Lately

I must admit, I haven't really been loving life lately. I mean, I do love my life, but I've been feeling a little restless. It's time for a change, and it just isn't going to happen without getting out of this funk! It's Friday, and I'll be without my baby girl this weekend, getting some much needed me time. So, it's about time I snap out of it. Therefore, I'm reflecting on what I've been loving lately.

For starters, I LOVE sleeping diagonally across the bed.

I love not being expected to cook every night

 

Baby Bear finds cereal to be perfectly acceptable for dinner and I second that notion!

THIS shirt

Just thinking about this next one made me laugh out loud.

There's been lots of laughing these days, and for that, I'm truly grateful to everyone that contributes to making me smile and laugh daily. 

Silly times with my one and only

Thanks to my sis in law, this company

If you need a good laugh, you must go see The Duff. I went with the girls earlier this week and the laughter was non stop.

My Essential oils

If you would like to learn more on how these can help you, please contact me, or visit my website.

And of course, dreaming of summer. Who else is over this cold business?

I'm really looking forward to a social weekend, it feels good to be able to plan things and be on the go again!

Happy New Year

Although 2015 has started with a deeply broken heart, with no answers, and no explanations. I will not let it set the tone for my year. I'm just starting a new chapter in my life! I have a feeling only greatness will come from all of this for me and Baby Bear.  Sure, it may be tough, and the road ahead is uncertain. We're strong girls, and as long as we have each other, that's all that really matters.

I have learned some valuable lessons this year. I'm sure these lessons will be posted eventually, just not today. This year I'm going to focus on what makes us happy, my baby girl and me. We're going to enjoy the little things in life more, we're going to get out more and enjoy the great outdoors and be more active, like we used to be.

On a side note I have not taken any of my RA medication in two months and have not been in a tremendous amount of pain, and no flare ups. I have my appointment later this month and cannot wait to see my results. Fingers crossed all is well, because I feel well. Maybe even hoping for remission?

This year will be a complete adventure for sure, and I hope to have you all along for the bumpy ride to come.

I wish you all the best in 2015

Things You May Not Know...

I have seen so many posts circulating as status updates on facebook lately that I have decided to join, only in a different way. The gist is that someone posts things you may not know about them, people like the status and they give you a number. Knowing my friends they would pick something like 100, so I will pick my own number, and let you guys know some things that not everyone may necessarily know about me.

I am a devoted Christian and a firm believer in God. He is my savior.

I was in an extremely abusive relationship for several years.

I cannot stand cinnamon as in cinnamon gum, cinnamon candles, cinnamon drinks. Those all make me gag.

I don't drink alcohol of any kind anymore

I lost my big brother April 16, 2012

Three letters: O C D

Patience is one of my weaknesses because I really do not have much

I always said I never wanted a child when I was younger.I still stood by that until I found out I was pregnant. God had other plans. A funny God he is! Baby Bear saved me, and herself. I did not save myself, and I do not know if I would have, if it weren't for her. See how God works?

I am a hopeless romantic.

I absolutely love horror flicks.

I speak without thinking. I say what I mean, and mean what I say. I stand up for what is right, and if that is wrong, you are in the wrong place and we just can't be friends. A real friend is going to tell it like it is. I'm not the friend that is going to sugarcoat your $#it for you and blow sunshine up your bum. You can find one of those somewhere else; it just isn't here.

When I was little, I envisioned hundreds of little people were under the bathtub and that they would all work together to make the bath run, with their tiny buckets catching the drain water and passing them all to the top to make it come out of the faucet. Yes, the same little people lived in the walls and made my lights and fan work too.

I used to twist the legs on all of my little brother's GIJoe's, and always be surprised when the rubber band broke that held them to the torso broke. Every.single.time

I still have hopes for a puppy as a Christmas gift someday (preferably a rottweiler), and a car (not both at the same time) I would love to walk outside and see a brand new car with a big red bow on it. Or open up a box and have a puppy come stumbling out.

So there you have it. There are some tidbits you may not know about me.
