I decided to try one of the braids that I posted a few days ago. I tried it 4 times (after that my arms were going to fall off)...and i'm pretty happy with my attempts thus far. It is still a long way from being perfected, but after trying it a few times and seeing the results, I think next time it'll be even better! :)

I've been getting so bored with my hair lately. I see all these awesome pins on Pinterest of braids that I always repin and save to try at some point. Well, starting Monday I will be trying a different braid for the week. I want to have a whole week to perfect it- and it'll be fun to see the changes from the beginning of the week to the end, haha. Not that I go somewhere every day to necessarily "get ready" for, but this will be a good way to make myself get ready!
I also found an awesome tutorial for putting feathers in your hair, which i'm going to try as soon as I order the supplies (which are minimal and i'll order them tonight)...i'm really really excited to share this though, so check back!

I went shopping for baby clothes today, for the 3rd time EVER (the first time was when I found out I was pregnant and I got him one outfit and some onsies, the second time was to get him preemie clothes, and the third time was today). I have done SO GOOD about not going shopping for Porter (we got a bunch of stuff at the baby shower)...but I caved today. And I didn't go to just one store, I went to FOUR. Haha. I got him SO MUCH CUTE STUFF! I was inclined to post pictures of some of it, but decided that I'll wait until he's wearing them and post pictures of him in the clothes :) Now I want to keep shopping...uh oh.
I went to Dana's salon and got my hair done again today. I got it done about a week before Porter was born, but the highlights didn't take very well at all (probably thanks to my hormones at the time and all the vitamins I was taking). So she did it for the New Mom Fee...aka free :) It looks wayyyy better!

Hair before.... (ewwwwwwwwww)
During...
And after! So much better!!
(p.s. for everyone who thinks you can't get your hair done when you're pregnant, PHEWEY! I specifically asked my doctor and she said it was fine THANK YOU VERY MUCH! :)
And the clock I got for the nursery :) I like it...perfect color, and found it at the first store I looked!
I also got some frames for a nursery project as well...they need to be spray painted (which I am making Jeremy do when he gets home tonight, little does he know, thanks babe! hehe). I'll post a pic of that project when it's done!

Crock pot chicken, mmmm

I'm feeling MUCH better today. My mouth isn't really sore anymore, but I still can't eat too much on that side of my mouth yet. Speaking of eating, I made this really awesome Crock Pot Chicken today...i'll post the recipe in a few.
Had a pretty productive day. I went with Lily, Katie and Laura Lee to this Halloween thing that Evergreen hosted for kids. It was in this museum a few mins from my house. Each room had different stuff...crafts, snacks, and spooky movies. So many little kids in cute costumes :)
I did my hair today, haha (still kinda wet in this pic). I love french braids.
Jeremy "tanning" on the back deck, haha.
Now I will go watch some String Cheese Incident live on iclips with my bf :) Wish we could be there instead of watching it on tv (but I suppose our 73 inch tv is probably the next best thing anyways...)
Crock Pot Chicken
SOOOO delicious, let me tell you! And super easy (perfect for me! haha).
Ingredients:
4 boneless chicken breasts
White onion
8oz package of cream cheese
1 can black beans
1 can corn
Chili powder
Cilantro
Fajita Seasoning
15oz jar of salsa
1. Put frozen chicken breasts into crock pot.
2. Chop 1/4 of onion.
3. Mix into crock pot corn (drained), black beans (drained), salsa, onion, fajita seasoning, chili powder and cilantro. I don't really measure things often, so I just threw in the seasonings.
4. Cook for 4-5 hours on high.
5. Take out chicken and shred it, then mix back into crock pot.
6. Put cream cheese on top.
7. Cook for another 20 minutes.
8. Stir and serve :)
I also made rice and ended up using the crock pot chicken for burritos. SO DELICIOUS, and plenty for leftovers :) You could also not shred the chicken and just put each breast over rice and spoon the mixture from the crock pot over the top.
Such a easy recipe and makes your house smell goooood all day :)
