{Kid}ding around Friday: Baby Girl's Crib




Growing Up Gardner


I am excited to occasionally link up with this new blog party, now that I have a "kid" to participate.  

After several (easily a half dozen) trips to buybuybaby and Pottery Barn Kids carefully discerning cribs, Eric and I finally picked out the crib for baby girl and (God willing) future Baby Buerglers.  We had our eye on two very similar cribs. One at each store.  Same color and similar design.  However, one was a bit more expensive. 

I did a little online review reading and found that the cheaper one had great reviews and people were genuinely impressed with the quality for the price.  The more expensive one had opposite reviews, people were disappointed in the quality for the price.  So, that settled it.  Cheaper one it is!  

We are so thankful to Eric's parents for their generous gift.  They even bought us the mattress and toddler rail to go with it!

Won't it look *adorable* with this bedding?

(Now we just need baby girl to come!!!)


 I really wish my phone wasn't dead so I could have taken pictures of him tying it on the roof of the Jeep.  Just use your imagination.  It was that entertaining.  He had four employees in the parking lot watching him.  




Have I mentioned my love for the link hostess, Amanda, at Growing Up Gardner?  I've never actually met her, but I admire her from afar...haha! She's a serious SAHM DIY-er with a great sense of style and passion for her kids (and decorating!).  I first discovered her on The Busy Budgeting Mama when her Nautical Nursery was featured. If you're looking for a new fresh read, check her out!

Where has she been?*

It's been a while, friends. Hi! Where did we leave off?  Ah yes, the roach .  He's still alive.  It's been over 10 days.  Though, he's slowing down and looking a little skinnier than when we first found him.  Maybe I'm making it up. I've started my new job with my friends lawn maintenance company.  Most of my time has been spent learning all the new (to me) software, moving the office to it's new locations, and just learning what the company does and offers.  Chris and I have had a great time working together so far.  I'm really enjoying learning new things.  Chris has already taught me a lot about great customer service. This weekend was my last retreat with middle school kids.  It was bittersweet. We had a spirit filled weekend full of lots of laughs, low ropes, rock wall, ultimate frisbee, prayer, and learning about Jesus. Our theme was "You Never Let Go" and we discussed three parables:  The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin, ...

Baking with Betty: Dunwoody Dip

You're probably asking yourself, what is Dunwoody Dip? And it's a great question! It's easy to make. Melty. Cheesy. Meaty. A little bit spicy. And everyone LOVES it!  The origin, though, it's a more difficult to nail down.  My grandmother, who is from Dunwoody, Ga, actually heard about this dip when she was visiting friends in Denver.  Urban legend has it that some guy brought the dip to a party in Denver and when prompted for a name he stalled and said "Dunwoody Dip." Because, apparently he was from Dunwoody.   Who really knows? All I do know, is that this dip is yummy, very easy to make, and is always the first gone at a party or family get together.  Also, Eric might have married me because of this... Dunwoody Dip Ingredients: One tube of Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage Two cans of Rotel Tomatoes - Hot Two bars of Cream Cheese Big bag of Fritos Scoops Directions: Preheat oven to 325. In a large frying pan over medium-ish heat, brown the sausage. ...
