that you like the sound of sweet potato chili! As promised, the recipe is now posted. Enjoy!
that Hailey can sit up in the cart (with a little support).
that pescatarian doesn’t always equal healthy. We finally tried out Big Daddy’s, a Mooresville landmark. It’s about what you’d expect from seeing the outside. Keepin’ it classy. And I learned that I can’t drink more than 1 beer without my milk supply getting OUT of CONTROL.
that David has really odd taste in TV shows.
that Discovery Place Kids is amazing and we will definitely be getting a membership.
that someone is probably going to be a thumb sucker.
that my hip truly doesn’t click and pop when I walk up stairs anymore. I guess my first time at a chiropractor was a SUCCESS!
that Hailey loves singing. Too bad it sounds like she has her mom’s voice.
Did you learn anything this weekend?
Shari says
That picture of Hailey in the cart is ADORABLE!!
This weekend I learned just how addicting the Hunger Games series is – finished the first two books and can’t wait to read the third!!
Brittany says
So addicting, isn’t it?! I’m sad I’ve read all three and it’s over. Looking forward to the movie though!
Bethany @ One Girl's Taste On Life says
I agree! Those books are SO ADDICTING! I’m hoping the movie is just as good…
Lindsay @ The Lean Green Bean says
yay for your hip!!
sara @makingsofabetterlife.wordpress.com says
i just watched that video of hailey with my dog laying next to me in bed, chewing her bone. once she heard hailey’s singing she abruptly stopped and stared at my computer thinking “what IS that?!” it was so funny! and hailey’s smile is SO CUTE!
Brittany says
Haha! Koda does that all the time, too. However, now she’s also added in the ‘is that kid making noise AGAIN’ annoyed look. I love dogs 🙂
Parita @ myinnershakti says
I learned that sleeping in every now and then is the best thing ever! I got 9.5 hours of sleep on Friday night. 🙂
Brittany says
9.5 hours sounds heavenly. Jealous!
blackhuff says
So cute that your little girl can sit in the cart with a little support. She’s growing up so fast.
That “Discovery place kids” is something we don’t have here in South Africa, which is a shame. If we want places like these to visit for our children, we need to visit Tea Gardens which have some sort of activities for children.
It’s sucks big time regarding the one beer only thing 🙁
Carly says
Oh my goodness I can’t even get over how cute Hailey is. You two make one beautiful baby!! That thumb sucking photo is priceless 🙂
Kristy @ Breath of Sunshine says
I know what I’m making for dinner! Thank you!!!!
Brittany says
Let me know what you think! It has a perfect spice to it. Mmm… now I want it again, too.
Lindsay@Fuel My Family says
I need to try putting Cassidy in the cart now. I still always wear her everywhere we go. Not sure I’m ready to admit Shea old enough for the cart!
I learned that she can however crawl and get places fast, not ready for her to be on the move at 6 months!
Brittany says
On the move at 6 months? Whew- you’re going to be a busy lady!
Kathy says
I was so hoping you would post that Sweet Potato Chili recipe–so thanks for doing so. I can’t wait to try it. Looks like you had a fabulous weekend.
Sherry says
Hailey is a living doll! Loved how she smiled on command for you.
I learned that I want to have a more plant-based diet (more is the key word). Yep, I watched the documentary Forks Over Knives. I also learned that snakes are already out of hibernation (one dead copperhead on driveway).
Brittany says
Yay- you watched it! Would love to know what you thought. Call you later. And EEKS about the copperhead.
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
oh my gosh adorableness throughout this whole post! Love her overalls 🙂
Paulina says
Hailey is such a doll. I didn’t know that beer can affect your milk supply.
This weekend, I learned that my baby isn’t such a little baby anymore! She is 5 months old today, and is almost crawling. I also learned that slow-cooker meals are the best. Made some delicious french dip on Saturday for dinner. I learned that life is easier without soo much stuff. We donated lots of nic-nacs, candles, and other junk. I feel much more ‘zen’ without all the clutter. Plus, less dusting! Oh, and!! Breastfeeding seriously is the best diet ever. I’ve lost 50 lbs since giving birth. That is all of my pregnancy weight plus another 15 lbs! I do yoga once a week, but otherwise, I’m doing zilch to diet/loose weight. I will miss this super metabolism when I wean in a few months.
Brittany says
Almost crawling at 5 months? Wow, so neat! Hailey can wiggle in circles, but doesn’t seem to be moving forward, haha 🙂 And sending a big vitrtual HIGH FIVE your way- 50 pounds is a lot to be proud of!!
Jane Preston says
Learned that it’s time to get back on http://www.411fit.com and think seriously about a Pescatarian program.
Cute, cute pictures and the recipe sounds delicious!
Ana says
Hailey is the cutest! The picture of her in the cart is so adorable!
