We’re thinking about moving.

The possibility of a bigger house sounds glorious, especially when our small starter home is going to be stretched to the limit once I pop out baby #3.

But with a bigger house comes bigger problems like holycraphowwillIcleanitifIcan’tevenkeepthishouseclean. There’s more square footage that can get destroyed, so it’s inevitable that I’d have to get a live-in maid.

Oh wait, that’s ME.

So, I guess I’m perfectly content staying in my small, but wonderful house for the time being.

I will say that having a smaller home makes it a whole lot easier to say no to toys and extra ‘things’ that tend to accumulate.

Just 2 weeks ago, we did a big organization day where we went through all my kids’ toys, keeping few and tossing or donating the rest.

I don’t think I mentioned this before, but Brooke and Blake are now sharing a room! I moved them together to make room for the baby so now it’s twice the crap in the half the space but now everything fits and it’s clean and together.

I am slowly working my way through the entire house, organizing, dusting and cleaning as I go. We just had our area rugs and couch cleaned on Tuesday. I even told my husband that for my birthday I want to get the car detailed so we can install the baby’s car seat into a clean van.

Pregnancy nesting. It really lights a fire under ya.

I’ve been a little busy with this moving/cleaning/organizing daze that I forgot to post this pie recipe a few weeks ago when I was on my *leetle* pie kick. I’m craving everything that comes in a pastry shell, so pie has never really left my thought process since the week before Thanksgiving. This is my take on a super speedy pecan pie.

Yes, it’s not a traditional pecan pie, but oh my heavens it is mighty creamy and tasty! And did I mention a breeze to make? It’ll take you a good 7 minutes, literally.

Whip cream. Chop nuts. Mix with cream cheese and sugar. Pour into pie shell.

That’s basically it.

Feel free to snarf the whole thing down in a 36 hour period like I did. I won’t tell.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to steam clean some floors.
