All this...& Heaven, too!: Exciting times!
http://jawestbrook.blogspot.com/2015/03/exciting-times.html
All this.& Heaven, too! Thursday, March 5, 2015. It has been far, far too long since I've posted an update here. Life has been very full and blessed in recent months, and blogging hasn't been my top priority. But I do want to share two bits of exciting news with anyone who may still be following this blog. First of all, we bought a home in October! About a month after moving in, we got the happy surprise of seeing two lines on a pregnancy test! Lukas is 27 months old now, and so much fun! I love that pho...

All this.& Heaven, too! Tuesday, June 3, 2014. 18 Months With Our Favorite Little Guy. See the mischievousness in that grin? Our little man is now 18 months old, and we definitely have a full-fledged toddler on our hands! Many times over the past six months I've intended to post an update here, but daily life with this little guy is so full and so fun that I haven't gotten around to it. Here are some of the new things Lukas has been doing:. We have to be sure to keep our cameras and phones out of his rea...

All this...& Heaven, too!: Culinary adventures - and Potato Beef Bake recipe
http://jawestbrook.blogspot.com/2014/06/culinary-adventures-and-potato-beef.html
All this.& Heaven, too! Thursday, June 5, 2014. Culinary adventures - and Potato Beef Bake recipe. June has been an adventurous month for our family so far - in the culinary department, that is. After one of Joe's co-workers had great success with the Whole30 diet,. Meat, vegetables, fruit, and some nuts are pretty much it. Joe has been a huge help in picking out recipes (the part that overwhelms me the most), going grocery shopping (the part that depresses me the most, since it's so much more expensive ...

All this...& Heaven, too!: December 2013
http://jawestbrook.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
All this.& Heaven, too! Wednesday, December 11, 2013. Our little monkey's first birthday party. Well, we made through our first year as a family of three! What an incredible year it has been - so many sleepless nights, frustrating moments, learning experiences, hilarious memories.and so much joy. Definitely something worth celebrating. :D. Healthified First Birthday Cupcakes. 5 ripe bananas (mine were frozen). 1 tsp baking soda. 1/4 tsp. nutmeg. 1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour. 1 stick butter, softened. Powde...

All this...& Heaven, too!: Lukas Paul Valour: one year old!
http://jawestbrook.blogspot.com/2013/12/lukas-paul-valour-one-year-old.html
All this.& Heaven, too! Monday, December 9, 2013. Lukas Paul Valour: one year old! A cute but fake little smile for the camera. ;). I can't believe our little man is already a year old. Our easy-going baby has morphed into a wiggly, emotional toddler with a stubborn streak clearly inherited from his parent (which parent that is depends on who you ask, lol). This past month has been so exciting in terms of locomotion. Around the first week of November he (finally! December 9, 2013 at 8:38 AM. It was fun t...

All this...& Heaven, too!: June 2013
http://jawestbrook.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
All this.& Heaven, too! Sunday, June 30, 2013. Grocery shopping and menus, June 23-29. All of this from Target for only $4.52! Thanks to everyone who left comments and encouraging feedback on last week's grocery shopping post! Here's what I got:. Kandoo flushable wipes, 50 pack - 2.49 - used a $2/1 coupon (unfortunately they were out of the $1.49 packs that would have been free with the coupon, but this was a good enough deal anyway as we go through a lot of wipes and the coupon expired soon). Gala apple...

All this...& Heaven, too!: October 2013
http://jawestbrook.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
All this.& Heaven, too! Monday, October 28, 2013. Lukas: the 11th month. It's hard to believe that our little man has already been with us almost a year! His ready smile and giggle, his sweet snuggles and silly games - all have brought so much joy to our formerly quiet home, and we are unspeakably blessed and grateful. Even in the middle of teething, when it seems he only communicates by ear-splitting screaming. And yes, even when it comes to explosive, nasty diapers. ;). Oh, and his absolute favorite ga...

All this...& Heaven, too!: Product review: Annie's Homegrown
http://jawestbrook.blogspot.com/2014/04/product-review-annies-homegrown.html
All this.& Heaven, too! Tuesday, April 15, 2014. Product review: Annie's Homegrown. From time to time I get a chance to test a product for free, in exchange for filling out surveys or posting on social media. This past month I had such an opportunity, thanks to the Influenster site. They don't send a ton of emails, and I was easily accepted for the free sample program. We ended up with the Lasagna with Meat Sauce, as pictured above. At first I thought the dish looked quite small and I doubted it would be...

All this...& Heaven, too!: July 2013
http://jawestbrook.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
All this.& Heaven, too! Friday, July 26, 2013. Grocery shopping and menus, July 14-20. This was my first time stacking manufacturer coupons, store coupons (including mobile coupons) AND the new "Cartwheel" program deals. When these are also combined with sales, it makes for some pretty amazing deals. Fun stuff! I'm tickled that the free wifi in Target stores allows me to use my ipod to take advantage of these mobile coupons - no smart phone needed! Canola oil - 3.29 - used $1/1 mobile coupon. Fresh straw...
