Spicy Shrimp-n-Grits

My hubby and I went to B.Smith's in DC for our valentine's dinner this year. He ordered the Shrimp-n-Grits, which were good.. but I thought with the right recipe, I could make this even better! I found this great blog while I was searching for a good shrimp-n-grits recipe a few weeks ago.
The husband that cook's recipe for Spicy Shrimp-n-grits looked pretty great to me! I really liked the fact that it had carrots (and celery) in it, which I just started to love cooked! It also meant that this was pretty much a meal in one, since the veggie side was included in. I think I added a tad more carrots than called for. It turned out to be friggin fantastic! Cliff said it was the best meal I've made so far! (He could be exaggerating, I'm sure I've made some other amazing things too.)

Slithering passerby....

Me and the kiddies went for a nice stroll yesterday around our neighborhood. We found this slithering by only 3 houses down. It was just about a foot or so, baby snake! Shanti wasn't even scared! But don't let a tiny little bug come flying by... she'll be running for the hills!

The Second Child

I feel bad sometimes for brother bear. I spent alot more time with sister bear when she was his age. Reading, playing, etc. He is definitely more of an independent kind of baby, forced maybe. But time slips away every single day. Sister needs alot of attention, so does everything else like work, the house, the husband.

I love these babies so much, and I'd love to have another some day... but I just don't see how that could work for me. 3 kids!

I get maybe an hour a day for myself now, where sometimes I just end up going to sleep early or sit around doing absolutely NOTHING in silence....

I can't even imagine how hectic it will get when they are in school, in activities, doing homework and projects. Wow!

Being a MOM is the most definitely the HARDEST JOB ON THE PLANET!

Food Trucks!

I must say, this new thing of food trucks being everywhere in the City is pretty darn great! The food is great!

I have to say, there is an amazing cupcake food truck in Rosslyn today.
