I’m currently in the second trimester of my 4th pregnancy. Although each pregnancy has been very different (especially this one!), there are definitely some items that have helped me survive through each one. Here are my pregnancy must-haves that I’m sure will make your own pregnancy better. Some of these products also make great gifts!

I have been reading, reading, and reading especially since our normal summer activities are not happening this year. This month I read a wide variety and have both a four-star and a five-star review for you. If I get the time, maybe I’ll put out four more book reviews later this month. I hope you find something great to read from my recommendations below.

S’mores Puppy Chow

I love puppy chow! It is my go-to snack for long car rides. For summer, I wanted to make my puppy chow the perfect camping treat so I added some flavors to have a s’mores version. This recipe makes a lot. There will be plenty for traveling, eating around the campfire, and as a reward for making such a tasty snack.

I love the summer. But I don’t want huge dinners that take forever to make in a hot kitchen. That’s why this week I included skewers on the grill again plus two breakfasts for dinner, one is sweet while the other is savory. I hope you enjoy these recipes.

Cream Puffs

I was pretty disappointed when I heard the Wisconsin State Fair was canceled this year because of COVID. How was I going to get my giant cream puffs? After a completely botched attempt following someone else’s recipe, I decided to create my own (regular-sized) cream puffs. I feel this cream puff recipe is easy to follow plus super tasty! It’s a hardy pastry shell that can handle heavier fillings. I filled them with a basic whipped cream this time but I can’t wait to try pastry cream, lemon curd, etc. I’ll definitely want to cover them in chocolate at some point too – the possibilities are endless.
