We’re back from our last vacation as a family of three! Every ounce of our trip was filled with so much magic and so many memories. Our little girl was in love with every bit of Disney from the big castle and seeing all of her friends to riding rides and watching parades, there is truly no better feeling than watching your little one love something so much! We certainly did create memories for a lifetime and I can’t wait to tell our second little one of their first unofficial trip to Disney in mommy’s belly.
It’s hard to believe next time we venture down to Disney we’ll be a four rather than a three but we couldn’t be more excited to make even more Disney memories with our little one and her new baby sister. That’s right! We’re having a little girl! While I never really had a “feeling” of what this little one might be I would’ve sworn it was a boy judging by how different I had felt this pregnancy from my first but after two ultrasounds confirming it we are definitely going to be welcoming our second little girl this summer! I’m so in love with our first little girl and I just can’t wait to shower our new little one with just as much love.
Stay tuned for more pregnancy updates and Disney gluten free recaps!
Sincerely,
Lindsay (23 weeks)
Meet Baby #2! With Christmas only two days away and my grandfather home and on the mend, we couldn’t be happier to announce that we’re expecting our second baby, coming this summer. We’ve hoped and prayed that God would bless us with another little miracle and our prayers have been answered. The past few months have been a whirlwind of emotions, mostly filled with overwhelming joy and excitement to become a mommy of two. And as excited as both Dan and I are to welcome a new little baby into this world. we can’t help but be equally as excited for our little girl. She’ll one day soon be a big sister, mommy’s big helper, and have an eternal playmate and best friend. While our lives are changing immensely, our precious little girl’s is doing just the same and in ways she’s too young to understand.
After finding out the good news we started planting the seed with our little one that there was a baby in Mommy’s belly. At first, her interest was for a grand total of two seconds but now she’ll point to my belly telling me where the baby is, always following that with her amazing hugs and kisses for her sister/brother to be. As I’ve been everyday since my little girl was born, I’m in absolute awe at how big her little heart is. Ever since her very beginning she’s been my little love bug, always sharing a hug and kiss and now as she’s become a new two year old she understands exactly what love is and never stops sharing her “I love you”s and “I miss you”s. Seeing just how sweet she is with baby still inside, I can’t wait to see her reaction when she first lays eyes on her new sibling. It’ll be a day that none of us will ever forget but thankfully one that we have a little bit of time yet to prepare for.
In the meantime, it’s onto celebrating the holidays and looking forward to the new year that is ahead of us. We’ve got big plans for our big two year old this Christmas, especially since she’s well warmed up on the present opening front thanks to her birthday. I can’t wait to see her joy and amazement Christmas morning all dressed up in her Christmas jammies with her amazing bed hair. It’ll be one of the best Christmas’s yet for Mommy, Daddy, and Little Girl (and we can’t forget baby too!), we can’t wait! I’m so thankful for the new little blessing that we have this holiday and the good health and happiness of the rest of my family. Cheers to a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday to you all!
Note: You might’ve noticed the absence of my gluten free food posts lately. This first trimester has been really rough so food in any form has not been my friend at all but hopefully from here on things will get a bit easier. Stay tuned for my favorite gluten free foods while pregnant, the ins and outs of my first trimester, and pregnancy bump updates and vlogs!

I think we’ve officially started a new chapter in the book of gluten free. No longer will we be limited to the pioneers of the gluten free world (thanks to all of you!) that first offered reliable products that were pricey but safe for us to enjoy. Now with the emergence of allergen awareness, huge food brands are putting out tastier gluten free versions of everyday diet staples at more affordable prices. From General Mills with Chex, Ronzoni and Barilla with pasta, Perdue with breaded chicken tenders, and finally now Freschetta with their new gluten free frozen pizzas!
While I love to make my own pizzas with gluten free mixes or even start with the premade crusts by Udi’s or Schar, you can’t get more convenient than a frozen pizza produced by one of the top brands out there! Pre-gluten free days I occasionally picked up one of these for a quick and easy dinner when I lived on my own in grad school and as far as frozen pizzas go, Freschetta were always my favorite; so I’m super excited to track one of these down and give it a try! Learn more about Freschetta’s new gluten free pizzas along with where you can pick them up here. Let me know if you’ve had success in tracking them down in a store near you and if they taste as good as they look and I’ll do the same!
