If Only I Knew of A Catchy Title

Why I love the weekend...

We are in the midst of unswaddling at night {heaven help us}. Seeing this when I came home Friday brought tears to my eyes. I am really looking forward to Cricket learning to sleep on her back like this at night. Right now she prefers to bop herself in the face and wake up frustrated. And, don't even get me started on how much she hates having her arms constricted in a swaddle. Poor girl can't win. Alas, we have made strides. I know we'll get there 100% eventually...I pray.

Garage sale season is upon us. Mr. Schalk found this hutch for a steal. It looks very lovely in our front room with out vintage faves on top. Way to go Mister!

This just in!
Double D has any size, any flavor, iced coffee and iced tea for 99 cents from 3-6pm everyday. Yes, they even have decaf. Woo woo!

Weekends are for Mr. Schalk's many adventures. Here he is working on our dining room renovation. It's going to be fantastic. Yes, he is amazing...and handsome!

Reason #426 why I love weekends.
Baking!
Good Medicine cookies for my man {& me!}. Also, on the menu was my first ever pot roast made in a 1960's pressure cooker purchased from Etsy. No photos because we ate it too fast. It was tasty! ("It's so tasty, too!" 10 points for anyone who names that TV show.)

Weekends are especially for lazy Sunday afternoon naps, which were had by all. Bonnie has perfected this skill, as she sleepily demonstrates atop her favorite blankie.

Happy Monday friends! I hope you all have a grand week in store!

  4. That looks like such a great weekend - baby, cookies, garage sales, home reno and cuddles with the pooch.

    The boyfriend is sitting beside me right now and leaned over to say "I want to eat those cookies", haha. Do you have the recipe?

  7. Love that garage sale find! Read a comment you posted on middle of the night nursing sessions and reading blogs and had to come over. That was so me nursing my little.

  8. When Chickie was a baby, babies were supposed to sleep on their sides. That was new, because just prior to that, they were supposed to sleep on their backs, I think? "They" change it out every few years, I guess.

About A Cupcake for Moose

Combining my childhood nickname of “Moose” and a sincere passion for all things sweet, A Cupcake for Moose was formed in 2009. Follow along this Midwesterners joyful, slightly dorky, always unique perspective on life as I seek to glorify God through photos, stories, recipes and laughter. With my wild at heart husband, Mr. Schalk, our two babies, "Cricket" and "Chief", and our crazy pup, Bonnie, it is sure to be an adventure!
