The world feels so heavy
Pray with me? Heavenly Father, In the midst of storms and sorrow, floods and loss, fear and uncertainty, we come to you with heavy hearts. We ask for your comfort and love to wrap around these families who have lost their precious children and loved ones, and we pray for your healing touch on every…

Mean Mom!
I’m the mean Mama today. Hey, sometimes you just have to be. I’ve got the kids doing lots of chores today, outside of their rooms. They aren’t complaining much, but Ive gotten a few eye rolls. 😜 I kicked my crutches today for a little bit and was able to get a good amount of…

What do you need to let go of, for the sake of harmony? My irritation over my husbands ex stalking our lives for the past 15 years. Analytics don’t lie. The last week it’s been a significant increase. Wow, shocker. I thought it was better (it didn’t stop but it WAS better), but of course…

If you aren’t married or you’re looking for love- pick someone who is always your hype man. In any and every situation!! It will get you over bad days, moods and irrelevant stuff so quickly!! Be that for him too. Be the “who cares, you’ve got me!” “Life’s good, who cares what they think” “Life’s…

Norah Harper said it’s the best thing she has ever eaten before. 🤍 I made it with ghee and it’s fantastic!!

Do y’all do the Freeze game with your family? We’ve done this for years and it’s so funny! Every once in a while I see ppl do it online and I’m sure that’s where we got it from, but it’s hilarious. Gary or I will scream FREEZE and everybody has to freeze right then and…

What is your favorite genre of music? I’m not sure I have one. I love 80’s music, but it’s an era, not a genre. I guess adult alternative or folk is what I’d say I listen to the most but I like almost every genre of music, other than sad suffering emo crap. I just…

Quick Check-in
All is good, we’ve just been busy. Gary had a wreck Thursday night on the way home from work and gave us a good scare. A lady plowed into the side of him going the wrong way on a one way street in downtown Pensacola. Thankfully they’re both ok. I’m still hobbling on crutches and…
-
Beef & Cheese Casserole
Well, it ain’t pretty but it’s soooo good. Gary is really enjoying our Echo Show bc he can call me on my phone and we can cook together and it displays the recipe for him (my leg is still healing so I’m up for VERY limited amounts of time). Here’s a great comfort classic that…

Kize Bars 10/10
100% buying these from now on. They’re so good, and SO filling.

What’s your definition of romantic? This may be weird but one of my favorite things (that is in no way a romantic gesture) but I just love it and how it makes me feel, is when I hear my husband say “Let me ask Jenny what she thinks” or “Yeah, let me run it by…

The BEST
If you wear readers and you have a Sam’s Club, these are the absolute best reading glasses EVER. The styles and colors are always changing, but they are soooo crystal clear and clean so easily. Love them! I grab a box a few times a year.

But he does love us ALL.
Saying “Jesus loves You” is a true statement, but that is not the gospel. Imagine walking up to a group of death row inmates and saying, “Look, the Judge really loves you.” That’s what we do when we tell people about God’s love without helping them understand the seriousness of sin. The reality is even…

Whoooo Baby!
What a start to this week. 🤣 AC is on its last leg, and the breaker in the living room kept popping. Narrowed the breaker down to the ceiling fan. It must have a faulty wire. Gary tried reinstalling it, and it tripped again. 🙄 Thankfully in addition to homeowners insurance, we have Choice Warranty…

He’s coming back. 🤍
My husband sent me a text a little while ago that just said “You can feel the world preparing. He’s coming back, Jen.” I believe he is too. Whatever you are going through.. no matter how hard… mental illness, anxiety, lust, fear, illness….What God wants to show you and what he wants to do in…

What’s your biggest flex in life? Not marrying a loser. 🤣

Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood? Meatloaf and homemade mashed potatoes. (my Mom’s AMAZING recipe) She made it a lot since it was my Dad’s favorite, and it’s my husbands favorite now too. It’s made with a sweet sauce, and it’s soooo yummy.

