a very random post

After all this glorious rain (which I LOVE) we walked out front the other day and Raina made me take a picture....

"Look Mom....sun came out!"


who has the best Nana in the world?!
these 2 do!!! spoiled rotten ;)

we were going over our letters and names...but they insisted I sit and color with them


Auntie Jandy had a birthday and was in Mexico at the time....so as soon as she got back....
it was cake time yo!


Brody's been asking for a while now to be Spiderman for Halloween.
they put out the costumes in Wal-Mart and they had his size...so I got it. He doesn't like that he doesn't get to wear it for a while....but he loved trying it on and showing it off! (Raina is going to be Tinkerbell)



We went to JoAnn's Fabrics last night. I knew what I wanted to wear for Halloween...but for the last 2 years I wasn't finding it. So I figured I'd get a pattern and fabric and just make it. I decided just to look through what they had....everything was 40% + off and the one I found was on the bottom, like someone had stashed it. Well it's mine now!
yes....I'm a very stylish and feathery witch this year. Who says you can't be fashionably adorable at Halloween :) I will get fishnet hose and I'll wear my knee high boots - also last year I got eyelashes on sale that have red rhinestones at the base....YAY!

also got a pair of black sandals for $2 that had candy corns on them...CUTE! Michael also got his mask.
It's similar to this, but not....anyways he's got a Chuck Norris novelty shirt he wants to wear with it...SO funny! I adore him! :)

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 ...
