Rainy day go to meals!

 



My copycat creamy spinach and sausage pasta!

Hi all!

I haven't done a post like this in all my blogging! I do enjoy cooking and baking probably most of all in the winter season! Spending more time inside than out its always fun to have some yummy scents going on. I like to cook dinner for my family although some nights it's tough and we may have take out or something super easy like tots and chicken nuggets or soup and grilled cheese.

I wanted to share a few of my favorite go to meals.







 

These is mini meat loaves which cook in 18 minutes, yes under 20 minutes. The prep is really quick too. I've been making these for a few years but the other night I was lacking mozzerella and tomato sauce so I substituted salsa and Monterey Jack! Hubby loved it!

Creamy spinach and sausage pasta

These amazing one dish meals/ dinners are from Beth @http://www.budgetbytes.com/

I have been following her a little over a year because her dishes are simple, affordable and delish!

Chicken taco bowls

This is a crockpot dinner. It's so easy and so yummy, for a while I'd make it weekly! ;)

 

The twins are waking up and ready to eat! Everyone please have a great and safe holiday weekend!

Thrifting for the nursery!

So happy for the warmer weather here in Connecticut! It feels like Spring! I've had my babies out enjoying the weather for the past five day! I've been snapping lots of pics that I'm looking forward to posting very soon!

I wanted to share these lovelies that I've picked up thrifting! I was so lucky to find these Beatrix Potter items at Goodwill!

 

 

I found this sweet kitty light plate at a tag sale! Is it the cutest thing?

I also found these lovely baby books! Beatrix Potter unused and this tiny baby girl baby book. It's almost 100 years old! Also unused!

Twin favorites 3-4 months!

 

We love books! We starting reading stories to the twins right away! The past month or so they're listening and looking at the pictures! Ella recently began chatting during the stories, I calmly told her when mommy's reading we listen, no talking. She'll get it soon!

Our favorite stories are Goodnight Moon, The Big Red Barn, Beatrix Potter Barnyard Noises, Goodnight Max, There's a Wocket in my Pocket, Mr. Brown Can Moo Can you? and of course Eric Carl's Brown Bear Brown Bear What do you see?

We enjoy getting outside for walks when weather permits. We generally get outside when it's above 35-40 degrees. We have cozy snowsuits and blankets. Adorable hats many handmade that keep us nice and warm! I am so looking forward to spring weather here in Connecticut. Right now we get little spurts of warmth. ;)

At nap time we love our binkies and our soft, vintage blankies. We get a little cuddle and rock before are put in our cribs.

At bed time we are staying cozy and snugly in our Halo sleep wraps and we sleep close together in one crib!

Playtime! During play we enjoy our our little floor gym. We stay busy moving our hands and feet! We also play in our exerciser which keeps us off our backs!

Not always a favorite is tummy time, but mommy has us do it anyhow!

Bath time is always a favorite! We sing -This is the way we was our hair,legs face etc.

We've always enjoyed singing. Twinkle twinkle, Itsy bitsy spider, wheels on the bus and Barney's I love you are a few of our favorites.

We also like to dance! Lately it's been disco music, mommy and daddy dance and clap. Ella and James love it, they smile, laugh and move their little bodies!

I hope I'm not forgetting anything but it is getting late. Always happy to share!

xoxo Carly Thanks for stopping by and I always love your comments!