Laura Geller
I am in L🤍VE with this Laura Geller Baked kit. My skin is 48 years old, so I try not to wear much makeup (as I think it ages people), but I love this kit sooo much. This is without the foundation, but I did purchase foundation,and it is nice, but it’s pretty full coverage,…

Who is your favorite historical figure? Can I name 2? Jesus Christ- no explanation needed. Belle Boyd – She was a very brave and wild spy during the civil war with lots of sass and smarts. She used her charm and connections to start spying for the Confederacy. She used her Southern drawl to woo…
-
What is a band you once loved but can’t listen to anymore? Elliott Smith, Ben Folds and The Counting Crows. I mean I can.. but it’s painful. ❤️🩹 I’ll always love Elliott Smith though. I always wanted to marry a boy with the last name Smith so I could have his last name. My AOL…

Congrats to our sweet niece, Dakota! She graduated Police Camp today! Love seeing these kids go after their dreams!

Write about your first crush. Hard pass. 🙄🤣 Sorry, I’m kidding, but I’m not real big on reminiscing about past romances. I’ll be brief – I was crazy about him all through high school. He was very handsome and popular and I thought I loved him. He left for college and I moved to La.…
-
What countries do you want to visit? No thanks. 🤣 I mean, in a perfect world I would love to, but in these weird times travel seems scary and risky. But when the kids are older, I’d consider going out of the US. I would like to visit my cousin Mandy’s hotel in Bocas del…

Daddy’s Girl!
Gary took Norah Harper with him to Target to pick up our protein powder. It’s now turned into a shopping trip. He called me like 4 times to ask me what size she should get in different shorts/skirts etc.. It just tickles me bc he told her before they left that it isn’t a shopping…
-
Who do you spend the most time with and why? My husband and I love it! He just makes me happy and makes me feel safe and loved. We’ve somehow managed to be together almost 15 years and we still really like each other..🤣 I think a big reason for that is we’re both natural…

Happy Father’s Day
Today we are celebrating this precious soul. I picked this photo because it shows his necklace we got him for Father’s day. It’s an iron cross I found at Zales and it’s exactly what he’s been wanting. We gave it to him Friday, and we also got him a few t-shirts and some undies so…

Happy Friday 🤍
It’s a stormy night so we’re enjoying Chicken Pot Pie and a movie marathon. Gary’s off for 6 days! 🤍🙌🏼 It smells soooo good in here!

Good Grief
It hurts my heart so bad to see people grieving. It’s something I think I’ve become pretty good at or at least extremely familiar with. I watched a little argument (if you could even call it that) take place on Facebook this morning between two friends and brought a lot of memories flooding back. I…

What are you passionate about? Motherhood, being a wife, my faith, home making, cooking, politics| my beliefs, and being able to be creative in some capacity (cooking, painting, gardening, decorating etc).

What’s the one luxury you can’t live without? AC and ours is probably about to go out any day now. It’s the original when the house was built. We keep it pretty cold in here, and it’s Florida, so it’s sure been a good one!! Trane ac’s are the best!!!!

He doesn’t want us to be comfortable, he’s asking us to come out of the boat, like Peter. Trust him.

UPS is the worst.
What’s the point of even doing a 2 day with UPS??? They shouldn’t be able to charge you extra for quick shipping if it doesn’t make a difference. It’s not expedited any faster, so why are the able to offer that? I got Gary and I the new Apple Watches, and I paid extra to…

Monday, Monday
Good Morning. Sitting down to unwind a little. This past week was fast and furious. I sure hope summer slows down a little. It’s been a weird week. An old friend of mine, is considered “missing” but everyone is saying that he jumped off the Audubon Bridge last week. I’ve had the hardest time processing…

Just my 2 cents
I personally think this beef between Trump and Elon it’s a PSYOP. That’s my gut feeling.

Ahhh Summer.
I really do love the sunshine and summer. There’s just something about this season that helps me slow down and breathe a little deeper. The longer days, the warm breeze, being outside more… it all just feels good for the soul. I’m barefoot more often, my skin feels so good in the sun… I eat…

Love it!
We finally moved our table outside so we can use the fire pit without it getting so warm, and Gary got me this great sofa sectional for my birthday. I love it so much. 🤍
