I made these scones last weekend and they were so good, I had to post! I've been cooking up scones like crazy the past few weeks and these were phenomenal! I need to take a break from scones though and focus on my chili recipe :) I have a chili cook off in 3 weeks and I've got to get my shit together and perfect my recipe! It's going to be the best chili ever. I can already taste the goodness.</div>

We had Kellans Baptism this weekend and it went off without a hitch! We dressed him up in the cutest white button down and a little blue bow-tie! Afterwards, we promptly changed into our husker gear! It was a great weekend and were officially ready for fall.</div>

It's been 4-5 years since my last short haircut and I think it's time to just stop thinking about and just do it! I've been stalking this haircut now since last winter but wanted to get through the pregnancy first. God knows short hair, and my tiny frame, who is carrying an additional 30 pounds in my face, would not look good with this cut! However, now that I'm back down to my normal size, I think it's time to take the plunge! <div><br></div><div>Here is what I'm giving my stylist as a guide.

Literally, made the easiest salmon ever the other night. I'm all about easy dinner's these days! I was a little worried this wouldn't have enough flavor for me, but it was so good! Best part is, I had everything on hand! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All you need is foil, 2 TBSP of butter, lemon and some dill! Just layer your salmon and wrap her up in some foil! I threw mine on the grill for a about 5 minutes and it came out perfect! I like my salmon to be medium to medium well and 5 minutes was right on. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finished it off with some wild rice and grilled potatoes and that was that! Easiest dinner ever!</div>

We're about half way through with the nursery and figured I would show a quick sneak peek! I don't have any of the decor hung yet and also need to find a white, sheepskin rug to put down. It's getting close! I'll be in Des Moines, IA for shoot tomorrow and KC on Friday and Saturday, so I probably won't be able to work on it until next week!</div>

We have been extra, super busy the past 10 days! We knew we hated our oak railing/bannister but hated the thought of painting it ourselves. Seriously, just the thought of taping each and every spindle off made my skin crawl! However, we sucked it up and taped away. It took me one whole day to tape, 1-2 days to prime and another 1-2 days to paint. It was a massive/messy project but turned out amazing! Total cost=$48 and it looks brand new and the comments we get on it just melt my little heart!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, we got new carpet this week! Our entire house is either crammed into our kitchen or in our storage room in the basement. It's a mess but excited to finally be able to put our house back together tonight and furnish the nursery and nursery bathroom this weekend! Woohoo! Thank goodness this child is giving us the full 40 weeks to work with, otherwise it could've gotten hairy, fast!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Welcome back! Where have you been? I kid, I kid! Once again, it's super stupid crazy around these parts. Between <a href="http://www.ncaa.com/sites/default/files/files/89813%20MCWS%20Ad%20Digital_Final.pdf" target="_blank">The CWS</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=427711097326895&set=a.120052791426062.20141.115988298499178&type=1&theater" target="_blank">Ava Kate's much anticipated arrival</a> and huge projects happening around the house, no time for computer time! Oh and work has been super busy.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I seriously can not wait to show you all what happened to our house this week. Big difference! I can't show you until tomorrow, as they are still here and chipping away! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What I can show you is, these adorable and super yummy Strawberry Angel Food Cake Jars! So good! I made these for a few friend for a Memorial Day cookout and they were such a hit, I think I'll make them again for The 4th of July! They are super easy to make and very transportable. You can also make them ahead of time and let them chill in the fridge.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 1, 7 inch angel food cake</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6 cups of sliced strawberries (2 lbs)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 (2 cups) pint of heavy whipping cream</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 tsp vanilla</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/4 cup powdered sugar</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6, 12-oz wide-mouthed mason jars</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Directions:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Slice angel food cake into 2″ cubes then divide cubes in half. Divide each half into 6 portions then place 1 portion into the bottom of each mason jar. Top with 1/2 cup sliced strawberries and a dollop (2-3 Tablespoons) of homemade whipped cream then repeat with remaining ingredients.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the homemade whipped cream: place the clean bowl of an electric mixer, or a large mixing bowl, into the freezer for 10 minutes. Fit the mixer with the whipping attachment then add whipping cream and vanilla to the chilled bowl. Whip the mixture on medium speed while gradually adding the powdered sugar then increase the speed to high and whip until cream can hold it’s shape, 2-3 minutes (do not over whip.) Refrigerate until ready to use.</span><br /><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I learned many things a few Friday's ago when attending my nieces 5th birthday party. Such as: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Numero Uno: Do not show up with water guns. It's a guaranteed way to have at least one child screaming blooding murder by the end of the night.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Numero Dos: Do not show up with water guns and expected not to be drenched.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Numero Tres: Your alcohol tolerance has nothing to do with being a boy or girl. It's actually based off your body fat. The higher your body fat, the higher your blood alcohol content. Who knew?!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Numero Quatro: Give my sister a few drinks and conversations can get pretty hairy and uncomfortable. Especially when grandma's new boyfriend is around.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We had a great time! It was nice out, the kids were happy and we got to finish off our BBQ with these ice cream cone cupcakes! I'll be honest; I was a little intimidated to make these in fear they would tip over in the oven. To my surprise, they didn't and came out perfect! You can use any cake batter you prefer to fill them. I used <a href="http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2012/12/19/easy-homemade-funfetti-cupcakes/" target="_blank">Sally's Baking Addiction's Easy Homemade Funfetti Cupcakes</a> and also used her Vanilla Buttercream for the frosting. They are delicious! Kids will love these and are perfect for a hot summer day!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Don't forget to follow me on <a href="http://twitter.com/brooklynsphotog" target="_blank">Twitter</a> to see more day to day pictures of the ridiculous that is the Coady's.</span><br />

