They're almost 3....really?

So it's hitting me that in just a few short months my BABIES will be 3. What the heck?!

Our plans are to have their party at Jump N' Land in McKinney, if you haven't been there, you're missing it. We always have such a good time. BUT we also might just have something at the house and rent a big jumpy thingy from them. I just don't know yet. I know I do have some time but I'm such a planner...ha ha.

They're already changing SO much. It feels like overnight we've developed full vocabulary. They'll say something and you almost go - where did you pick that up? HA HA. I called to Raina the other day and heard her say, "Ok Momma, I'm on my way". TOO CUTE! During the holidays when we'd be driving at night, Brody would see Christmas lights and point them out to all of us, "There they are....over there". I also here, "C'mon Naina....mon!" Ha ha. AND...everything is just VERY funny now. They are constantly cracking each other up which in returns makes me laugh.

We're still saying "Naina" and "Bubby". I'll sit with Raina and go through all the family members. "Momma, Daddy, Mimi, Nana"....she repeats me perfectly. I'll get to Brody and EVERYTIME she says "BUBBA!". Brody is working on his R's and I have gotten him to say Raina...but Naina is easier and a little part of me loves it. It's awful cute.

I know babies are such little sponges and that shows more and more everyday. We're singing along to songs, saying lines with their favorite movies (Cars, Mermaid), their conversations with each other CRACK me up. We got them their trikes for Christmas and they refused to try to push the pedals. About a days worth of work and we are pedaling fools!

Brody's actually eating WAY better now. Granted it's not a huge selection but at least he eats what I give him. He is trying a few new things, bread being one of them. He asked for a banana yesterday and took a few big bites off of it and was done. He's also totally digging on apples here lately. Wants it whole, wants to sit in Daddy's chair and eat it. Hey whatever floats your boat son :)

If you don't have a baby that is a finicky eater - you just have no idea what it's like. It makes you worry and it aggravates you. There's days I just don't fight it - there's days I fight it big time. "just 1 bite"....ugh!

Raina of course....eats everything..... :) I've yet to find anything she won't. Seriously. she'll eat onion rings ( I HATE onions ), she LOVES chips and salsa - well anything spicy, any veggie, any fruit...meat of all kinds. She has not EVER turned her nose up on anything.

I love them so much....and they're almost 3. I still can't believe that!!

Goals for 2020

So after thinking through this for a while, I've decided to bring this back into my life.  I love to write, I love to express myself and share recipes.  SO...this blog may not always look pretty...it might get messy, because that's life, and I'm too old to pretend it's not.   Goals for 2020: To continue to search for what feeds my soul and not harms it. I'm going to keep up with my health goals and make it another year of weight maintenance.  Walking starts again.  Not about needing to lose, I like everything a bit tighter.  So there you go.  I'm not athletic, I do not LIKE working out.  But I do like walking because of the moment to take a breath and enjoy being outside and listening to good music 💓 I wanted to commit to living my truth...if I say be kind...that means I have to drop some guards and also do just that.  There's been a couple relationships over the years that I wanted to circle back to this year.  Both hav...

Award Winning Salsa

Well…it won an award in my family 🤣 This blog has seen MANY salsa recipes. I LOVE salsa. I’m always trying to perfect my recipe so I tried some different things yesterday and BAM….I mean wowza BAM!!!! Jayme’s Award Winning 😉 Salsa 2lbs Tomatillo, husked and washed and halved 2 Jalapeño, washed, halved, seeded if you’re a wuss.  1 Serrano, washed, remove stem 1 red onion, quartered 1 Lg Tomato 1 Bunch Cilantro 2 Tbs minced garlic  Salt  On a large baking sheet lay out your tomatillos, peppers and onion. Cover the bottom of the pan Chicken stock or water. I also drizzled a little olive oil.  Put in a 350 oven for 75-90 minutes.  Let cool down a bit and throw everything in a food processor.  Holy. Moly. Very restaurant like. Maybe a Cantina Laredo or Haciendas Ranch feel to it. So. Good.  I like it warm so when I go to get it out of the fridge, I just throw in the microwave for a sec.  SO good!

Perpetual diets and a soul change....

I feel like all my life, I've been on a perpetual diet.  Seriously.  Pretty much every day of my life has been a choice.  Some days/months/years I do great.  Others....not so much. I've never been one of those girls.  You know...the ones that always just pulled it off.  Looks, weight, clothes.  Nope.  That is not me.  I've also always had skinny friends.  They ate the same things as me...but I'd notice on me and never on them.  I think I've always aspired in some way to be each of them.  Hell, maybe they keep me in check so I don't ever let myself go to much?  That's some deep thinking stuff! What a funny life.  Then, I had my jaw surgery.  Long recovery.  Long, hard, painful recovery.  I think I just gave myself a pass for the last couple of years.  Because I can tell you...I hadn't been too worried about my weight since then. So.  I had a picture taken of me on August 17th.  As ...
