Strawberry salad.

So, I have been having major cravings for fruit during my second trimester. Honestly... I feel like if I could live on fruit for the rest of my life, I easily would! And to show my undying love for fruit I wanted to share this amazing salad recipe with you that I adore! It's pretty simple and tastes delish!

What you will need for a company of four.
1. one carton of strawberries.
2. A large can of  mandarin oranges
3. a large can of pineapples.
4. about a handful of blueberries
5. a handful of pecans.
6. chicken.
7. Romaine lettuce

And of course you can make more or less changes if one desires. It's pretty much impossible to make this salad less wonderful!

Directions:  Pretty much just mix it all together with a cup of love and enjoy with your favorite salad dressing ;)

Dressing recommendations vinaigrette Poppy seed dressing. It tastes great with the fruit!
What I don't recommend is ranch, but you never know. You might like it!

My peached sized baby grew over night!

 So ladies, I am finally 16 weeks! I have been looking forward to this because honestly, I just can't wait to find out whether I'm having a a wee lad or lassie!! I am very honest when I say waiting this long period of weeks to find out whether I'm having a son or daughter has been torture. Seriously!!! I have never been very patient when it came to surprises. In fact if someone had a surprise for me, I'd rather them not tell me at all until the day they give it to me. Because those kinda things keep me up at night literally! haha, Anyways back to what I was saying. I am super excited to be in my second trimester. I'm feeling so much better and I am enjoying each and every day of my pregnancy. GOD IS AWESOME!

It seriously felt like our child grew over night! The other night  Leon and I were laying in bed together and Leon was putting his hand on my stomach and was like "Whoa! Your getting huge!! Now, must I say if he were to say that on any other occasion other than pregnancy I probably would have cried! But on this matter I was super excited!

Let us remember to not just remember our brave soldiers once a year, but every day of the year. Because somewhere there is a wife, a husband, a mother, a father, a brother, a sister, a cousin, an uncle, an Aunt and a friend who is thinking about a soldier 24/7 God bless America and God bless our soldiers.. The ones that were taken and will never be forgotten, the ones who are home with their families, the ones that are retired and the ones that are out defending our freedom today! God bless you. I deeply admire,love and respect   every one of you! Jon, Shaun and Joshua I can't tell you how proud I am to know you! Love all of you and I can't wait to see you =)
