Ryan's birthday is on November 4th and I've made him birthday cakes in the past but this is different and sounds like fun.
I will come back to this post when I buy an electric mixer (handheld, I don't bake enoughErinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01400895631201223381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762081614314548612.post-40950310883594310792009-10-24T09:30:00.004-04:002009-11-03T23:16:11.875-05:00ProcrastinationI "deep cleaned" the house Thursday night so I could relax during this weekend.
There is now no excuse for me to not be working on the coffee table that I am refinishing. When we were furniture shopping I could not find a single coffee table that I liked anywhere. I have a modern but comfortable style. I decided to try to salvage Ryan's "bachelor pad" coffee table because the shape is fine (andErinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01400895631201223381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762081614314548612.post-83283913221600993672009-10-20T16:15:00.002-04:002009-10-20T16:29:11.248-04:00First piano lessonFinally! After being with Ryan for over 3 years he has finally decided to air out the keys on his piano. This is only the third time I've heard him play. The first time was a fluke and very short occasion. The second time was after much much much begging from my family when we flew up to Mass last Christmas.
I even told him about the theory of classical music having a positive impact on a baby'sErinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01400895631201223381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762081614314548612.post-11861766076932438432009-10-19T19:38:00.001-04:002009-10-19T20:53:12.386-04:00All about YOU during pregnancyA thought crossed my mind earlier today about my favorite things I bought for MYSELF during pregnancy.
Maternity Underwear from Motherhood
An absolute must would have to be maternity undies. I'm not referring to the super large granny panty style either. I have no idea what they do to those to make them so comfortable but I think it's strange that they don't make regular undies as comfortable Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01400895631201223381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762081614314548612.post-30720797366368469862009-10-17T13:24:00.001-04:002009-10-17T16:56:56.404-04:00Clinique 3-Step Skin CareIf there is anything to splurge on, it would have to be with the products you cleanse and moisturize your face with.
I was a huge fan of tanning and can't begin to imagine what my face will look like in 50 years. I almost never used to moisturize. That was saved for extra dry skin caused by a sunburn.
Now that 30 is approaching, I'm taking extra care to keep my face and neck well taken care ofErinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01400895631201223381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762081614314548612.post-38909110977264777042009-10-16T16:05:00.002-04:002009-10-17T16:57:16.736-04:00Fried cauliflowerThis is a recipe that my stepmother shared with me that was something her mother used to make.
No, this is not healthy.
One head of cauliflower, broken into small florets
One egg (more if needed, I know I am messy with this)
One container of Italian bread crumbs
Vegetable oil
I usually start by organizing my little stations. I'll fill up a large pan with water for boiling the cauliflower Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01400895631201223381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762081614314548612.post-32542205170560738572009-10-13T14:59:00.001-04:002009-10-13T16:19:02.041-04:00VS body and bath oilI bought this body and bath oil on Sunday at Victoria's Secret. Love it! I took a bath last night and it really made my skin soft and smell great. I think it was a little pricey considering it's only from VS but I've never used anything like this before.
This scent smells so great. I originally ended up in the store because I had two coupons for free panties plus $10 off your purchase.
