FALL in NE!

HAPPY FALL!

Two years ago, I blogged about a lot of my favorite fall recipes - including a lot of squashes, like spaghetti squash recipes.  Last year, I wrote about tons of homemade baby food recipes including squash and carrots and other healthy fruits and veggies. This year, I decorated the house for the "fall" season more than I ever have in the past, and I also have an apple pie currently in the oven (17 more minutes left on the timer....). Fun Saturday night! ;)

Jim went to his undergrad college today, WPI, for alumni weekend. He likes to go since he was President while we were in school - and also because he is an attorney. He wants to help out where he can. That being said, Conor and Caden and Mommy had the day to ourselves. Grampa stopped by today and we went to Wegmans...but we spent most the day together ourselves. And same yesterday since daycare was closed for a holiday. So naturally, we had a bit of a fall photo-shoot all weekend long. My fav.





I finally checked out the PRIMARK location in Downtown Crossing on Thursday and bought a ton of new clothes for the whole family. I loved the different mens/womens/childrens sections on the various floors. Everything is super affordable. I bought these beige sweaters for the boys. They are perfect for this season! I love the little brown elbow patches. :)


Zeta has been spending a lot of time at our house lately (and my dad too) since we lost Peanut. I think she likes visiting. She plays with the kids, and the kids toys, and their blankets/boppy pillows. It's a win/win for Z! Tons of company and new toys!

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. Happy FALL! And go Patriots tomorrow!

xo,
Shaz

PS Here's a flashback photo of me and Jim at WPI alumni weekend back in 2011!

  Here is Cal’s journal :) Saturday Feb 18 We packed our big van and drove to NEW YORK CITY.  It was a long drive. We got to play the switch for a little bit, and we also rested. We got Subway turkey sandwiches on the way to New York. We stopped at a rest stop to go pee. It was crowded. Then continued driving to New York. We got to the hotel in new york and our room was not ready. We walked to central park and climbed rocks and took pictures of birds. We saw some big horses that had carriages on them for people to have a ride around the park. We went to the central park zoo but it was closed. We then found mom and dads friend Lauren and we got pizza together. Dad helped her get a taxi home. We went to bed in the hotel and saw lots of lights and buildings. Sunday Feb 19 We went back to Central Park to feed the birds and eat bagels. We had so much fun feeding the birds.  I love Mom.  I love Dad.  I love Conor and Caden so much.  I love me.  I love everyone in the world. We saw people ice

 Here is Mr Caden Francis! Saturday Feb 18 We rented a new car and packed it up on Saturday morning.  We then drove to New York.  It took almost 4 hours! We did a little bit of television, then we rested with our blankets and pillows and then we ate Subway sandwiches.  When we got to NY, we went to Central Park! There were so many birds there. We took a lot of pictures of birds at the New york park (the birds were fat). It was SO FUNNY! We then saw Dad’s friend Lauren and got pizza with her. We watched some youtube videos while we were at dinner. The pizza was so yummy.(My Favorite Bird in the world.) Sunday Feb 19  On Sunday morning we woke up in NY city. We found a place that sold bagels!!! We each ordered a bag and walked back to Central Park. We were sad when we found out the bird sanctuary was closed until 11 o'clock. We were sad but we still saw some more birds and tried to give them our crumbs. We then got in our car and started to drive to Washington DC It took about 4 h

This is What Miscarriage Looks Like…

Me and Jim have some hard news to share. We originally did not think we were going to post something so personal - but while going through this experience, I feel it’s important to share our story and hopefully help other people going through this same emotional roller coaster. It’s sad, it’s frustrating, it’s scary, and quite frankly it is ROUGH.   Here is our story - We surprisingly found out we were expecting over the Fourth of July, our favorite holiday and our favorite week with our favorite people. Naturally, it felt exciting because it was an awesome time. Nonetheless, we were shocked and terrified because our youngest is five. Quite the age gap when you have three kids in 26 months. Fast forward: On Friday, September 24, 2021, when I was 16 weeks pregnant, we found out we were having our fourth boy. We were excited and not at all surprised haha. We knew it was another boy by my symptoms and how I felt.  September 24 is my moms birthday, and September 23 is my dads birthday. Tha
