Salt water= good stuff. We spent a good hour or so soaking last night. I love the way my skin feels when we first add salt. My hair – not so much.

Yes!
I got our tickets for Norah’s birthday 🤍🤍 She loves Coldplay and Imagine Dragons, so it’s perfect. There’s a few tributes they play through the next month but she’s not into Taylor Swift (at all) or Queen. It should be relaxing and beautiful. Gage took a trip to see the symphony there with his class…

I asked Gary to bring me a wrench tighten a barstool.

Fall Clean!!!!
Ok NOW I’m ready to start putting out some fall decorations. I wanted to deep clean everything first. Dusting, ceiling fans, Baseboards, windows, and even the walls got a little love (kids fingerprints). I threw a lot of stuff away today too. I’ll have to take pictures of my linen closet tomorrow. It’s so organized…

grace & stella
I love these. I’ve tried pretty much every kind of eye patches they make because I have such bad dark circles under my eyes (I’ve had them since I was a kid). I can’t tell that anything really helps that much, so I’m never consistent with it, but these feel so hydrating that I actually…

Reminder
People should not forget that before June, the same Democratic Party who crowned Comrade Kamala as their future Queen felt that a senile and demented Joe Biden was preferable to her Marxist sympathies and authoritarian affections. She is still Marxist. She is still authoritarian. She is still graceless. She has never won a single Presidential…

Score!!
Look what I just found in GB! Perfect for our office space 🙂 And she only wants $180 for the pair! 😮😍 Matches our desks perfectly.

Girl Dinner 🍽️
I love cooking for people, but I very rarely will cook something for myself. My Mama would always say, “Let’s Graze tonight.” Which meant, let’s just pull out leftovers, cheese, fruit, snacks, crackers and just graze. Basically like charcuterie. It’s a good way to use fruits and veggies that are going bad soon too. So…

🐐🐮
We slept in a little after the kids got to school this morning. That was soooo nice! Our snuggling and talking turned into an hour hard nap. That’s always the best sleep! Then we got up and took a quick trip out to a local farm in Jay. We decided to invest in buying 1/2…

Sunday Dinner :)
Steak with crumbled Gorgonzola, hasselback potatoes, and a delicious peach and raspberry cinnamon crumble with pastry roses.

Sunday!
Always a good sermon but we watched it from bed today. We all have a really bad cold. My favorite quote today was: “Show me your closest friend and I’ll show you your future.” We talk to our kids a LOT about the company they keep, so that rang loudly in my ears. While today’s…

I’m not ready.
I was going to decorate for fall today, but… I don’t really wanna. I’m probably going to be super minimal this year with decorating. Gary likes most things fall, but he absolutely hates Halloween. He won’t even let the kids have anything with skulls on them. Gage wanted a jacket that had a skull on…

Kombucha
Gary picked up several kinds of Kombucha for us to try. I don’t hate it. We tried the Grapefruit and Tangerine today. He loves grapefruit, so he liked it more than I did. I like eating grapefruit, but maybe not as much as a drink. It’s a lot of probiotics though, so I’m down. I’ll…

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I love RFK Jr so much, and that speech he just gave is exactly why I do. I love Vance too, but this could’ve been the best President/VP duo in history. I’m just glad he’s endorsing Ttrump and can be used to help get our country back if Trump is elected. He’s pretty much said…

Coconut Chicken Curry
This is a regular meal here in our house and it’s almost that time of year that we can enjoy warm comfort food. Ingredients for Curry: 1 cooked deboned rotisserie chicken 8-10 sliced sweet peppers (I use one bag) 1 diced yellow onion 2 cans of unsweetened coconut cream 1 can of condensed Sweetened coconut…

That’s a good boy and a good girl.

