All things SHAZ these days...

This post is about ME, so if you are looking to hear updates and see pictures of Conor and Caden - you may need to wait til the next post. ;)

Two years ago, around this time, I posted a list of "what I'm watching, what I'm listening to, and what I'm eating" and I thought it would be fun to do it again. I think Lindsey gave me the idea, so thanks Linds! I think it's only fair to document what I am doing, as well as what the boys doing these days. Right? So here you go, these are the things that I am into currently.

1. What I'm Watching:  Scandal (still) and QUANTICO! The new show on ABC. 



2. What I'm Listening To:  "Beautiful Drug" by Zac Brown Band - the boys favorite - and my new favorite Pandora station, which is Thomas Jack radio. My cousin Derek recommended it and we both love listening to it when we are hanging at my place.


3. What I'm Eating:  Protein! 

This is actually the same answer I gave two years ago in October 2013 because I was pregnant with the twins and didn't announce it yet. I don't know if anyone is aware of this, but when you are pregnant, you are supposed to eat about 100 g of protein per day. An average sized woman should eat anywhere from 50-70 anyway, so add a crapload and you are now feeding twins. Anyway, back to Shaz. In my Halloween post a few weeks ago, I mentioned I was trying to decrease my sugar intake, and increase my protein intake with these coffee/vanilla protein powder smoothies. That's been going pretty well!  So far, I feel great.


All for now, nothing too exciting to report. I do have a fabulous fall dinner dish that I blogged about last year - but I need to redo and take pics. My last post just touched on it briefly. I will give you a hint, it includes turnip, onions, and eggplant. It's delish and perfect for this time of year.

xo,
Shaz

PS Flashback to when Milady hosted Veronica and I for dinner in November 2011. We must redo this ASAP! This time, I will host, and we need to extend the invite to Kristin Z! Veronica needs to come back and visit Boston!! Let's plan it girls. ;)

  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 everyo...

 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 ...

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 birt...
