<p>That happens one day? Right?</p>
<p>Anyway, Jenna from <a href="http://www.newlyweds-blog.com/" target="_blank">newlyweds-blog.com</a> recently put out an e-cookbook, <a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?cl=154491&amp;c=ib&amp;aff=193481" target="_blank">E-licious</a>.

<p>Before I was pregnant for the first time, I was well prepared. The second Hubs and I started thinking about having a baby, I ran out and bought all of the books I deemed necessary for having a healthy pregnancy.</p>
<p>Do you know what those books were? <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0761148574/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=alnso-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399369&amp;creativeASIN=0761148574">What to Expect When You&#8217;re Expecting</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=alnso-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0761148574&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399369" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" /> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0761133267/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=alnso-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399369&amp;creativeASIN=0761133267">Eating Well When You&#8217;re Expecting</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=alnso-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0761133267&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399369" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" />. I read them cover to cover. Multiple times actually. And when I found out I was pregnant for the second time, the first thing I did, after jumping up and down while crying, was pull these same books of the shelf, and start reading again. Actually, I still grab <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0761133267/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=alnso-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399369&amp;creativeASIN=0761133267">Eating Well When You&#8217;re Expecting</a> because it&#8217;s full of tasty, and healthy recipes.</p>
<p>I think it&#8217;s safe to say that these are the books most pregnant women run out and purchase the second they find out they are pregnant. Or before they are pregnant, if they happen to be a crazy need-to-always-be-prepared woman like me.</p>
<p>Ahem.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.whattoexpect.com/what-to-expect/landing-page.aspx" target="_blank">What to Expect</a> book collection has all of your pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, infant and toddler bases covered. Written in an easy-to-read, and very informative, style all of your questions and more are addressed and answered in these books. If you aren&#8217;t prepared for pregnancy and raising a child after reading these books, well, actually you won&#8217;t be completely prepared. You never are. But these books get you one step closer.</p>
<p>Dare I say, they are a must have for any mother.</p>

It's October, which means that it's National Breast Cancer awareness month. This month speaks to me, my grandmother on my mother's side is a breast cancer survivor.

Survivor. I cherish that word.

One of the things I love about October is that there are so many easy ways to donate money towards breast cancer research. In just about every store you visit during October, there are pink products lining the shelves.

<p>It&#8217;s October, which means that it&#8217;s National Breast Cancer awareness month. This month speaks to me, my grandmother on my mother&#8217;s side is a breast cancer survivor.</p>
<p>Survivor. I cherish that word.</p>
<p>One of the things I love about October is that there are so many easy ways to donate money towards breast cancer research. In just about every store you visit during October, there are pink products lining the shelves. Well, I&#8217;m here today to tell you about <a href="http://proudtosupportpink.com/" target="_blank">Freschetta&#8217;s Proud to Support Pink Program</a>. A program that makes it super easy to help suport breast cancer research.</p>
<p>From September 25th-October 31st you will find a special code on specially marked-packages of Freschetta pizzas and Artisan Pizza Crusts. When this code is entered at <a href="http://proudtosupportpink.com/" target="_blank">www.ProudToSupportPink.com</a> Freschetta will donate $1.00, with the goal of a $50,000 donation, to the Memorial SLoan-Kettering Cancer Center.</p>
<p>Buying a delicious frozen pizza and donating to a worthy cause? A donation of $50,000? Now that&#8217;s something I can get behind.</p>
<p><a href="http://proudtosupportpink.com/" target="_blank">www.ProudToSupportPink.com</a> is about more than just donating though. It&#8217;s also a great place to share your breast cancer journey, or the journey of a friend or family member. The stories will be displayed on <a href="http://proudtosupportpink.com/" target="_blank">www.ProudToSupportPink.com</a> as well as <a href="https://www.facebook.com/freschettapizza" target="_blank">Freschetta&#8217;s Facebook page</a>. They are also <a href="http://proudtosupportpink.com/Donate-Today.aspx" target="_blank">giving away 50 pink iPod shuffles</a> each week in October as well as donating 50 pink iPod shuffles to four cancer centers around American. It&#8217;s a small but great thing, this little bit of enjoyment for breast cancer patients during their treatments.</p>
<p>So I encourage you, the next time you are out grocery shopping, to pick up one of Frescetta&#8217;s specially marked-packages. You can&#8217;t miss them, they are the boxes with pink. You know you were going to buy a frozen pizza anyway, why not make it one that gives back?</p>

I love babies. For so many reasons, but one of those reasons is their teeny tiny clothes. The impossibly small outfits, hats and socks that you can't image a human actually fitting in. But they do, for a fleeting moment, because man, babies grow fast.

