Let's play Catch up!!

Soo I haven't blogged in a LONGGGGGGG time! Time has actually gotten away from me! I Youtubed for a while as well. But then the pregnancy progressed and a lot of changes has happened!! Let's see if I can recall. The holidays came around and my friend came up to Alaska to visit me for Thanksgiving. Then Christmas came, My pregnancy progressed, we bought a beautiful house, we got a smart and cute dog, our friends left to go to another base (so sad!!) and now I'm near the end of my pregnancy!! I'm exactly 37 weeks along!!! Oh, and it's a girl!!! 💖 I'm not releasing the name of the baby until she's here!! It's just one of those 'in my opinion I don't like the name' things I like to avoid. Because I'm not gunna lie, I'll tell someone to shut up and I don't wanna hear their opinion! Lol that's just me! But that's all I have for tonight!! I'll try and keep y'all updated!! 😄 -Love Always!! 😘🐶🏠👶🏽

Geocaching! 🔩📍

Went geocaching today and it's been a delight as always!!! Found about 3 things this time!!(: try it out and spread the word!! Geocaching!!!!

[msouth20]

Somehow, after 2 days of searching, this awesome box of trinkets were found!!! Geocaching has became one of my fav things to do when I'm bored!!! It lets me get outside and one with nature!!! All the digging and reading the compass' was well worth it!!! I suggest that some of you inside freaks take a wiff of the beautiful outside air and start to looking!!! If I love it, so will you!!! The app that I use is Geocashing Intro. And if you like it enough you can purchase the app. I purchased it and I can tell you...this money and app will NOT go to waste!! Geocaching is all over the world. And many many people around you know nothing about it!!! Spread the word!!! And let's Geocache together!!!! 😋

[msouth20]

Goecashing is the most laid back and challenging fun I've ever had!!!!!!! Try it out!!!!

FUNNEL CAKES!!!!!! Everytime you go to the fair you HAVE to have a Funnel Cake!!! The fried pancake batter, with powdered sugars on top!!!! 😍😍😉 my favorite thing to eat in the entire world!! Other than the amaZing Deep Fried Oreos!!!!!! Makes my mouth water just thinking about them!!! 😝

Gym Blog : #3

I enjoyed my 60 minute workout as normal. But what is more annoying than anything is when a group of girls yell and talk over the machinery. Ok I know a chat about how your doing and what's going on is fine and understandable but, if I can hear you, with my music up loudly then your talking too loud!!!!! And I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks so either!... But anyways my rant is over!!! 😊 -Love Always! 💪🏾🚶🏾💨

[msouth20]

This is another one of my fav recipes!!!! It's sooo delicious!!! Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta!!🍴 it's a quick 30 minutes and it's the best!! 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 1 pound of pasta 6 strips of bacon, diced 2 tbsp all-purpose flour 1 packet of ranch seasoning mix 2 cups milk 1 tbsp butter Salt and pepper 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into pieces) 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese ➰➰➰➰➰➰➰➰➰➰➰➰➰➰➰ 🔹Start by cooking your pasta, draining it, and setting it aside. 🔹While you are making your noodles; cook your bacon on a skillet, drain the grease but keep 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings in the pan. 🔹Add a tablespoon of butter to the bacon drippings and toss in your chicken breast pieces (cook until no longer pink/browned). 🔹Pour the ranch dressing mix and flour over the chicken then add the 2 cups of milk. Stir until it is bubbly and thick. 🔹Add the cheese and half of your diced bacon pieces to the pan; stir until melted. 🔹Combine the sauce and pasta noodles together – add salt and pepper to taste. 🔹Top off the dish with the extra bacon pieces and ENJOY! 💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎 I'm sure your husband and family will delightfully ask for you too cook this again!!! 😍😍 -Love Always! 🍝🍴

Recipe of the Day: Giada De Laurentiis’ Balsamic BBQ Chicken Cross homemade barbecue sauce with balsamic vinegar to give the rich blend of ketchup, Dijon mustard, brown sugar and spices a tangy complexity. Brush it on chicken — or whatever meat you’re cooking — just before taking it off the grill. Odds are, you’ll be tempted to put it on everything.
