Brody

How cute is this kid? I mean REALLY he's just stinkin' adorable! The above picture was taken at a play date at some twin friends of ours - he had gotten into the costumes :)

I just wanted to report on Brody boy. This has not been a fun year for him so far, with all this eating regular food nonsense and all, but I'm ECSTATIC to report that no only am I winning the battle....the battle is getting easier! The food is going down in a more timelier fashion and more quantity is going in also.

He had dropped to 32 lbs after his surgery...32 for a 4 almost 5 year old is not the greatest number to be at....we knew this....but I'm happy to say that since November....he's put on 4 pounds and is now at 36....wha?!?!?

So far from what I've observed...he likes seafood. He doesn't complain as much on shrimp / fish dishes. He's ok with meat also...the roast wasn't too bad to get down but don't think he's a fan of ground meat. He'll eat some pizza if you scrap everything of and just give him the crust.....baby steps people ;)

Don't get me wrong, every night at dinner is a showdown at the Doggett Corral to explain to him that he IS in fact going to eat and of course there's whining and tears....I'm waiting patiently for the day that stops.... :| BUT we're getting there. I really think he's getting it AND he's eagerly waiting to get out of his 5 point harness and into his big boy booster seat / belt just like Raina.

baby steps and patience.....baby steps and patience....... :)


AND....also to report....since surgery his speech has improved leaps and bounds. He's clearer and more vocal. I think school has improved a bit, he's sleeping through the night soundly....no more gasps for air and snoring. All in all....Brody boy is on his way....woo hoo!!!!

He's doing awesome...in pictures I'd never guess he was so light. Lincoln is around 39 lbs. Brody looks so big to me:) Glad he is thriving!

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...

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 ...