It’s just as important as combating fear. Maybe more. You’ve gotta get so anchored in life and your faith, that other people’s chaos doesn’t bother you. You’ve gotta be so anchored that this insane world doesn’t affect your day to day life. 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍

Day Cruising
Checking out the bay levels and riding around the hood. We’re waiting to pick up Miss Harper. This guy is off until Monday. 🤍

Ok ok..
I’m sorry for all the long winded personal posts. Actually, I don’t really know why I’m apologizing, it’s my blog. If you don’t want to read it, you are not forced to be here. ☺️ I love to look back and see posts about life and see how much things have changed. This morning there…

Dammit Phil
I can’t believe I have to even say this in response to the following post, but I was joking. (No I didn’t actually google it. I mean I did, but only to take a ridiculous screenshot to reply to his ridiculous question). 🙄 It’s called joking, which is often followed up with bantering. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ Me…

Good Stuff!
I am so impressed with Gary’s new job. He came home with a gorgeous pair of Carhartt boots, a Carhartt Fire Resistant winter coat and they gave him a THOUSAND dollar voucher for new office casual work clothes. (He gets that twice a year). They even buy his socks and underwear. 😳 He’ll get another…

My honey surprised me with these lovelies. I wasn’t expecting him home until this afternoon. They finished up his tour and training early. 🤍

Oh my goodness 😍
Gary’s first day of work. They grow up so fast don’t they. lol All jokes aside, I adore him and I’m so happy for him. His supervisor told him today “No more breaking your back for a paycheck. You’re gonna love it here, buddy.” As a wife, nothing could please me more. No more working…

Dark colored Hooch?
Keep or Toss? You’ll get a million different responses to this, but I’m gonna say no. I’ve yet to have a starter go bad, BUT.. I recently tried stirring that thick hooch back into one of my mini starter jars (it was stored in the fridge for 3 weeks) and it took me 4 days…

Goodbye 👋🏼
Finally getting rid of these bins in the kids closets! They served a good purpose for a long time but good riddance. I hate cleaning them out. We have a guy coming Tuesday to put some built in shelves in the kids closets and give us an estimate on a TV cabinet for the sunroom.…

Summer Skies Starbucks
Mr. Alcina picked this up for me on his way home and I give it a 5/10. I’m kinda picky about boba tea. It was also 9$ and that’s ridiculous. I prefer to buy tapioca pearls and add them to my matcha and almond/coconut milk. This is way too sweet. I ended up giving it…

🤍 Sunday
We had such a wonderful Sermon today. We’re studying the book of James and I really like how no-nonsense and straight forward it is. It’s not always the most comfortable to read, but it also reminds us that when we face stress or frustration of any kind, it can be used to help us grow…

Go Crazy 🤣 Wheat vs. Sourdough
Those of you who are in my Florida Sourdough group, this hopefully helps clear up that crazy argument. 🤣 I didn’t comment but I deleted the thread when she got belligerent and I booted her. 🤣 Y’all went off though. Anyway, this is similar to what was trying to be conveyed. “Sourdough bread has similar nutrients to…

Attention Sourdough Ladies!!!
This is a 21 GALLON garbage bin that has touchless infrared auto open and close, and it is awesome. No more trying to get my can open with the awkward foot pedal or trying to adjust my bags with sourdough all over my hands. I’ve never been this excited about a trash can. 🤣🤣 It…

Men in the Kitchen
My husband has many lines he uses on me, and I feel like a lot of y’all can relate. 🤣 I don’t know what it is, but he can not and will not leave me alone when I’m cooking. 🤪 I’ll have to add to this list as time goes on, but here’s some of…

My child might end up being a dermatologist. She loves popping pimples. She’s also shaves her Dad’s back. 🥴 I hate messing with peoples bumps, so she does NOT get that from me. 🤮

TGIF
Happy Weekend! We took a ride out to the beach to enjoy this break in high temps and had a wonderful lunch on the water! We just stayed a few hours and then we headed back to pick up the kiddos. We have company coming for the weekend and the weather couldn’t be more beautiful!…

I had to…
I got me a pair of these cuties. Yes they’re kids, but I can wear a Kids 5. I ordered them for Norah and she LOVES them. I tried them on yesterday but they were obviously too small, but I loved how soft they are… (I absolutely love the way hey dudes feel- I just…

I’m definitely in my soft era and I love it. 🤍🤍🤍

What a time…
I have no desire to figure people out anymore or why they think the way they do or continue to do the things they do. We’re all living in this insane world and I don’t have time to partake in people’s emotional rollercoasters, midlife crises or manic episodes fueled by politics, religion, marital issues, stress,…
