Indoor S'mores

Pin It
Hello everyone!
Today I thought I would share with you one of my guilty pleasures.
S'mores.
I love them!
The only problem with S'mores is it's not every day I can make a fire and roast marshmallows... 
So, we started making them in our microwave...I needed a chocolate fix people!
I also didn't always have the larger marshmallows, or the Hershey chocolate bars, so I just started using what I already had in my baking cupboards...wow, that makes me sound like I was getting crazy desperate, but I needed something sweet. :)
So, grab a graham cracker and break it in half. If you have large marshmallows just use one, but I only had small ones. 9 small marshmallows are perfect for this (they will expand in the microwave).
 On the other half place a handful of chocolate chips. I've done milk chocolate, semi-sweet, and even white chocolate chips, you can't really go wrong!
 Place the half with the marshmallows in the microwave for 15 seconds, (if you're doing the smaller ones. If you are using a large one you can microwave it for 19 seconds). Trust me people, I've done this a lot!
The marshmallows will start to expand.
 As soon as the microwave stops take the marshmallow half out and flip it over onto the chocolate half.
 And last but not least, enjoy!!
I love making these because I get something sweet, but I don't feel like I'm making a huge batch of something , it's an individual serving size!

Baseball Cookies

Pin It
Hello hello! I hope you are all doing well :)
About a week ago we had a carnival day/fundraiser for the baseball league that my son's team is in.
They had lots of fun activities for the families, and of course lots of yummy looking treats :)
I volunteered to bring some baked goods. I baked the sugar cookies the day before, making just simple circle shapes, but for some reason I left the decorating until the morning of...
I wanted to originally do super hero designs or something along those lines, (like these sweet Justice League/Captain America cupcakes I had made a few months ago), but since we were short on time I had to come up with something else.
My son suggested I make baseball cookies.
(I had a total 'duh, why didn't I think of that?' moment, I mean they were for a fundraiser for baseball teams after all!...Oh well, it made me proud to see him come up with that idea on his own)
I'm so glad he did, because these were SO easy to decorate!

I just started out with frosting the cookies white.
 After tinting a small amount of frosting red I drew two curved lines on each cookie.
 Add the stitching detail, 
 And you are done!
Now you can have a baseball themed treat for anytime!

24 Weeks

Pin It
Happy Sunday everyone!
I feel like this pregnancy is just flying by :)
Weight gain: 12 pounds now!!
Discomfort: YES. :) I feel like this little one is constantly stretching out and he is just trying to use all of the space he has in there! I'm also waking up a lot through out the night, just to toss and turn, which doesn't help my energy levels throughout the day...maybe my body is trying to get me used to not getting a full nights rest...thanks body...
Maternity clothes? Not yet. But, we have been going swimming more often, I might need to invest in a new swimsuit...my current one might not cover my belly much longer... :)
Events: We had our glucose testing appointment this last week, and I'm happy to say all of the blood work came back great, yay! My adorable son went with me to the appointment and as always the doctor's office was so good at letting him feel included. They let him squirt the jelly on my tummy, and then gave him the little heartbeat monitor and let him find the heartbeat, it was so cute.
So everything is going really well!

Mombo Nursing Pillow Review

Pin It
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Comfort and Harmony for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
I am currently pregnant with baby #2. It's been over 4 years since I was last pregnant, and there are so many new products out there for babies! I feel like I am almost starting all over again!
One of these newer products is the Mombo Nursing Pillow from Comfort & Harmony.
 photo 19b5803b-ab11-46b3-8380-72f430718f9f_zps2f11da08.jpg
I was recently sent the mombo nursing pillow  and when I opened the box, there were a couple of things that stood out to me right away.
First of all, I LOVE the color and I LOVE the design of the fabric. I LOVE the fact that the nursing pillow has the unique feature of the Firm2Soft, which means one side of the pillow it soft for and cuddly for nursing/feedings, and on the other side it's more firm to help support your baby when learning how to sit.
It has a removeable machine washable slip cover, which makes cleaning a breeze, (and you can buy additional covers at Babies R Us).
There is also a round disk you can insert into the pillow for a soft vibrating element to help soothe and relax your baby.
While I was waiting for my Mombo to arrive, I checked out the Comfort & Harmony website and looked through reviews all over the internet, and let me tell you, I read some good things!
Everywhere I looked the Mombo has received 4+ stars from customers, you can't go wrong with that :)
Since the Mombo can be used with Newborns on up, I will be able to use the pillow as soon as my baby comes! I can't wait :)
I have 'liked' Comfort & Harmony on Facebook, and I hope you head over and do the same so you can keep yourself updated with everything they have going on.
You can find Comfort & Harmony on Facebook, or Comfort & Harmony on Twitter.
The Mombo and additional slipcovers are sold at Babies R Us, so make sure to go grab one for yourself or as an awesome gift for a new mom or mom-to-be!