Ana
Katie says
So cute! My 3 year old son just made me play your video 3 times in a row! He was so concerned about her. =) He was like, “she doesn’t want that ball, she’s screaming, her like that pink ball?……. play it again!”
Your daughter is adorable – she looks just like her momma!
Brittany says
Aw, haha, please pass along that she actually does like the ball despite her screaming at it 😉 Your son sounds adorable. I can’t wait until Hailey can talk.
Alison says
Tell me more about this beer and milk supply….!
Erin says
I second that! I’d like to know more about it, too!
Nicole says
Third….I have heard that if you drink 1 stout beer a night it can increase supply. I have one every now and then but I don’t know if it helps.
Bethany @ One Girl's Taste On Life says
Fourth! I would love to make more mama juice!
Brittany says
Oh, definitely! I’ll write more details about it tomorrow, but beer increases milk supply and I’m very sensitive to it. I had 2 beers and my boobs were about to explode in the morning. (…actually, I guess they did explode because they were leaking- haha! TMI?)
Kelli H (Made in Sonoma) says
aww…the ending smile is SO cute!
Jen says
So glad your hip is doing better! Hailey is too precious! I thought Wyatt was going to be a thumb sucker, but he’s been chewing on his index finger more recently!
Emily says
We put the twins in shopping carts and high chairs for the first time this weekend too! it worked out well, they just have so much extra space when they got wiggley they would slide around haha it’s fun that they’re growing up but I’m so sad they’re getting so big so fast! haha
Jen says
Can you explain the beer and milk production comment?? I’m really curious if beer increases milk production!
Brittany says
Definitely! I’m going to write about it tomorrow because a lot of people asked 🙂
Jen says
hailey is too cute! the picture in the cart is adorable. glad you had a good weekend.
Kristen @ notsodomesticated says
I learned about the areas of Atlanta that I would and would not like to live in. Very enlightening. 😉
And your little one is gorgeous! Such good pictures!
Brittany says
I’d love to know which areas you liked and didn’t like!
Kristen @ notsodomesticated says
Well so far, we don’t like Duluth or Lawrenceville as much (more traffic/congestion). We’re really liking Suwanee/Sugar Hill area. We like other areas, as well, but they’re a little far for my husband for work. Your thoughts??
JennyFor says
for some reason the comment I just posted ended up on your post from Friday. Weird. Either way H is adorable with her singing and sitting up and we didn’t think Big Daddy’s was that great. Nice work on sticking to your pescatarian diet over the weekend. Can’t imagine that was easy!
Jessie @ Graze With Me says
Lyric makes that exact same sound when she starts to get tired. Lol. She sings when I change her too – I love her little squeals.
Those overalls are too cute! I’m so close to trying out my own cart cover. I can’t WAIT until I can stop lugging that carseat into stores and restaurants!!
Bethany @ One Girl's Taste On Life says
Your little one is so adorable! I learned my little boy likes to sing with me! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-tIcGsf1Fo
I also learned he has an immune system like his mama. My husband and I battled the stomach flu this weekend (hence why I am wearing a mask in the video) but I don’t think Jake got it. Here’s hoping anyhow…
Brittany says
oh. my. gosh. I can’t handle the cuteness! He’s copying you exactly- adorable!!
Bethany @ One Girl's Taste On Life says
I thought you might be interested in seeing this one too:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMvBKrOkdsc&list=FLfLi9_lEPxR3KRM5FhWHdDw&index=1&feature=plpp_video
He says “Hi” a couple times during the video. He was only 10 weeks at the time! He has since said it several times in the past few weeks. 🙂
Jen@FoodFamilyFitness says
It’s so cute when they are sitting in the cart all by themselves, a sure sign they are growing up!!
Alyssa @ Life of bLyss says
goodness gracious, is she a good listener!
Emily McIntyre says
Great picture of Hailey! This weekend I learned that Deep Space Nine is one of the most addicting sci-fi shows ever!
Katie @ Legally Fit says
Ahh Hailey is so cute! I am so excited to be able to put Audrey in the shopping cart seat soon- it’s the little things!
I was drinking Guinness at night to help with my supply (not that I had any issues with it, so yeah) and I started getting clogged ducts! That stopped really quickly.
Kelly @foodiefresh says
My family always eats at Big Daddy’s at Kure Beach during the annual family beach trip (it’s the same restaurant). And I was a thumb sucker too! I only sucked my left thumb but I sucked it all the time. Hailey is so cute!
faith says
I learned that making pizza for 12 from scratch takes several hours and is devoured quickly!
Yay for a great chiro experience! My husband is a chiropractor and I love hearing positive feedback!
Baking Serendipity says
Adorable Target girl and awesome chili! I learned that weekends with family visiting are the absolute best weekends 🙂
Meghan says
Thanks for posting that recipe! It sounds delicious!!! Here’s to hoping my meatlover husband will enjoy it. 🙂