Congrats to comment #6, Jenna Sandman who said &#8220;I love the Born to Love Custom Argyle Visor Beanie!&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>I love babies. For so many reasons, but one of those reasons is their teeny tiny clothes. The impossibly small outfits, hats and socks that you can&#8217;t image a human actually fitting in. But they do, for a fleeting moment, because man, babies grow fast.</p>
<p>When the little man was born we really didn&#8217;t need a lot of extra stuff. A few clothes here and there, most of which were gifts from family and friends. Pretty much everything that we had from the kiddo still worked for the little man. Having two boys does have it&#8217;s positive sides. You know, in addition to the rough housing, tackling and daredevil stunts I foresee in my future.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mybabyclothes.com/"><img class="alignnone" title="My Baby Clothes" src="http://www.mybabyclothes.com/templates/Original1_B2B/images/logo.jpg" alt="My Baby Clothes" width="311" height="115" /></a></p>
<p>I have to admit that was itching to buy something new and cute for the little man. Something just for him, since so much of his stuff is already hand-me-downs. That&#8217;s when I was introduced to <a href="http://www.mybabyclothes.com/" target="_blank">My Baby Clothes Boutique</a>. They must have been ease dropping on my thoughts, because right when I was searching the internet for the cutest baby hat in the world, an email from them popped into my inbox.</p>
<p>And then, I found the perfect, most adorable hat in the entire world.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mybabyclothes.com/best-chums-crochet-frog-p-2700.html"><img class="alignnone" title="Best of Chums Crochet Frog Hat" src="http://www.mybabyclothes.com/images/IS-6024_270x270.jpg" alt="Best of Chums Crochet Frog Hat" width="270" height="270" /></a></p>
<p>How cute is that? With visions of baby portraits dancing in my head, I ordered it and waited, not-so-patiently for it to arrive.</p>
<p>Thank goodness it only took a few shorts days to land on my door step.</p>
<p>Oh man, the cuteness of this hat, it&#8217;s almost too much.</p>
<p><a title="New hat. It's a tad big, don't you think? by Alli 'n Son, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allinson/6170448442/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6166/6170448442_096793660c_z.jpg" alt="New hat. It's a tad big, don't you think?" width="612" height="612" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s just a tad too big for the little man right now, but with how quickly this kid is growing, it&#8217;s bound to fit him before too long. Don&#8217;t worry though, it won&#8217;t be sitting on a shelf waiting because right now it fits the kiddo perfectly.</p>
<p>The My <a href="http://www.mybabyclothes.com/" target="_blank">Baby Clothes</a> team prides themselves on finding the cutest, most comfortable, quality clothes and accessories for newborns, infants and toddlers. Their unique and trendy boutique style clothes are all available at affordable prices. Perfect for moms on a budget, who still want great clothes for their kids.

<p>Have I mentioned how cute this stuff is?</p>

I love babies. For so many reasons, but one of those reasons is their teeny tiny clothes. The impossibly small outfits, hats and socks that you can't image a human actually fitting in. But they do, for a fleeting moment, because man, babies grow fast.

