was recounting a conversation he and his co-workers had about cloth diapers that day. "What was the consensus?" I asked, keeping a good poker face. "That they're disgusting and never want to use them," he replied. I just smiled. Two days later, I put Kate in her first cloth diaper, and it made her butt look all cute...

Tonight (hopefully)

Thank you everyone for reading and sharing my last post! It means so much to me and our efforts are paying off! I was interviewed to be on Good4Utah and hopefully my segment will air tonight either at six or ten p.m. Check me out then! Well, mostly check out the Kate footage because she's so darn cute. She actually cooperated for the most part during the interview, thank goodness.

Easy Salmon Cakes

I love salmon. Growing up, my mom would bake the salmon and serve it with yellow rice and peas, and usually with lemon wedges or some lemon juice to drizzle over it. Yum! It's still one of my favorites My mom and I are the only real salmon lovers in the family, so now she only ever makes it when I come to visit because the male members of my family don't especially love it. Stephan...well, he used to say that salmon was either the fish he liked the most or hated the least, though I introduced him to tilapia a few months ago and now that's his favorite fish. Other than that, he doesn't particularly like fish. Did I mention he served his mission where you could get fresh-caught salmon? Yeah, he didn't care for that either. When we were first married, he gagged whenever I ordered sushi at our favorite Japanese restaurant. He tolerates California rolls, but that's pretty much it. It doesn't bother me; he loves Japanese food otherwise, so we can still be marrie...
