2 Things

First thing: Dinner tonight is going to be Burrito Burgers--the recipe and photo is from my Rachael Ray magazine Click on photo to see better
Click on photo to read recipe


After I make my own tonight, I will snap a few photos and share them tomorrow--I will also let you know if my family liked this recipe--how can anything with that much avocado on top be bad...LOL.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Second thing: My nursing Journey with Little Kevin is over--the last day I nursed him was Saturday---so at the very bottom of my blog--I will be removing my ticker---I nursed Kevin for almost 22 months:) I am sad, but I am also happy I was able to do this for my child, my little baby is growing up. I nursed Tony for 14 months and Alexis for 2 1/2 years. Will this be my last baby, will Saturday be the last time I ever hold a little child and nurse him? Only God knows, and I thank him every day for letting me do this not once, not twice but three times, I am truly blessed.

Happy Tuesday Everyone.

Awww that is so sweet. I wish more women felt the way you do. You are such a good mommy and wife.

I also nursed my 3rd, and last, for 22 months. It is bitter sweet, I know. Just cuddle him now, instead. We continued that at bedtime, for a LONG time! BTW, he's almost 16 years old now! He doesn't remember the nursing(thank goodness!), but he does remember the bed-time cuddling!
Bless you!

Well, I recommended burritos, didn't I. but this sounds even better! Let us know what you think of them, because I think anything with avocado in it or on it, is yummy!!

I nursed all my kidlettes until they were about a year old - when they each decided to quit. It was an emotional time for me when they stopped, but it was their decision and they moved on just fine. There's no better feeling in the world, just knowing that you're doing such a wonderful thing for your children, is there?

Funny story...
Here in Australia, "nursing" simply means cuddling - NOT feeding, so when someone once asked me to nurse her baby, ("would you nurse him for me"?) I turned about 6 shades of red and said "WHAT?, are you nuts??? I'm not nursing your baby!!!"

Congrats on your nursing success. I did not nurse my children, I tried with my son but he did not take to it. As for girlscouts we were to sale 100 but only pre-oredered 81. She will get credit for whatever she sales at the booths:) We have a camping trip coming up in March and Im excited about that. Cant wait to hear how your dinner goes:)

I nursed all three of my kids and am so happy I was able to do that. It was a special time.

That burger looks really, really good! Oh, sweetie, I understand how it must be bittersweet to stop nursing. You should be so proud of yourself for doing it as long as you did.

Blessings, Sharon

What a wonderful gift you have given little Kevin, Julieann. I think I mentioned before that I nursed Benjamin until 15 months when he weaned himself. I was heartbroken! LOL

Congrats on nursing to 22 months! Wonderful! I know how you feel...it is bittersweet. I cherish every moment of nursing, knowing my "baby" is in the last half of her nursing time with me. And yet, it is so wonderful to see them grow so fast, and learn so much, and learn to love. ((((hugs)))) you are a wonderful mama!
