since Monday around 10am. I’ve prepped and frozen about 30 dinners, canned 6 jars of homemade marinara sauce, frozen 2 more of bolognese, and gone through somewhere around 30 pounds of meat from our weekend at Costco and Whole Foods. Our freezer is full to bursting, and I love it. This is all to prepare for the arrival of H Sprout and the expectation that neither Adam nor I will have it together to do much cooking for the foreseeable future. But we can throw things in crockpots or stick things in the oven!</p> <p><a href="http://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3358.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-8945" title="freezer1" src="http://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3358-590x442.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="442" srcset="https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3358-590x442.jpg 590w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3358-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3358.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3363.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-8947" title="freezer2" src="http://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3363-590x442.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="442" srcset="https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3363-590x442.jpg 590w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3363-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3363.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px" /></a>But let’s not talk about how I’m feeling physically.</p> <p> <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2012/02/29/i-am-not-so-good-at-putting-my-feet-up/#more-8941" class="more-link">Read more on I Am Not So Good at Putting My Feet Up…</a></p> </div> </div>  <div class="bar"> <div class="share">  <a class="share-twitter" onclick="window.open('http://twitter.com/home?status=I Am Not So Good at Putting My Feet Up - https://www.jackiereeve.com/2012/02/29/i-am-not-so-good-at-putting-my-feet-up/','twitter','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=I Am Not So Good at Putting My Feet Up - https://www.jackiereeve.com/2012/02/29/i-am-not-so-good-at-putting-my-feet-up/" title="I Am Not So Good at Putting My Feet Up" target="blank"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a>  <a class="share-facebook" onclick="window.open('http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2012/02/29/i-am-not-so-good-at-putting-my-feet-up/','facebook','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;" href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2012/02/29/i-am-not-so-good-at-putting-my-feet-up/" title="I Am Not So Good at Putting My Feet Up" target="blank"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i></a> <a class="share-google" href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2012/02/29/i-am-not-so-good-at-putting-my-feet-up/" onclick="window.open('https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2012/02/29/i-am-not-so-good-at-putting-my-feet-up/','gplusshare','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;"><i class="fa fa-google-plus"></i></a> <a onClick="MyWindow=window.open('http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2012/02/29/i-am-not-so-good-at-putting-my-feet-up/&media=&description=I Am Not So Good at Putting My Feet Up','MyWindow','width=600,height=400'); return false;" style="cursor:pointer;" target="_blank" id="pinterest-share"><i class="fa fa-pinterest"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="masonr"> <div class="post post-8931 type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-family-life-2 category-home tag-couture-decals tag-decorating tag-nursery tag-sprout">   <div class="clear"></div> <div class="frame"> <div class="title-wrap"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2012/02/26/hannahs-tree/" title="H’s Tree">H’s Tree</a></h2> <div class="title-meta"> <span><i class="fa fa-user"></i><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/author/admin/" title="Posts by jackie" rel="author">jackie</a></span> <span><i class="fa fa-calendar"></i><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2012/02/26/">February 26, 2012</a></span> <span class="categories"><i class="fa fa-align-justify"></i><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/category/old-blog/family-life/family-life-2/" rel="category tag">Family</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/category/old-blog/family-life/home/" rel="category tag">Home</a></span> <span class="tags"><i class="fa fa-tag"></i><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/tag/couture-decals/" rel="tag">couture decals</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/tag/decorating/" rel="tag">decorating</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/tag/nursery/" rel="tag">nursery</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/tag/sprout/" rel="tag">sprout</a></span> </div> </div> <div class="post-content"> <p>Today Adam and I hung this tree from <a title="Couture Decals" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/couturedecals?ref=pr_shop_more">Couture Decals</a> in the baby’s room, and I’m in love with it.

My brother-in-law Morgan, while helping me with the backing fabric for Adam’s quilt, mentioned that he could change some of the station names on the London tube map if I wanted. And that gave me the idea to create a print for Adam, something completely separate from the quilt, with notable London spots from his life. Adam had a print of<a title="The Great Bear" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Bear_%28lithograph%29"> “The Great Bear” </a>in his apartment when we first met, and it was destroyed last summer <a title="Hurricane Irene" href="http://www.jackiereeve.com/?p=8278">during the hurricane </a>when our basement flooded. We’d also been talking about making some kind of family tree to put in H’s room. So when Morgan told me he could tweak the map, this seemed like the perfect plan.</p> <p><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2012/02/18/adams-map/" class="more-link">Read more on Adam’s Map…</a></p> </div> </div>  <div class="bar"> <div class="share">  <a class="share-twitter" onclick="window.open('http://twitter.com/home?status=Adam’s Map - https://www.jackiereeve.com/2012/02/18/adams-map/','twitter','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Adam’s Map - https://www.jackiereeve.com/2012/02/18/adams-map/" title="Adam’s Map" target="blank"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a>  <a class="share-facebook" onclick="window.open('http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2012/02/18/adams-map/','facebook','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;" href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2012/02/18/adams-map/" title="Adam’s Map" target="blank"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i></a> <a class="share-google" href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2012/02/18/adams-map/" onclick="window.open('https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2012/02/18/adams-map/','gplusshare','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;"><i class="fa fa-google-plus"></i></a> <a onClick="MyWindow=window.open('http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2012/02/18/adams-map/&media=&description=Adam’s Map','MyWindow','width=600,height=400'); return false;" style="cursor:pointer;" target="_blank" id="pinterest-share"><i class="fa fa-pinterest"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>   <a href="#" id="load-more" rel="year=2012&monthnum=2" >Load More</a>  </div>   </div> <div id="footer" class="clearfix"> <div class="footer-inner"> <div class="clear"></div> <p class="copyright">I've worked hard on everything here, including the photos.
