what momma writes

i posted earlier about my laundry list and closet building was on the list. my pop, vince, is a masterful man. this isn't really a legit "How To" because i am not explaining the steps quite enough BUT here is vince's process. i sketched out my vision and he came through with flying colors. he and mister john have been working on getting this bad boy in action. i present: my closet. isn't it just lovely?! it makes me pretty happy. and sane. john warned me when i asked vince to build the closet. "be careful what you ask for caren, if you asked your dad to build you a house,  he would" oh so true. he matched all the crown moldings and doors. he re-adjusted the vents and did the electrical work. bragging rights? i think i have them.

i ate better in TRI I. i need to add some more green leafy veges to the mix. green leafy veges are especially important to pregnant and lactating women  because of all the vitamins and minerals they supply. and they help with milk supply for all you b*feeding momas or momas to be. my midwife recommended kale chips. so i wrote down the quick how to: cut the kale into bite size pieces. toss in a bowl with just a teaspoon of olive oil. the KEY is not to add too much bc the chips wont chip if saturated. oil your baking sheet. again, just a graze. sprinkle parm cheese and salt to taste. cook 350* until crispy and browned edges. bag and save.