Did you know that July 24th is National Waffle Day? It is! Have you celebrated by whipping up your favorite waffles yet? Perhaps some sweetly delicious <a title="peanut butter and nutella waffles" href="http://www.alli-n-son.com/2011/08/16/kid-friendly-recipe-peanut-butter-and-nutella-waffles/">peanut butter and nutella waffles</a>? Because you should. Waffles are awesome.</p>
<p>The only draw back to waffles is that you always make more than you can eat. At least in our house. Even with three of us wolfing them down on a lazy weekend morning, we still have more than we know what to do with. So in the freezer they go. Hopefully I remember that they are in there before they are totally freezer burned.</p>
<p>So, I was thinking, what else can we do with waffles to use up the leftovers. Thinking, thinking, thinking. And then a light bulb moment. Make a sandwich out of them. Duh.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know about you, but I get tired of the same old bread for the same old sandwich. I think the kiddo does too. When we made <a title="peanut butter boats" href="http://www.alli-n-son.com/2011/07/12/kidfriendly-recipes-banana-boats/">peanut butter boats</a> with pancakes instead of bread, he was over the moon about them. To this day when I make him <a title="banana boats" href="http://www.alli-n-son.com/2011/07/12/kidfriendly-recipes-banana-boats/">banana boats</a>, he&#8217;s always a little disappointed when they are made with boring old bread.</p>
<p>Peanut butter is by far the favorite sandwich for the kiddo. He would eat them &#8220;all day long!&#8221;, as he likes to say. Imagine that said in a little boy&#8217;s voice. It&#8217;s pretty hard to resist. But a close second is the <a title="grilled cheese sandwich" href="http://www.alli-n-son.com/2011/02/27/deluxe-grilled-cheese/">grilled cheese sandwich</a>. Which I also love. Although my tastes are a little fancier than the kiddos are.</p>
<p>So I got to thinking. Waffles are delish on their own, with some syrup or a little powdered sugar. Grilled cheese is pretty amazing on it&#8217;s own. What would happen if we combined the two?</p>
<p>Brilliance, that&#8217;s what happened.</p>
<p>Sweet. Savory. Cheesy. With a little bit of syrup on the side, just to sweeten things up a little more.</p>
<p><a title="Waffle Grilled Cheese Sandwiches by Alli 'n Son, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allinson/6073973441/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6181/6073973441_6e879d6467_z.jpg" alt="Waffle Grilled Cheese Sandwiches" width="640" height="341" /></a></p>
<p>See, I told you, pure brillance.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a secret ingredient though. Apples. Thinly sliced, tart, granny smith apples. Just a little something to grab your taste buds attention.</p>
<p><a title="Waffle Grilled Cheese Sandwiches by Alli 'n Son, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allinson/6074512794/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6074/6074512794_d1e2299952_z.jpg" alt="Waffle Grilled Cheese Sandwiches" width="595" height="640" /></a></p>

If you've been around here for a while, you must have realized by now that I like to cook and bake. I make as many of our foods and meals from scratch as I can. Which on occasion drives me crazy, because I'm so freaking tired from this pregnancy.

Only 5 weeks left. Only 5 weeks left. Only 5 weeks left.

Anyway, it's impossible for me to make everything that we eat. I know, I know, I was surprised too.