<ol class="instructions" id="zlrecipe-instructions-list">
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-0" itemprop="recipeInstructions"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners. Set aside.</span></li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-1" itemprop="recipeInstructions"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt butter in the microwave. Stir in sugar - mixture will be gritty. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 minute. Stir in egg, yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract until combined. Slowly mix in dry ingredients until no lumps remain. Batter will be thick. Slowly stir in sprinkles, but do not overmix because the sprinkles will bleed their color.</span></li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-2" itemprop="recipeInstructions"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Divide batter among 12 cupcake liners (or 24 mini) and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Bake for 8-9 minutes if making mini cupcakes. Allow to cool.</span></li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-3" itemprop="recipeInstructions"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To make the frosting, beat softened butter on medium speed with an electric or stand mixer. Beat for about 3 minutes until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla extract with the mixer running. Increase to high speed and beat for 3 minutes. Add more powdered sugar if frosting is too thin or more cream if mixture is too thick. Add salt if frosting is too sweet (1/4 teaspoon). Frost cooled cupcakes and top with sprinkles. There may be leftover frosting depending how much you use on each cupcake.</span></li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-4" itemprop="recipeInstructions"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days and in the refrigerator up to 7.</span></li>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sorry for the absence. Apparently people actually <i>do</i> read this blog! Who would've thunk it!? We have been so busy. Which I know everyone is at this time of year however, our entire house is pretty much flipped upside down right now. We just finished installing tile in our master and nursery bathrooms. Carpet is being laid in the whole house in 3 weeks and in the meantime, I am going around the entire house repainting our crown moldings and baseboards! Seemed like a great idea at the time, not so much anymore. Oh and we also just finished up painting the rest of the upstairs doors black (sounds morbid but they look pretty sweet!) and also we are painting our bannister this weekend! We clearly are on a painting streak and can't stop! I want it to stop so badly though. I'm pooped.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So come dinnertime, we can't wait to sit out on the patio and relax. A few beers for him and chocolate milk for her! This just so happens to be one of our favorite taco recipes! It's super healthy, light, fresh and summery! My husband didn't even notice they were lacking meat! Bonus!</span></div>

During the midst of this crazy news week, it's hard to believe my sister and I will bring children into this completely unsafe world. Way to many knot heads running around!<br />
<br />
While being glued to my TV this afternoon, I decided to make my go to snack. Healthy tuna dip! This is one of those dips you will easily get addicted to and will soon always have it on hand! I started making this over 10 years ago while lifeguarding at my local pool. It keeps really well and is packed with protein and really fills you up. It's so delicious and we eat this at least twice a week! I mix the can of tuna with just enough mustard to make it wet and sometimes a tiny dollop of mayo. Love me some mayo! Here's what you'll need..<br />
<br />
<u><b>Ingredients</b></u><br />
<u><b><br /></b></u>
1 can of tuna in water<br />
mustard<br />
1 TBSP almonds<br />
1 tsp dried dill<br />
mayo (optional)<br />
cranberries (optional)<br />
<br />
<b><u>Directions</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
Mix just enough mustard to make it wet or to the consistency you like. Add your drill and almonds and voila! A healthy snack! You can also add some dried cranberries or mayo if you would like.<br />

