• Been a While... Let's Catch Up.

  by Angelique Lorence February 7
  I’m alive.  and large.  and Pregnant.  Still.  I haven’t wrote in my blog recently because honestly, by the end of the night (my blogging/writing time) I’m spent and my brain stops functioning.  Literally.  It stops.  I’ve been a busy little...

• Keeping Calm. And Quiet.

  by Angelique Lorence January 23
  Have you ever logged onto Facebook and felt like you could comment on just about everyone’s status update? In a not so kind, bubbly or loving way? Well, I guess you could say that I know I’ve reached that point in pregnancy where I need to keep quiet.  and calm.  and hold my ...

• What an Adventure

  by Angelique Lorence December 31, 2012
  Let me just start by saying, whoever thought that taking a road trip when your 8 months pregnant… wait, no.  I should really start by saying how sweet it was that my hubby took the time to plan a little family getaway after the holidays.  In all honesty, it was an awesome idea; one ...

• Homemade Christmas Gift

  by Angelique Lorence December 18, 2012
  This year, I really wanted to do something personal for Rocco & Roman’s pre-school teachers.  I found this idea on Pinterest and the original pic I found was made with chives as a Spring gift.  Since chives aren’t in season and all of the fresh rosemary I found only came in lar...

• Telling Kids about the Sandy Hook Tragedy

  by Angelique Lorence December 17, 2012
  In our home, we don’t watch television much and there are many days where the boys don’t watch it at all.  On Friday morning, I woke and got straight to work posting our Christmas Giveaway.  The boys were still sleeping and I was sitting at the computer with a cup of coffee on ...

• Date Night Dinner : Spaghetti with Clams

  by Angelique Lorence December 13, 2012

• What I Wore: 3rd Trimester

  by Angelique Lorence December 7, 2012
  I’m thrilled to say, I made it to my 3rd trimester in pregnancy!  And though this may sound weird, I feel justified now in waddling, groaning when I get up from the floor (or couch) and having that extra piece of chocolate (after the 1st four pieces)!  So, this past week I attended a...

• This is why Advent Sucks

  by Angelique Lorence December 4, 2012
  I don’t like that word (sucks), but honestly, it’s exactly how I feel about this whole ‘Advent’ thing right now.  Here’s the deal.  On one hand, I have Rocco who is rushing away the days just to get to the next day, the next number, the next gift; and then the...

• Creamy Crockpot Chicken

  by Angelique Lorence November 29, 2012
  I pulled this out of Rocco’s book-bag this week.  When I asked where Mary was, his response was, “Mary went out shopping.” And Roman said, “Yeah! Mawy’s buying Chwistmas presents!” I mean, at least they knew where she was, right? I happened to do more Ch...

  by Angelique Lorence November 25, 2012
  Happy Thanksgiving! (a few days late) Are you exhausted? ; )  This was the first Thanksgiving I hosted and not that I didn’t know it was a lot of work but I think being pregnant with an achy back just made all of the work a *little harder!  I was so sore and sleepy on black Friday b...