<p>If you&#8217;ve been around here for a while, you must have realized by now that I like to cook and bake. I make as many of our foods and meals from scratch as I can. Which on occasion drives me crazy, because I&#8217;m so freaking tired from this pregnancy.</p>
<p><em>Only 5 weeks left. Only 5 weeks left. Only 5 weeks left.</em></p>
<p>Anyway, it&#8217;s impossible for me to make everything that we eat. I know, I know, I was surprised too.</p>
<p>It turns out that a lot of quick and convient snack foods are much easier to pick up at the store, rather than make yourself. Sometimes it&#8217;s less expensive. Sometimes, it just saves my sanity to have a bag of snacks in the cupboard that I can grab at the first sign of the preschooler-crabbies.</p>
<p>Or at the first hint of a pregnancy craving.</p>
<p>I have to admit that I have a soft spot for Chex Mix. There are so many flavors to pick from. Salty. Spicy. Sweet. And my favorite, chocolate. You never would have guessed that, right?</p>
<p>And now, one of my all time favorite Chex Mix flavors is available year round. No more waiting for it to hit the stores and then grabbing as many bags as my arms will hold. Oh no, now I can get this chocolate fix any time I want.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Chex Mix Muddy Buddies Logo" src="http://www.myblogspark.com/images/brands/ChexMuddyLogo.png" alt="" width="215" height="224" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s Chex Mix Muddy Buddies. Or puppy chow as it was known as growing up.</p>
<p>Chex Mix. Chocolate. Peanut Butter. And just a hint of powered sugar. Is this perhaps the perfect on-hand snack food? I like to to think so.</p>
<p>As part of the My Blog Spark program, I recently had the extreme pleasure of sampling this delightfully chocolate snack. It was of course everything I remember. Sure, sure, I can make this at home, but I like having a handy bag of it in the cupboard that I can just grab handfuls of, toss in the car or  my purse, and have ready at a moments notice.</p>
<p>This fantastic snack was part of a gift pack that I received, which included a bag of the Chex Mix Muddy Buddies, an airtight sealed container, a snacking bowl, and a magnetic clip. All of the things you need for the perfect snacking experience.</p>
<p>So why exactly am I telling you all of this? To make you drool over your computer screen? Yes. Well, no, not really. It&#8217;s because I have another of these gift packs to give away.</p>
<p>Yes, you read that right. A bag of Chex Mix Muddy Buddies, an airtight sealed container, a snacking bowl, and a magnetic clip, all for you. Just you. And whoever you choose to share it with it. <em><strong>If</strong></em> you choose to share it.</p>

<p>So, when I was approached by <a title="Easy Canvas Prints" href="http://www.easycanvasprints.com/" target="_blank">Easy Canvas Prints</a> with the opportunity to order one of their canvas prints, it took me forever <em>{seriously, forever}</em> to decide which photo I would use. For weeks I pondered over the decision, until the right photo jumped up and smacked me in the face.</p>

<p>This baby, taken in January in Seattle was the perfect photo. And when I received my canvas print last week I was overjoyed by it.</p>
<p>I honestly didn&#8217;t know what to expect, I have never ordered a canvas print before. The ordering process was super easy. You begin by picking a canvas size and then uploading your photo. Once you have completed these steps, you can choose the border style you want <em>{there are 3 to pick from}</em> and even pick an optional image effect <em>{black and white or sepia, retouching and more}</em>. That&#8217;s it, you&#8217;re done!</p>
<p>When my canvas arrived at my door last week, I ripped open the box and couldn&#8217;t believe what I saw. The quality of the print was exceptional. The canvas itself seems thick and durable. It actually looks like it could be hanging in a museum. I&#8217;m so impressed with it, that I actually have nothing negative to say. Even their <a title="Easy Canvas Prints Pricing Options" href="http://www.easycanvasprints.com/pricing-options/" target="_blank">pricing</a>, for canvases sized 8&#215;8 all the way up to 30&#215;40, is very reasonable. Especially considering that the quality is top notch.</p>

Congraulations to comment #25, Amy for winning. 

As you may have noticed, I like to take photos. My computer is overflowing with them. A lot of nature and flower photos, which seems to have caught my attention lately. There are like a million photos of the kiddo, and I'm sure a million more once baby boy number two greets us. Plus vacation photos, food photos and just totally random photos.

I have more than I know what to do with, and honestly the majority of them " data-image="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2211/5806532237_508ec5f982_z.jpg" data-site="Alli &#039;n Sons"></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.linksalpha.com/social/loader?script_type=buttons_counters&tag_id=linksalpha_tag_631569587&link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.alli-n-son.com%2F2011%2F06%2F07%2Feasy-canvas-prints-review-giveaway%2F&gplus=1&twitter=1&fblike=1&linkedin=0&gbuzz=0&tumblr=0&reddit=0&pinterest=1&digg=0&stumbleupon=0&gpluslang=en-US&twitterlang=en&fblikelang=en_US&gbuzzlang=en&fblikeverb=like&fblikefont=arial&fblikeref=linksalpha&gplusctr=1&twitterctr=1&linkedinctr=1&gbuzzctr=1&redditctr=1&pinterestctr=1&diggctr=1&stumbleuponctr=1&twittermention=Alli_n_Son&twitterrelated1=&twitterrelated2=&halign=left"></script>]]></content:encoded>
