Praying For Victory Morgan! A Blogger Auction!

[photo via] I saw that Brooke and Missy are both doing something absolutely amazing and working together to raise money for a family in need with a blogger auction and wanted to help spread the word. "A couple months ago,Victory Morgan, 3 years old, was found in the family's backyard pool floating face down. He was life-flighted to the nearest hospital and was put on a respirator and in a medically induced coma. Since then he has been slowly coming out of the coma and reducing his medications. Even though he continues to get better, his brain is the next step in hoping it heals as well as his lungs and bowels. Their medical expenses are obviously growing tremendously and it would be amazing if we could all come together and help this family. " Pray For Victory Morgan was created and bidding will start @ 10am on December 2nd, 2011. For those that would like to donate before the auction, please head over to the auction site and click on the donate button. It's as simple as that! For everyone that would like to take part and donate one or many items for this auction, visit this page for complete info. & For everyone else, please please visit here on December 2nd for an amazing auction to help this family and help ease the burden they must be experiencing with ongoing medical bills during this tough time.

Lazy Mondays.

Happy Monday! Just wanted to share with you all some more real action shots from our trick or treat adventure on this oh so lazy monday. Watch out in the next day or so for a Christmas Theme Giveaway:)

A Wonderful Surprise!

GUESS WHAT?!

Were Expecting! Yup, that's right! Baby #2 is on it's way. Expected due date- April 23rd, 2012!

Were so excited and beyond thrilled for Adrienne to have a brother/sister. We keep telling her there's a baby in mamas belly and she'll come over and rub my belly and give it a little kiss, absolutely melts my heart! I am currently 15 1/2 weeks along. Not showing too much, just depends on what I'm wearing that day. My bodies a lot smaller starting out with this pregnancy, then with my first (I was an 8/9 and now I'm in 0-2) so we'll see how different my belly continues to grow. We found out in the beginning of July, after experiencing some intense abdominal pain. So the first trimester was pretty much spent with me being sick as a dog, it sure wasn't fun. Thankfully though I've got my energy back and I only seem to get sick when I eat something with too much cheese (happened with my first pregnancy) so I've been trying to avoid foods that would fall into that category. I've been busting at the seams waiting to announce our big news with all of you and am so glad to finally publish this post! I know there are a lot of second pregnancies in the bloggy world right now and can't wait to share this journey with everyone. I'll be sure to post a weekly photo of the bump and keep things interesting around here since I was already about to pop with Adrienne when I started blogging, almost two years ago. Hope everyone's having an awesome TGIFRIDAY!:)

Ballerina.

Here's our little sweetie dressed as a ballerina and bundled up for the dreary weather we experienced for Halloween this past Monday. We went and watched nana in her school's parade (she's a reading specialist) and dashed home to take a quick nap and take on her very first trick or treat. Although it started to drizzle in and out of our walk around the neighborhood, she was all squeals and giggles ready to take on each house that we went too. All in all, a happy little girl equals for one satisfied mama!

18 months.

This little princess turned 1 1/2 this month (although she's just two weeks shy of 19 months, so I'm a bit late lol) and had a well visit a few weeks ago. She's still 22 lbs and 31 inches long. We got to skip out on her shots this visit, except for the flu shot since they got them in early and her pedi didn't want to bring her back in to get it a few weeks later. Were always learning new words and she certainly still jibber jabbers in her own language all day long, however everything seems to be a 'doggie' or 'kitty' right now. So cute! Her love for purses is still going strong, always insiting on taking one with us so she can carry her notpad, crayons, and a few little trinkets everywhere we go. Picking out her own clothes and shoes is something that's taken very seriously around here, looking fabulous is a necessity and she knows it. Halloween Costumes have already been picked out and we have a few different trips planned out this next month to pick apples, pumpkin patch, the pittsburgh zoo, and of course trick or treating. What all do you have planned out this month, anything new or fun?

Recipe Try Outs.

Larissa over at Just Another Day In Paradise shared this recipe on her blog this week and I decided to try it out for dinner this evening. I didn't use any broth, instead I substituted it with some tomato paste and kidney beans. The homemade cheese was incredibly easy to make and the whole entire dish itself was deliscious! I just love finding new and yummy recipes that I know Adrienne will love. What recipes have you tried out this week? I'd love for you to share.

Easily Dunn, Meet Jamie.

Jamie is; a ballerina, magician's assistant, black belt, and former model finds true love. A sweet little baby falls from the stars. A tale of gypsies, dinosaurs, and high seas adventure. A chronicle of everything we love, everything we do, everywhere we go, and all the days we felt alive.

Fun Facts; 1. Uma Thurman once said I was hot while on a 4 wheeler at the beach. True life. 2. I can ask for a pencil in perfect French. 3. I once illegally smuggled kittens into the country on a international flight.

Wanna get to know her better?

this weeks pins.

[source] I plan on making this for dinner tonight, with a few simple changes to the recipe. Looks delicious!

[source] This is such a great and cheap idea to spruce up your lighting.

[source] Adrienne is such a little girly girl, always carrying a purse around that I think she would love to have her own princess wand.

[source] I think this an incredible idea for a little girls room! I love the disney princesses, but I'm not always crazy with the designs they come out with for room decor and think this is a great alternative.

[source] Such a sweet idea. One for the year you were born, the year you got married, each year your children were born, etc! Follow me on Pinterest. What have you been pinning this week?

Pinspiration.

Check out some of these goodies I came across this week.

[source] Adrienne is in love with bubbles, so I think this would be a wonderful idea once she gets a little older.

[source] Chocolate Chip Dip, I will never need to eat another type of dessert ever again. Delish!

[source] Creamy Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes, a much healthier option to my obsession with mashed potatoes.

[source] An awesome website dedicated to an extreme;y wide variety of activities for your children. the possibilities are endless!

[source] Reminds me that I REALLY need to spice up all of my plain tank tops so I'm more likely to wear them.

[source] The cutest little owls, a great rainy day activity to do with adrienne! What have you pinned this week? Follow me at Pepperandherpups.

Our Week in Cell Phone Pics- Wk1.

We've had a great week, starting off with sorting through all of our extra storage that's outside and picking through what we wanted to keep and what should be given away. Adrienne had a blast trying on my bunny ears from an old halloween costume, playing with old toys we forgot about, getting herself into mischief with the water bowl for our cats and an old towel.

Breaking out the good ol' webcam and decided to have a little fun before cracking open this week's assignments (I decided to take my interest for web design and am taking online classes so I can get my associates in the next two years!).

There were multiple trips to the park, where we inspected all of the different flowers, got extra muddy, and ran around silly in the grass.

Last but not least, we had an impromptu photoshoot and took a lot of precious naps (notice how she takes up the length of one of my pillows, so cute!).

Linking up with Amy, from A Good Life.
