This is what Anneliese’s room looks like right now…
We’re finally getting ready to paint her room the color we’ve had in mind since before she was born. I just hope it turns out the way I have envisioned it. I didn’t do a patch test with the paint, so I’m not positive, but I did have the paint chip up on the wall for a long time.
I can’t wait for the paint to be finished, so that we can put her room back together and actually hang her art on the walls. I feel sad that her room hasn’t been “finished” and we’ve lived here for more than half of her life – 6 months!
Meanwhile, I’ve been in the kitchen, mixing up a spice rub
…and washing some local carrots…
… for the best roast beef. Ready for the oven! (It’s in there now.)
I’m also going to make some mashed cauliflower for us. Too much food for 3 people? Maybe so, BUT I’m loving having my husband home again, and having an excuse to actually COOK-cook. Making roast beef for 2 adults is only half as crazy as making it for just one. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
(Also, husband home apparently = more blog posts. Go figure!)
Have you missed me?
I'm a Navy wife and stay at home mom of two beautiful children. I cook simple, delicious, grain-free recipes, do crafts, decorate my home on a budget, and keep a happy household. I tandem breastfeed, babywear, cloth diaper, practice elimination communication, homebirth, and co-sleep, but I'm not a hippie.
I love the father and child sitting moment. It is really nice to see both parents spend time with their kids.

Glad to see you back. I understand blogging more when another pair of hands is around to help out! Hope the paint turns out how you want!

I always love reading your posts, and yes, I’m creepy enough to admit I miss you when you don’t blog.
Seriously, Anneliese is the cutest baby ever.
Glad your man is home again.

I know what you mean about the cooking! My dh just got back from a year in Afghanistan at the end of February, and the change in the amount of food I need to prepare, besides making *real* meals, has probably been the biggest adjustment since he’s been home! Chicken and dumplings was his first meal back, followed closely by roast, potatoes and carrots
It’s GOOD to have them home where they belong, isn’t it?!?
Thats okay, we have lived in 3 apartments since Capri was born and we have never gotten a room ready for her. Currently she sleeps in the living room. And we are hoping to move again at the end of the summer…which hopefully means a place we will be living in for a LONG time which means she will have a room then.
I can’t wait to see after pictures. and I want your supper…yummy…drool.
