House of Alcina

Super Greens (kale, brocolli and cabbage in garlic sauce) with Pepper Sirloin and Sesame Chicken. 610 calories 47g protein It’s very hard to do Chinese food and maintain low calories, but this was fantastic and had good balance.

I beat him at Mario Karts. Really bad. 🤗🤗🤗🤣🤣🤣

We had a great sermon this morning about Relationships. Such a wonderful message about both everyday life and also intimacy. Also a great message about friendships and how important it is to be different. We weren’t created to be alike, we were created differently so we can help align each other. Good stuff.

Such a fun night worshipping with awesome people. I tell you what… my husband can sing. He has one of the prettiest voices and I love to hear him use it. It’s funny how we become a lot more audacious as we get older. He doesn’t even flinch with that kind of stuff anymore and…

Getting things done today. I have to share my Anniversary gift because I’m loving it so much, and I think it is so useful. Gary surprised me with the Echo Show 21 and I absolutely love it. It has all of our Ring cams, outdoor lights and thermostat on it and all of our calendars,…

Let me scream it for you. Woo hoooo. Gary’s off until Tuesday and I’m a happy Mama! Our new mattress was delivered a few days ago and my back is so thankful!! I slept so good the last 2 nights and my back is feeling better already. What a difference! We ended up going with…

My new Storefront is up. Go check out my newly curated finds. Click here.

I could never be a vegetarian. I love meat too much, but I have a weakness for corn dogs and I don’t let myself have them bc they’re just loaded with sodium and fat. Well these are a game changer. Only 140 calories a piece and they taste just like a real corndog. Actually, better.…

Oh my goodness! They’re Naval Academy colors with my Mom’s signature purple in the back and tongue! I have the sweetest Dad! 🤍

I got 2 more samples from Tik Tok today that I didn’t even realize were coming.. A very cool digital microscope for the kids (I’ll show you guys what it does when it’s charged) and a cute T-shirt, but most importantly, my friend from Tampa sent me some Shampoo Ginger roots to start!! 🫚 Woo…

I always love it when the kids are home, so we had a very good day today. I talked to my friend Angela today and her son Richard (the one in ICU) was moved to a regular room today and will probably get to go home tomorrow. God is so good!!! They had to all…

Today I received my first few packages of sample products from the Tik Tok shop to review. They say you need 10k followers but you can unlock sample requesting early by going Live for the first time and reviewing purchased products. It’s kind of exciting!! I’m just surprised that more people aren’t doing it. I…

Very interesting!! Family Studies- Why Liberal Women are so Unhappy https://www.americansurveycenter.org/newsletter/the-despair-of-young-liberal-women/

My heart feels heavy this morning. Gage’s very best friend is in ICU at the children’s hospital in Tampa after being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. He’s slowly getting better, but he was in pretty bad shape, and had just recovered from the flu, so it was hard to recognize his symptoms. Please join us…

Oh my goodness.. 😂😂😂 I told Gary to get me zero sugar candies or I would otherwise blow my diet. So he got me an assortment of Zero York Peppermint Patties and Zero Reese’s. LOL!!!!!!!!! Y’all… do not eat more than 2 because I have been stuck in my house in the bathroom all day!!!…

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. I feel like it’s most people’s least favorite holiday, and I can understand that. I only like it because my kids love it so much. Our Anniversary is this month so we make Valentines more about the kiddos. Gary always gets me flowers and I get him…

I’m always sharing my Amazon Finds, but now you can hop on my link and see what I’ve found on my Amazon Storefront. Add me here! I’ll post the link above in my bio too.

Happy Wednesday! I went for cryotherapy this morning and then we stopped at Fire &Food and grabbed some lunch to go. I usually get the Gyro, but I went with the Chicken Wrap today and it is fantastic. I ate about half and I’ll have the rest tomorrow. I’m doing a greens smoothie for dinner…

Kellen Moore, The Philadelphia Eagles’ Offensive Coordinator, is now the head coach for the New Orleans Saints!! Let’s GO!!!!!! Who DAT?!?

She’s in! The Senate just voted 52-46 to invoke cloture and activate Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation vote. Based on that, she is 100% confirmed. Our new badass Director of National Intelligence!!!!

God of creationThere at the startBefore the beginning of time With no point of referenceYou spoke to the darkAnd fleshed out the wonder of light And as You speakA hundred billion galaxies are bornIn the vapour of Your breath the planets formIf the stars were made to worship, so will II can see Your heart…

Well, the halftime show was pretty boring, but it’s not our kind of music so there’s that. It was just kinda blah and a lot of mumbling. I think I only knew of one song, so I left to clean my kitchen and halfway watched it while Gary took a quick shower. Getting Serena Williams…

Look at this adorable candy dish. 🤗 I just love him. Gary is from Louisiana and I’m from Mississippi, so we have been saying we need an alligator with a Magnolia somehow tied into it. I’m going to put Magnolia flowers in its mouth instead of candy when our trees start blooming.🤍 They smell so…

I’m loving this reboot. 🤍

Great start to our weekend. Headed home to find a good movie and settle in. 🤍

Let me tell you about my Jesus!! Late last night I tuned into a live worship with Brad Lee, and it was powerful. Gary and I both had tears in our eyes. Gary made the kids come and join us for the last few songs and closing prayer. First off, he’s an amazing guitarist.. but…

Our roomba mop ran into my little table and broke my scentsy wax burner, so I decided to see what they had in Walmart. It’s so cute I had to get 2!! I just love them!!!

Welcome to the world Elijah Rodan. Aunt Jenny loves you so much. 🤍

Funny how our Mama’s still water us even when they’re gone. We were trying to find a book for Gage for a project and Gary found another notebook of my Mom’s in our attic today. It was in Jay’s stuff. He must have gotten it when we were sorting through her things. It’s another one…

It’s been a lovely day but I am so tired. We exchanged our Anniversary gifts, ordered takeout tacos and watched a movie in bed tonight. It was perfect. We were hoping to have a new nephew born on our Anniversary, but he’s having a hard time coming into this crazy world. Jess let us know…

Just signed Gary and I up!! You can sign up for free here. We did the CS Lewis course and I started the Christian History course before Christmas and never finished it, but I’m totally doing this. If you sign up let me know so we can chat about it! 🤍

Today I’ve been married to this precious soul for 12 years. 🤍 I love you G-Money! You’ve healed a million different parts of me over the years and I’m so thankful to be doing this life with you. Twelve years of laughter, late-night talks, adventures big and small, and growing a family together. It feels…

I just went through that entire thelawsuitinfo.com website that Justin Baldoni and his attorney put up. I’m flabbergasted. This is exactly why you should document everything… I mean everything. Blake Lively is such a provoker and shit stirrer and then she rolled over and played the victim. I love that he saw through that and…
