Sweets-Bite size apple pies

I've never been the type that cooks fancy meals. However, now that I have a baby I decided I wanted to start getting more involved in the 'kitchen world' and what better way to start than with yummy sweets. I've always had a sweet tooth & as I was navigating on Pinterest I came across so many ideas/recipes for easy, fast and delicious sweets.

So I've made it my goal to try new recipes and have my family be the guinea pigs!

My first try was Bite Size Apple Pies and they were delicious. You can have them with ice cream, hot chocolate or a tall glass of milk! YUMMM!

Ingredients:

1 tube of crescent roll dough
1/2 cup of brown sugar
2 tbs. cinnamon
2 tbs of melted butter
1 tart apple (cut into 8 wedges)

Total time: 20-25 mins

Directions:

In a small bowl pour the brown sugar and cinnamon and unroll the crescent rolls. Brushed them with the melted butter. Sprinkled them with brown sugar and cinnamon.

Cut each sheet and wrap one strip around each apple wedge, placing sugared side of pastry against apple.

Place on baking sheet and bake for 15 mins or until pastry is golden brown and viola you got yourself some yummy bite size apple pies!

Enjoy :)

& of course all of this was done while I rocked my little one <3

Engagement

May 23, 2004 is the date we officially became boyfriend & girlfriend. It was such a special and wonderful moment for us. We met about 3 years prior at an assembly of the Jehovah's Witnesses. He approached me and asked for my number but I gave him my email. I never made things easy for a guy! I heard from him about three months after and he told me that he never had an email address so he had to go to the library and figure out how to send an email. My email address has two zeros in it and he thought it was two O's instead. Poor guy! He really made an effort, I have to give him that much. We lost contact after a while but eventually started talking and to be honest what caught my attention was his amazing sense of humor. We were chatting and, to this day, I can remember our conversation because he had me laughing so much! I can honestly say (& some of our friends can vouch for us) we had a rocky relationship at times. We would break up and get back together often and I blame our immaturity for that. After outgrowing that stage I noticed how much our relationship had grown after 7 years of dating we tied the knot. It has been a beautiful journey ever since. I love Daniel very much and I thank God everyday for having him in my life. Not only is he a wonderful husband but also a great friend, support system, hard worker and I'm sure he will be an amazing father.

Lucas Birth Story

October 6, 2013 I was 39 weeks, it was that day when I felt Lucas was going to be joining us. I went up to Daniel like around 10:30 pm and told him "Babe don't freak out but I think my water broke!" We called our doctor and he recommended for me to go to the hospital. We grabbed the hospital bag and we took off. At this point I felt extremely calm and extremely happy that Lucas was finally coming. The rash & the heavy load of my belly was becoming a bit too much for me so I was anxious to meet our little guy.

Once we got to the hospital they sent us to the triage room and they measured me and told me I was only 4 centimeters dilated but they were going to contact my doctor to see if I should stay or go (Oh & by the way my water did not break--the doctor actually broke my water and it felt NOTHING like what I had in mind.) After almost two hours of waiting the doctor finally decided that it was best if I stayed and they were going to induce me. 

I was moved to a delivery room around midnight and at 7am the doctor came, broke my t water and contractions started immediately. i must applaud every single mother out there who is able to deliver w/o an epidural because i broke down and i needed the doc ASAP! such a tremendous amount of pain but i knew at the end it would all be worth it.

at 12:00pm i started to push (i pushed for 3.5 hours) and at last our baby was born. he was 9lbs!! for those that know me i'm a pretty short & small gal' so having a baby this big was such an accomplishment for me lol! as soon as i held my son i couldn't contain myself and tears just came down my face! it was such an emotional & surreal experience.

now we are a party of three and i'm loving it.
