A review of your favorite recipes from August, a little from my life and recipe inspiration for August!
The highlight in August was that my husband graduated from BYU with his MBA degree! I am incredibly proud of him! He worked so hard for 2 years, working full time, homework almost every night for hours, group meetings, school on the weekends, a foreign business trip to Europe, other responsibilities, and so much more! He learned so much along the way and had an incredible experience.
It was a busy time for me as well. My 4th baby was born shortly after he started, I took on most of the parenting responsibilities and now it’s almost time for baby #5 to arrive! I am very grateful for the growth I had because of it. I am also very grateful to have my husband back and home more often.
Here’s a look back at August…

Becky’s Bites of Life:
August was quite the month! Honestly, I am so glad it’s over. It was filled with more hard days than not but I’m grateful things are looking up. My pregnancy has gotten harder, I had an awful pain that hurt so bad when walking but thankfully it isn’t too bad now! 4 more weeks, give or take until we get to meet our sweet baby girl. (I highly recommend NOT going on a long car trip in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy!)
On one of the hardest days I had this month, I splurged and bought this ice cream. It’s SO good you guys! Worth the money! What is your favorite Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor? I want to try them all but keep wanting to just buy this one!
My older boys started school! Every year it’s quite the adjustment, but thankfully they are both adjusted now and are loving it. (Back to school signs from Mother’s Niche.)
Now my weekdays are spent with cute Carina and Luke. We went to our favorite place to get ice cream, The BYU Creamery. If you are ever in Provo you have to stop by! Our favorite flavors are, Fluffernutter and Graham Canyon. They also have really good burgers and spicy fries.

Thoughts/Things I’m Loving Lately:
-Our kids begged us to buy this Ball Tent/Tunnel. They helped pay for it and they love it! We also bought extra balls.
-I bought another bath rinser because it’s the best and sometimes my kids take a bath downstairs and sometimes upstairs. I highly recommend it!
-My favorite healthier snack lately is dark chocolate covered almonds. What are your favorite healthier snacks?
