Zzzz
I’m tired. Christmas is so fun but now I’m exhausted! Everyone is happy and full today. The kids are older, so there were bigger, but less presents so it goes fast. Norah Harper got a newer 3s VR that charges faster, a cool LED docking charger for it, some fun stuff for her room, makeup…

What a beauty!
She’s too big for bread but this is my new Gumbo and Jambalaya pot! I love a good Dutch oven. I love this brand too. I’m not a fan of magnalites, because I 100% prefer cast iron to aluminum in any vessel, so I can’t wait to use this Italian beauty on a multitude of…

30 days no urticaria!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Supplementing and being more aware of what I’m eating seems to be keeping it away! My supplements are lengthy but worth it. Here’s what I’ve been taking daily for both skin, stress and digestion: Morning Night: I really believe it’s all been helpful. I’m sleeping well and overall feeling much better. I’ve never been…

What was the last thing you did for play or fun? Gary and I wrestled in a giant pile of leaves in the backyard today. He made a HUGE pile and I tried to jump out and scare him. 🤣🤣🤣

It’s about to smell good!
Tropical BBQ seasoned chuck roast is in the crock pot. Gary’s Mom and Richard are coming tomorrow, so I’m making BBQ Beef & Queso nachos. We all used to eat them at The Shed in Biloxi, and they don’t have them on the menu anymore, so I thought I’d treat us! It’s white queso with…

Wooo hooo. I’ve officially lost 19 lbs. and I haven’t felt like I’ve sacrificed anything to do it. Now I’m just going to concentrate on maintaining it. Also, these are so good. I know they’re higher than Annie’s (3$ a box) but you can use them as a base for a good hearty meal. Add…

Chick-fil-A Lunch!
Tried something different today and the numbers came out even better! 626 calories/49g protein Just an FYI.. the Chick-fil-A menu says the wrap is 660 calories but that is including the avocado dressing that has 310 calories. So the wrap is just 350 calories. Gary and I halfed a wrap and each got a bag…

Heathy Snacks That Don’t Suck
I’d love to have back all the money I’ve spent on terrible health snacks. Some of them are just awful. But here’s a list of things I keep on hand and they are YUMMY! All of these can be found at Walmart and they are so good! And I absolutely love going to ALDI when…

Desert Roses
My Desert Rose pot shattered. I just changed the pots back in April so I was kind of surprised. It was really root bound. I gave it a quick soak and got it back in a larger pot. I guess they need to be checked in the winter too!

He took over my job.. 😆 That’s fine. I’ve got other things to do! I think I’m going to love the black. 🥰 He also frosted the door going out to our sunroom. That big bulky blind is gone! Just the right amount of sunlight. We have had all the stuff to do these projects…

Sweet Girl 🤍
My Norah Harper is feeling better. She ended up with Pneumonia after having Strep, just like Gage. The nurse said they’ve never seen as many kids with the combo of Strep/Pneumonia as they have this year. She’s back in school but sitting out of PE for a bit.

Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech? Yep! But mostly when I was a kid. I sang a few solos in church, and I was in choir for a few years. I was a Showstopper tumbler in Gymnastics. We would perform at the Mall and do shows frequently. Piano recitals, and obviously…

Gut Friendly Smoothie
I’ve noticed when I have too many smoothies they kind of give me heartburn. It’s the acidity from the fruit and juices. So tonight I made one using almond milk as the base. Almond milk has alkaline in it, so it balances out acid. That’s why baking soda kills the acidity in tomato sauces. I…

December Decorating
I’ve been on a mission to find homes for all of our stuff this week. Lots of moving things around! We’ve done a lot to the house this month. Touch up painting and things that are only noticeable to us, but they sure make a difference. This is a great little shelf I got at…

What is something others do that sparks your admiration? There’s many. I’m always impressed with people who have incredible faith in bad situations. People who overcome addictions. I think they’re probably some of the strongest individuals on the planet. I’m a few years into refraining from alcohol, but people who kick hard drug habits are…

What’s your favorite cartoon? Peanuts or Tom & Jerry. Gary and I watch old Tom & Jerry episodes late at night sometimes.. They’re so funny! Peanuts is also my favorite Comic Strip. That and Calvin and Hobbes. 🫶🏻

What could you do less of? Worrying. It is such a thief of Joy. I try to lean into my faith and give God have control, because when I do that, I can see the difference in my life and my mental health. That doesn’t mean you aren’t actively participating in your life, but you…

We’re obsessed.
I got this RLT mask a while back but never even messed with it. We have a lamp we put on at night but it’s only red light and I was reading about White Light so I pulled it out (it has white, red, blue, purple, green, orange and cyan) and now we can’t stop…

Taco Bell without blowing your diet!
My husband is a Taco Bell fanatic, so anytime he can talk me into it, he’s a happy guy. 🤣 I prefer the taco truck in town and more authentic Mexican food, but I’ve found a few good options to stay on track with my food goals. I had the bean burrito, which is very…
