Norah Harper just sent me her Birthday wish list. My child wants to dress like a Roblox character. I mean, she wouldnt be able to get through a metal detector with these outfits. 😂🫣 I keep telling her that humans aren’t rectangles, but she’s convinced pixel fashion is all the rage. I know my Mama…

Ingredients: Bake autumn squash in oven (seeds removed cut in half) for 35-40 minutes and set aside to cool. In stick or soup pot, drizzle olive oil, add onions and sauté until clear. Add pumpkin, squash, and all other seasonings. Stir in chicken stock, cream cheese and maple syrup. Mash up squash and allow to…

I find it strange that Atheists often pour more passion into denying God than some Christians put into following him. If you truly don’t believe he exists, why waste so much time and energy fighting him? You don’t see people devoting their lives to disproving Bigfoot, dragons, or fairytales. But when it comes to God,…

I love, love, love this time of year! Football, good food, soup nights, fall candles, beginning to decorate and cooler nights !!! All the meanies can sulk while we watch our favorite teams and eat all the chicken wings. 😂

Before bed last night I felt my mind stirring. I asked God to send me a word. To reveal to he what I needed to feel peace and sleep. Luke 6. The core of Christianity and the thing I battle with. Forgiveness. If I’m honest, loving my enemies is the hardest part of following Jesus…

Did anyone shop Bath & Body Works half off candle sale with the new Fall scents? I picked up 4 this year. I still have a few pumpkin candles from last year, but I decided to try these. I got 2 of the Cinnamon Pinecone because that sounds lovely! I hope I picked good ones.…

Soooo … my doctor called me this morning to check on me because I was in so much pain yesterday. She thinks it’s possible that I have two very different things going on. She thinks my leg pain could be a separate issue from my back (from the same injury) based on the burning sensations…

Gary made me the best Anti-Inflammatory smoothie before work. 🙌🏼 Delish!!! No supplements or protein. I’m doing a lot of that at lunchtime now because it feels better to my stomach.

Congrats to Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift. Who else’s phone scared the crap out of them yesterday ?? When I was getting my X-rays of my lumbar, and the doctor had hopped out to let me put my my bra back on and get my shoes on etc . My phone started blowing UP!!! I…

Well, I made it to the doctors office in one piece. It was no small feat. Being in the truck was excruciating, but I got there. Getting ready was the hard part. Gary had to dress me and get me to the truck. It was a long morning and thank goodness for comfy dresses that…

Turmeric is good for SO many things, but it’s really good for your nervous system and repairing nerve damage. Highly, highly recommended. I can already tell a difference after a week.

My favorite thing at Sam’s is this Berry Granola Salad with Poppyseed Dressing. It’s spinach, strawberries, blueberries, walnuts, granola and Feta. Grab a lb. of their Roquefort Blue Cheese to crumble on top and it’s soooooo good!

Notice she also said his/her wishes and didnt add all the other pronouns 😂 Ohhhhh my… woke America is crazy. I’m shocked she doesn’t have bright red or blue hair and multiple face piercings. Totally shocked. 😂 She’ll morph..

Every year the kids get sick in the first few weeks. Gage went down first. Bless him… he knew he was getting sick, but he had his first quiz this morning, so he insisted on going. Right after that class, he texted me and asked us to pick him up, so Gary went to get…

Gary bought himself some new shoes today, so he picked me up a matching pair. He got the reverse, black with a white logo. 😍 I don’t think he realized that I just bought tennis shoes, but that’s okay. 🤫 They fit over my brace really well and gave better arch support than the ones…

I had a few days this past week that I was hurting so bad I couldn’t even function. Back pain is brutal and the healing is hard because it centralizes and gets worse before it gets better. What I initially thought was a torn muscle in my leg has revealed itself to be sciatica that’s…

Enjoying the last of our garden tomatoes with BelGioioso Fresh Mozzarella, and Roland Original Balsamic Glaze. I skipped the oil. I have so much sweet basil that it’s overflowing everywhere outside. Kinda hard to see in my orange container 😂 It’s from a Whataburger salad, and I keep them because the lids are so solid…

I’d do everything I could to keep my Dad from ever drinking, I’d give my Mother so much affection and help her as much as I could, I’d try to be a less annoying little sister and I’d go find my husband as quick as I could so we could have all those years together🤍🤍🤍

I had these same shoes in my early 20’s. They aren’t AS comfortt as the Gazelles, but you can’t hardly find Gazelles in white. Love them, and they’re on sale at Dicks.

This was what our word was centered on today. Not much to elaborate on. Happy Sunday. 🤍

Tonight I was enjoying my friend Brad playing guitar on YouTube live and the trolls started rolling in.. always with the whole thing about Christians being hypocrites. It’s such a boring argument. First off, trying to group all Christian’s together and form an opinion on generalizations is no better than grouping all people together based…

When in FL! Hit up the taco truck!

I ordered a size up bc I want them a little baggy. They are sooooooo perfect!! Grab them!

So much going on this week!! Despite my not being able to move much, life never stops.We have contractors here today so I’m just hibernating in my room. I’m about to do a quick Bible study and find something to binge on Netflix or prime for the next day or two. This is the week…

Mine has been more productive than the last several weeks. Gary and the kids got the house straight and ran the mop. Everything is fresh and clean! Happy Mama. I also got in the pool earlier and tried some PT stuff I found yesterday (thank you, Jean!!) and it felt so awesome! I’m going to…

It smells SO good in here. 😍 Chicken Pot Pie and a delicious Chantilly Cake. I just got off of an 18 hr fast! I’m STARVED!! This was exactly what I wanted.
