A Pinterest Obsession

So I haven't been on our blog in quite some time it appears.  Granted I have been very busy, back to work, back to school, and Ella has started preschool too.  With my limited time, unfortunately I have found a new obsession (not really unfortunate, b/c I love this website), Pinterest.com.  It's great, you can find any picture with links to any topic you could think of.  When you find the link you can add it to a virtual "pin" board.  I have created several boards from decorating the house, to crafts, to kid stuff, and of course recipes.  I have already used this to help plan meals for the week.  Here are a few of the great recipes and ideas that I have found and even tried some of.  You have to check this website out:

We made this using ranch instead of bleu cheese, and Baby Ray's buffalo sauce.

I made this last night.  It was super easy.  I mixed all the ingredients in the crockpot and added frozen chicken. 6 hours later we had dinner.

I am going to make one of these to post all of my "pinned" recipes for the week.  Source: thestewartestate.blogspot.com via KellyPinterest on

And I will hang it on this, that I am already in the process of having cut by a local HVAC company.

P.S. You can search any of the pins and boards, but to make your own boards you have to apply for a pinterest account, but you'll get it much faster with an invite.  Let me know if you want one.  Happy Pinteresting!

Fertility Update

So I haven't posted in awhile about fertility treatments. I was thinking maybe I was jinxing myself, so I've been holding off.... And apparently for no reason.  We've undergone two IUI's since I posted last, with no good results from either.  On that note, I thought I would take a break from the Clomid and HCG for a couple of months and work on getting in shape to wear a bathing suit this summer.  Seriously I've put on like 15 lbs from all the hormones, and since I won't be sporting a baby belly this summer, I'd like it to be a little flatter and smaller.  Also since the IUI's haven't worked, the next step is to a fertility specialist and probably in vitro fertilization, which is a pretty penny.  So hopefully we can start saving for that, after we stop spending for the new house.  That's pretty much where we are now, just waiting.

Latest Fertility News

Wow, its been awhile since I got on here. I took the Christmas decorations down in the house a couple of days after New Year's, but I forgot about my blog decorations. Have to do some editing today.

So we took the month of December off from the IUI's because of the holidays, and because my active days happened to start on Christmas Eve, so no office open.  But we are even more excited about trying again.  So for January, I would normally go in  for the week of the 17th for ultrasounds.  However, our doctors are out of town for a conference and won't be back until Friday, so we will just go in on Friday and at least see how things look, if there's even a follicle.  So nothing exciting about January now, but maybe next month.
