1. I have decided that having a 4th baby is crazy WONDERful! I have been in fresh from heaven baby bliss for 12 days now.
Enjoying every snuggle. Every feeding. Every chance I have to breath in her sweetness.

2. Man oh man, new babies sure smell good.

3. The recovery this time around has been awesome. Aside from being crazy exhausted from the nighttime feedings I really do feel great. In fact, our little lady was born on a Friday. We got home from the hospital on Saturday and by Sunday afternoon Chris and I were at Walmart grocery shopping. I don’t think I left the house for a month after having our first.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner the girls and I got busy making some yummy treats.
These chocolate pretzels are SO easy to make.
All you need are:

*mini pretzels
*a bag of Hershey’s Kisses (we also made some with Hershey’s Hugs!)
*smarties (pink and red work nicely for loves day!)

1. Last week I ordered Ann Voskamp’s new book One thousand Gifts. I’m planning on joining the Bloom (in)courage Book Club online study starting up in February. So excited! I can’t wait for it to arrive.

If you’ve never been to Ann’s blog {A Holy Experience} you need to. Immediately. Her writing, her heart, her faith…. just simply beautiful.

You know you are close to giving birth if you have…
