It turns out a lot of things they tell you about pregnancy are actually true. Like having to go tinkle a gazillion times a day, or being hungry more times then not, and liking foods that you previously couldn't stand

Most of the time I do good with having smaller portions 3-4 hours apart but when dinner is at seven, by the time bed time rolls around - I'm starving. 

I've tried having fruit, cereal, yogurt and oatmeal because I don't want to have anything too heavy. Yet it's not filling enough. 

I've tried going without and then I can't sleep at all. 

In an effort to sleep well, be somewhat full, I went on a quest for a healthy and protein rich snack. Here is my recipe for a satisfied tummy and a good night's sleep. 

(Of course, there is always PBJ, if all else fail)

Whew! That hurricane sure did scare the heck out of everyone, but thankfully nothing major came up our way.We has some major wind gusts and that was pretty much about it.

Although, there were some blessings in disguise.

While the winds raged and we were snuggled up on out couch, the hurricane blew all the fallen leaves off our property. We were supposed to rake them last weekend but had lots going on. So thank you Sandy for doing us a favor. It was mighty nice of ya.

Have a great day! 

Little Man's Nursery

I'm currently working on the "Project Nursery" and honestly, feel a little lost in the sea of Pinterest pins and Google images. My idea of boy's nursery is somewhere between manly, cute, practical, and stylish. I want it to be a relaxing space but at the same time I don't want any frills or soft blues. The room should be boyish enough to transform into toddler room but at the same time, baby enough to make your heart drop into your knees every time we walk in to pick up our little man.
Here are my top picks and design ideas for the Little Man's Nursery

I hope everyone is prepared for the hurricane coming their way. I know that its likelihood is very high according to the weather channel and people are taking it very seriously.
We are going to get some major rain in central New York but honestly I'm just not freaking out
and surprisingly staying very calm. 

Although, I have couple candles and some flash lights, and if anything really bad comes our way, we are going to migrate to the parents house. My mom has her own well and cast iron wooden stove which is going to be a life-saver because we can heat the house with wood. We have plenty of canned beans and tons of rice which is going to be our food in the most unfortunate circumstances. 

But until then, there is still classes to teach and work to be done.
Praying that everyone of you stays safe, warm and somewhat dry.

Apple Scrumptiousness {recipe}

I have a great and super easy recipe for your weekend. The fall is in full swing and not making something with apples is just got to be some kind of sin. I love apples and literally eat them by the pounds, so incorporating them in baking is another great way to use up the vitamins. 

I am not much of a baker. I do like to make sweet things but nothing to fancy, nothing that involves more than couple of mixer attachments. 

I found this recipe when I had left over puff pastry and some apples, and nobody does it better than the The Pioneer Woman. 

Here is the recipe because I did not feel like re-inventing the wheel when she has done such a fine just explaining every step.

Enjoy!