Ever since returning from Florida, it's been a busy week! We came back and immediately had 2 showers. One for friends (Newton friends to be specific) and one for our family. It was a very fun, exhausting weekend! We got some amazing gifts and we can't wait to put them to use! Only a few short months away! 7 months snuck up on us fast! It's been very convenient being pregnant with your sister at the same time! We can both be clueless together :)</div>

Before heading down south, we just knew we needed the famous Anna Maria Donuts one last time! However, the line was 2 hours long and as much as I needed those donuts, I settled on Waffle House instead :) <br />
<br />
On our way to Ruthies, we hit up a massive outlet and did some major shopping! New sunglasses, dress, floppy sun hat, zip up hoodie and tanks for her and an iPad case and tshirts for him! <br />
<br />
Friday night, we went to dinner at Doc Fords (I think?) and had some great seafood! Brian had the fish tacos and I had macadamia nut red snapper. Both were very good! Saturday, we headed south for an hour and went to Vanderbilt beach, which is basically Naples. It was so busy but it was a perfect beach day! That night we went to a local pizza bar and watched the Louisville/WSU game and called it an early night!<br />
<br />
Sunday morning, we got up and made the long trip north to Orlando! The in lawsuits moved to Orlando from Des Moines so this was our first time seeing their new house! We loved the pool and the whole outside deck will be perfect when visiting! We won't make it down to Florida again until New Years, but it'll be a perfect spot to ring in 2014! We lounged by the pool all day Sunday and Monday we headed to the Atlantic coast to New Smyrna beach! The most shark infested beach in the nation! I always see it on shark week and to our surprise, we did see one shark! It was crazy! You never think you'll be that close to a shark in your lifetime. We did some boutique shopping, ate lunch on the beach and took some walks on the beach. <br />
<br />
Our trip came to an end Tuesday and we flew home to 40 degree temps and rain/snow. Ridiculous. We did get to see our little, rowdy girl Cali though! <br />
<br />
Well that should be our last (flying) trip for awhile! In 6 months we've tackled The Cayman Islands, Chicago, DC and Florida! We're very excited to stay home for awhile and put those suitcases away! <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8gdRfL46FLECvlrQ4tG_pvaT9aIrREgNXC-jsqco6wXs27EcyFrYvCAisb4kSvXX9bcxZgaFfwMATZtPPHROupODX7Kf-H288CkuBD36Fwk_wIXOdHL97ML0wLLPr5SnuPii2Hyzt_Sjg/s640/blogger-image-1667730163.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Thank goodness for a rainy day! We somehow managed to burn our hands and feet but nothing in between! How bizarre?! We started the day off at Anna Marias Donuts and they were exquisite! Well worth the 40 minute wait! They were made to order cake donuts and you were able to choose between 6 icings (vanilla, glazed, caramel etc.) and then you chose your toppings (fruity pebbles, cinnamon sugar, raspberry etc. ). They had a bazillion combinations to think of! We need to open one in Omaha! <br />
<br />
We then drove into Sarasota to do some shopping and eating. After shopping, we stopped at Mozzarella Fella for Italian sandwiches topped with homemade mozzarella! The mozzarella is actually made as you order your sandwich, so it's still warm by the time you get it. Again, something we don't have back home! <br />
<br />
Tonight we just lounged out on our patio and had some appetizers. While hanging out down at the beach, we saw countless dolphins, Manta Rays and hammerhead sharks! <br />
<br />
Tomorrow we head south to Ft Myers for 3 days! It's been a few years since I've been, so it should be fun!<br />

We are burnt to a crisp and we are no longer transparent! It was so nice out today and we were out by 9:30am and called it a day around 4:30pm. It was a long, fun day at the beach! We headed to The Rod and Reel Pier for dinner tonight. The atmosphere was really cool! The restaurant was out on the pier and while you waited for your table, you could hangout and fish! My kind of night! We saw a huge school of stingrays and also 4 or 5 sand sharks! <br />
<br />
Dinner was great! I had seared sesame tuna with roasted zucchini and squash a d Brian had fried grouper with rice. It was a great meal! We headed to Dips afterwards to grab ice cream. I had a red velvet cake ice cream cone and Brian had a butterscotch rocky road cone. It was a great evening and we capped it off with a beach walk. <br />
<br />
Tomorrow were going to go into Sarasota/Bradenton to shop as its supposed to storm. <br />

