Things I’m Caring Friday
I have actually watched for a set of tennis shoes I can use when I’m associating the kids that do not appear like I will bust out some burpees. I desired something comfortable and casual however not extremely athletic-looking and when I discovered these New Balance kicks, I instantly included them to my cart! They got here previously today and I definitely enjoy them. I was at first drawn in to the subtle animal-print style on the back of the shoe however the Fresh Foam insoles offered me on the shoes since they’re so extremely comfy. Plus, at $60 the cost point is good for a brand name brand-new set of tennis shoes.
Previously today, I captured wind of the truth that the last day for apple selecting at the regional farm where we generally go to choose apples every year was Wednesday. What!? Every year I forget that apple selecting in our location is basically a late-August/early-September thing however fortunately we had the ability to rapidly declare an appointment for a hay trip to the orchards on the really last day of apple selecting season. (There are other orchards still open for apple selecting however they’re all mainly 90+ minutes away and this one is much better for us.) My mama, Ryan, the kids and I navigated our huge experience for the week and got back with bags of apples, ideal for making all the apple things! First off was my oatmeal apple crisp, aka my all-time preferred apple crisp dish. It’s whatever apple crisp must be– crumbly, buttery and sweet and ideal for spooning on top of a bowl of velvety vanilla ice cream. Up next = Jen’s Apple Cinnamon Crumb Muffins! Any other must-try apple dishes I should place on my radar?

Rhett’s 2-Week Pediatric See + Any Postpartum Questions?
On Tuesday early morning, I took Rhett to the pediatrician for his two-week examination. I was so enjoyed see he’s putting on weight like a champ and is formally over 7 pounds. Rhett LOVES nursing non-stop today so it was actually great to seem like all of the time I’m investing breastfeeding is settling as he puts on weight and grows every day. Keep chunking up for us, little guy! I likewise feel extremely grateful that breastfeeding is working out up until now. This is my 3rd rodeo however I constantly attempt to enter into breastfeeding with an open heart and mind since I understand nursing and feeding experiences can differ a lot from kid to kid. (Chase’s tongue tie, for instance, actually made the early days of my very first experience with nursing extremely uncomfortable and rather difficult.) I’m counting my true blessings that Rhett appears to have a real interest in nursing and the truth that this is the 3rd child I’m nursing offers me more self-confidence.
Likewise, while we’re on the topic of child things, I am intending to ultimately create a postpartum Q&A post like I did after Chase and Ryder were born. Please let me understand if you have any particular concerns you ‘d like attended to! And in case you’re interested, here are the Q&A s I shared after the births of our earliest 2 kids: Q&A All About Birth and Life with a New Baby/ Postpartum Q&A: Part One/ Postpartum Q&A: Part Two
Last fall, I check out American Royals by Katharine McGee and liked it however was extremely upset when I completed since it ended on a cliff-hanger and I didn’t recognize the follow up was not yet released. You much better think I quickly downloaded the follow up to my Kindle and started reading it once I saw it was launched! Majesty resembled American Royals because it offered me Chatter Woman vibes however with a little bit more depth and imagination. Both books follow the royal household of America and 2 ladies near to the royal household, Nina Gonzalez, the ex-girlfriend of the prince and friend of his twin sibling, and Daphne Deighton, the prince’s on-again-off-again sweetheart who is figured out to end up being a princess at whatever expense. Majesty choices up right where American Royals ended– I do not wish to provide excessive away since it would be actually simple to ruin the very first book if I share excessive– and is a fantastic book to check out if you’re searching for a book that seems like you’re muffling the sofa to see a preferred high school drama tv reveal that isn’t an overall cheese-fest. Really amusing!
