Zachary Seven Months

Ok, so the pictures are actually from six months, but I'm just getting to the blogging now, and he's seven months. So there you go!
Zachary is growing quick and doing amazing! He got his first tooth on November 2, 2011. It is his bottom front tooth on his right. He is the easiest baby ever to put to bed, you give him a soother, lay him on his tummy and put a blanket over him. That's it, unless he's teething, then it's a little more involved, but all in all, he's great.

When Michael first got home from Yellowknife, Zachary was playing strange with him a little bit, but now everything is settled, and he loves his Daddy. Which is a good thing since I'm going back to work a little bit for the holiday season.
Zac is really starting to develop his own personality. He loves to laugh and giggle and loves being tickled and tossed in the air. He really doesn't understand peek-a-boo and just gives us a really strange look anytime we try to play it. Zachary's new favourite is having David blow raspberries on his belly, it keeps both of them entertained for quite a while!
Zachary is really trying to crawl. He sits on all fours and bounces and pushes up to his feet and back to his knees. It's adorable to watch, and he loves working on it for quite a while before he starts to get angry, but so far, no luck on crawling. Which I'm completely fine with, because the stage he's at right now is definitely a favourite. He's not mobile, so he doesn't get into anything that isn't left right in front of him. He sits on the floor and happily watches everything around him (as long as we are in the room!) He is happy and content most of the day, and goes to bed very easily, and still takes at least three naps in the day. Such a fun baby to have around. He loves his life and loves his mommy! I am savoring this most fantastic age!

It's about time I finally got you another meal-in-a-jar. This is a recipe I got from my cousin while we were visiting her for a family reunion. Between the two of us, we have six kids and all six of them ate this and asked for more! That's a huge hit in my book, so I definitely needed the recipe. I made 6 jars so that I have lots for my pantry because I know my kids are going to want to eat this over and over. The one adjustment I made was not adding green chilies, and that's only because I didn't have any, not because I don't want them. Once I have some in stock, I will definitely add them to the jars.  As always, this recipe uses ingredients that are on sale from Thrive Life Foods this month. The instant rice is one of the items on sale, but I didn't have any on hand, so I just grabbed some from my local grocery store, use whichever is convenient for you.  I also don't have packages of taco seasoning, which is what the recipe calls for, I use it oft

Beef Stew Meal-In-A-Jar

Image
My meal in a jar recipe for February is a traditional beef stew, like my mom always made when we were growing up. There are a few adjustments that you can make depending on how you are going to eat prepare and eat this meal, but however you do it, it's going to be classic and delicious!   We are currently in a nasty cold streak with daily highs around -20 Celsius and wind chills that often take our lows to -40 Celsius. In the midst of this cold snap, we had a hockey tournament. Just when you want to curl up with a good book all weekend, we are going back and for from home to rink, without much break between. Between games, I decided to make this recipe and throw it in the crock pot so that it would be ready when we came home and were in need of something to warm our bones. When I put it in the crock pot, I made a few adjustments that I'll explain. For a quick boil and serve meal, follow the instructions in the graphic. If you want adjustments for the crockpot, keep readin

Forgiveness

Just a random picture that I like (no it's not my husband that I'm talking about!) Okay, so I'm not one to get easily offended. Mostly I just let things slide (It's taken some work to get to this point). But when I do get offended, it really cuts deep and I have a hard time letting it go. There are only a few things that can bother me, and even then, it's really only comments from the people I care about that affect me. ('Cause let's be real, if I don't know the person, then they don't really know me and there opinion is basically meaningless). But sometimes I find someone really does strike that cord and it's hard for me to let go. I really want to get past this and find a way to not be so hurt by things. Recently I have had a person in my life say a few things (a few different things over time) that have really hurt me and I'm trying not to hold a grudge, but everytime I find myself feeling better about things and wanting to be around th
