Good morning everyone! Today I decided to share some things that I learned when we went from having one to two kids. With baby #3 arrival right on the horizon, it has just brought back all the feels again. Last night I found myself having similar concerns as I did when we were about to add my son to our family of three.

What I Cooked Wednesday – Recipe Share: Grilled Salmon Fillets
Good morning and happy Wednesday! Today’s recipe I cannot even take much credit for—my husband is a boss on the grill and so I basically just documented how he grills up our salmon in the summer. I love to pick up 1lb of salmon (normally I will have them do two ½ pound fillets) when it is on sale for like $7 a pound!

…WHEN BABY ARRIVES, oh.my.gosh…that is approaching so fast which leads to my next post I wanted to share with you all:
Okay, so I actually can’t even believe the arrival of our third baby is going to be here before we know it! Those “First Kid, Second Kid” commercials by Luvs are totally relatable and get me every time! While I haven’t brought out the essential items needed around the house when baby comes home just yet, I was thinking I should at the very least get my bag ready to roll for the hospital—which is why today I am sharing with you what I packed my hospital bag!
