Well, maybe not "ready" but Ive been reading a lot about "nesting". It seems that the need to clean, hoard and "get ready" is happening to me too! I find myself running around my store all day looking for messes to clean up, organize or things to throw aways..... now if you know me @ all, this is nothing new! But I feel it has gone to another level because when I get home I feel that all I see are little areas around the house I need to get at! Im trying not to drive myself crazy & thank God for my wonderful Hubby that has been helping!Either way I stocked up on lots of "things" at the store today.... cans of cream of whatever soup, coffee, mixes and Im going to outline some recipes in the next couple weeks that I will be freezing for the first couple weeks with baby!
On the menu for tonight?? Last week Joy Behar from The View shared her recipe:
