Dresser Makeover and Monday Menu

Happy Monday!!

After all the traveling we have done this summer and trying to get through my first trimester, I figured it's time to get back to a schedule to help make my life a little easier throughout the rest of the pregnancy. Starting with my weekly menu. So, here's what's cookin this week...

Monday: Chicken salad

Tuesday: BLT's with fruit salad

Wednesday: Homemade pizza

Thursday: Sweet and sour chicken with rice

Friday: Cheese burgers with fries

Saturday: Creamy chicken enchiladas with salad

Sunday: Dinner with friends

Also, I know this has been weeks ago, but here are the pictures of the dressers my hubby and I re-did. We love how they turned out!

Pregnancy Update: I am feeling much better now that I'm past my first trimester. Thank you for all your kind words and advise! I have a lot more energy, but I have been experiencing some pretty bad back pain. Looks like I'll be investing in one of those support belts. Let's hope that helps! We find out the gender in a couple weeks! We're super excited!
