Happy Thanksgiving
We had such a low key Thanksgiving. It was just what we needed. Gary and I cooked a good meal and did a little decorating. The kids watched the Macy’s Parade and Peanuts Thanksgiving on Apple+. Gage has a bad cold but we had a sweet little family day. We’re all piled in our bed…

The last of the pumpkins!
We thawed this old girl out from the freezer today. I sure wish I could eat it! Hopefully I can have a slice in a few weeks 🙂

Hello Monday
I think I just finished my Christmas shopping. Yay!! Gary’s having to do some kind of testing today, so that gave he some quiet time to knock it out. My kids were pretty straight forward with their lists this year. Gage wanted a faster gaming PC and Harper wanted to upgrade to the MetaQuest 3S.…

The Good Stuff
Just so many benefits. I’m trying really hard to love my body and gut right now. This is the stuff. A quick protein boost too. In addition to diet, I have also started supplementing. I haven’t ever gotten into supplements besides a daily vitamin, but I’ve added: Quercetin & Bromelain Rhodiola Calcium Citrate D3 Magnesium…

High Protein Anti-Inflammatory
Eating in a caloric deficit is a goal, but I can’t say that it’s helping with my energy levels. Eating out is going to be really difficult. I may have to take food with me when we’re out and about. My doctor said the diet is so strict that a lot of people only follow…

Saturday
Flushing is down this morning. Yesterday I had red flushing on my neck and under my chin pretty badly. I’ve started the Elimination Phase of the AIP per my doctor. (Autoimmune Protocol) It is incredibly strict. Grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, nightshade vegetables, eggs, and dairy are completely avoided as well as Tobacco, alcohol, coffee, all oils,…

Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why? Well, I live 10 miles from Pensacola Beach, so I will say beach, but I do love both. 🤍 I could adjust to either. I have very much acclimated to Florida climate though.. so cold temps feel colder than they used to. I hardly even break a…

What are your family’s top 3 favorite meals? My kids would say: 1.)Breakfast for Dinner- Biscuits, Bacon, Sausage, Grits and Eggs 2.)Ribeyes, Asparagus, Corn and Potatoes on the Grill 3.)Homemade Burgers, Hot Dogs and Fries (Coleslaw and Potato Salad for me!) For me it would be Gumbo, Tacos (of any kind) and Steaks.. but my…

Stuffed Cubanelle!
Cubanelle peppers are one of my favorites. I usually like to cut the top off and stuff them so I can egg wash them and fry them, but here’s my healthier take. Split them horizontally, remove seeds and fill with a few spoonfuls of cottage cheese, cream cheese and ranch seasoning. Cover with gluten-free breadcrumbs.…

Strange
I walked into my garage today and I noticed a box sitting out there. It was this Prismacolor set. I have no idea where it came from. I have tons of prismacolors, so I didn’t buy it. I have no idea, but I’m going to gift it to someone for Christmas. It did kinda give…

🤍🤍🤍
My biggest responsibility and most important job. Gage woke up so grumpy today. 😄 He reminds me a lot of my brother sometimes. He’s sweeter than Jay was at that age, but he’s got a little bit of a pessimistic way about him. I can see that he struggles with it. That’s okay, he is…

Low Histamine Meals
A few meals I’ve had over the last 2 weeks. I know everyone’s tolerance is different and I’m finding out what mine are, but there are ways to do it and you can eat really well! I already feel better by just lowering the amount of processed food I’m eating. Real food just feels better.…

Making Changes
Switching a few things to lower my histamine and just make better choices. I’m officially down 14 lbs since last Saturday which is wild. I’m all about losing weight so I’m glad for that, but I’m thinking inflammation and water was a lot of it, but regardless of if this continues to be an issue…

Yummm
So far I’m not minding this low histamine stuff. I love oatmeal with maple syrup and blueberries. I took a nap early and Gary had made me grilled lemon pepper chicken thighs too. I married the perfect man. 🤍

What book are you reading right now? My Bible and Philosophical Thoughts by C.S. Lewis. I truly believe that any negative thinking or battlefields in our minds can be conquered by 4 things: 1. The Bible 2. Prayer 3. A C.S. Lewis Book 4. ANY Billy Graham Classic Sermon Great Books I’ve read recently: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️…

Whew!
This past week has been heavy. A very tragic death in the family from a very public figure. My poor cousin Ashleigh has been through so much in her young life. She lost her first husband in a tragic accident too, so I cannot even imagine. I also had a sweet friend get a terrible…

Hawaiian Sourdough Rolls!

Daily Writing Prompt
What was your favorite subject in school? Hmmm… I can’t really choose just one.. I guess History or Geography. I think it varied year to year depending on the teacher sometimes. I think the funnest class I ever had was Spanish. I can’t say that I can speak much more than a few words and…

Newks Favorite Salad
Chicken, mixed greens, Bleu Cheese, grapes, pecans, artichoke hearts, dried cranberries and croutons with Sherry Vinaigrette dressing, and of course a sweet tea. Delicious!😋

I don’t. 🤷🏼♀️
How do you manage screen time for yourself? I don’t really… I’m a fairly productive person so I usually can balance it. I have times I’m lazy and I stay on my phone too long, but I don’t generally have to manage myself. Yesterday I was online a LOT, but I was checking the election…

Breakfast 🩵
I know no one cares what people eat but I make better choices when I document and take accountability. I’m really bad about skipping breakfast, but I also know my metabolism loves it when I start my morning with some good protein and nutrients. I mashed one whole avocado with a drizzle of olive oil,…

Here we go…
The election is here. I felt kind of sick about it today, but I took my emotions and worry to God and laid them at his feet. I know that no matter what happens; Jesus is King! 👑 OUR KING IS SEATED. HE’S NOT FRANTICALLY PACING. HE’S NOT ANXIOUS OR NERVOUS. HE’S NOT UNSETTLED OR…

Nope. Never.
God will never EVER send you anything that is attached to, or creates confusion. That’s always my red flag. 🚩 If it feels chaotic or confusing, it is not for me and certainly not from God. I live strongly by that and learned it the hard way. People, business deals, friendships, places, or anything… if…

SOTD!
Basic converse slip on 🙂 I like my shorelines better but they’re really dirty. Shorelines only have 4 holes and they stretch more. The toe is also slightly rounder. I’m a converse junkie, but I only wear certain styles. Love them. 🤍

Maybe I’m just old, but this newer generation of men kind of gross me out sometimes. I know you can’t generalize to that degree, so let me be specific… Men that act and appear tough on the exterior, but they like their girlfriends and wives to be submissive providers. They want to be treated as…

Loving this article in Elle about my favorite journalist. Follow her on IG @ houseinhabit I subscribe to her Substack and she always has the political inside scoop!

What’s something you believe everyone should know. I think everybody should have a basic understanding of government and politics. We live in times where they prefer you to be unaware of what’s happening. They like you to be asleep and behave like sheep. If you have children, you should very much care about what is…

Caramel Apple Latte and cookies for the littles. 🤍 I had a quick salad for lunch with my cute husband and then we ran through Starbucks for after school treats.. The days go so quick now that Gary gets off at 3 everyday. He picks up the kids since it’s on his way, so that…