Today was a long day, as we woke up at 3:30am, traveled and lounged at the beach until sunset. We are tuckered out. After the beach, we headed to a local restaurant where we had the most amazing meal in a very long time. Dare I say ever?? We started with goat cheese bruschetta, which didn't have that tangy, tart taste that you're familiar with. It was so smooth and creamy. Simply the best! I had lobster, Gouda Mac n Cheese and it was divine! It wasn't heavy like most Mac n cheese dishes. This was very light, with a buttery flavor from the lobster. The lobster was so amazing! Most restaurants over cook their lobster to where it's rubbery or its not fresh. This was the exact opposite. Brian had blackened mahi mahi fish tacos with a cold orzo pasta salad. It had a little kick but it was very light and fresh! I honestly was to obsessed with my meal that I really couldn't tell you much about his other than it was good!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow we are making fruit smoothies and packing a cooler to sit our sandy bums back at the beach for the whole day! Have a good Wednesday!<br />

It couldn't come at a better time as it was super cold in Omaha yesterday and you officially need sunglasses to look at us. We're that pasty. <br />
<br />
What's even better is, I downloaded the blogger app so I can blog straight from my iPhone/iPad! Lucky you :) Just don't be expecting award winning photographs! Those will be coming next week! <br />
<br />
Have a great week and I'll try to drink as many coronas and margaritas I can get my hands on. Just kidding Mom! <br />

I completed this project a few months ago but have been clearly a little slow getting it out! I can't sew worth a damn, so this project was perfect for me. Whoever invented Stitch Witch, you're a genius! This roman shade is also reasonable enough to swap it out a few times a year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lets get started..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>Materials</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b><br /></b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fabric (I chose a thicker, more expensive fabric but you can be as cheap as you want!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stitch Witch or any kind of fabric glue</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 tension rods</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fabric Scissors</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After selecting your fabric, you need to figure out your measurements by measuring your window. I measured from the inside of my woodwork and also measure the length of the window. Once you have your measurements, you'll want to cut your fabric and make sure to add an inch to each side and you'll also want to double your length. </div>

Since we left an extra inch on each side of the fabric, go ahead and fold over the edge by 1 inch and secure it with Stitch Witch. Do this on the other side as well. Once the two sides are dry, go ahead and double the fabric over, right sides together and glue<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cardo; font-size: 16px;"> the two cut ends together to create a seam.</span></div>

Now the part that makes this magic! Tension rods! Make sure to choose a tension rod that is plenty long enough for your window. You don't want it so stretched out that it becomes weak in the middle. Also make sure your window can hold a tension rod. My window can barely hold one!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Insert one of your tension rods into one end of your fabric. Insert your tension rod and fabric into your window and make sure that it's nice and snug so it'll hold.</div>

Once you have your fabric hung, go ahead and grab another tension rod and place it about 6-8 inches below your top tension rod. You'll place your tension rod on top of the fabric like so..</div>

More snow and cold, which means my new maxi skirts and dresses will be hibernated for at least another week. The snow also caused us to leave Kansas City a day early, to be able to make it home safely. We did however sneak in some shopping where I managed to buy 2 maxi dresses, 2 maxi skirts and a years worth supply of boxers for Brian! The gap outlet never disappoints!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've also been doing some other shopping as well! How cute are these onesies and bibs?! Can't wait to buy some! <img src="webkit-fake-url://BCD45762-4C4D-4720-9847-66CC0C3F60E7/imagepng" /></div>

Ah more snow coming our way. Why not!? It's only March 21st and I only have tulips coming up in my front yard. They won't mind one bit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have completely stopped cooking winter meals now and for good reason. It's been 5 months of heavy, comfort food. I've been longing for fresh pesto and tomatoes! Last night I made a fresh, light shrimp pasta and the best part is, it's so easy and so quick! From start to finish, this takes 20-25 minutes, tops! Perfect!</div>

Cook pasta for 1/2 the recommended cooking time. Pasta should still be very firm.</div>

In a large skillet or pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and saute for a minute. Dump in the tomatoes and wine. Stir the mixture together, season with salt and pepper, and allow to cook for ten minutes.</div>
