Our Evening....

We "enrolled" the kids in Kindergarten last night. Big night!!! I was 100% prepared...because those that know me know I'm a BIT anal about that type of stuff...ha! The ladies thought my coordination and color coded paper clips were great and one lady had her eye on me already for PTA....ha!

The kids got to sit the the 3 Kindergarten teachers and color while we got our part done. Both kiddos were TALKATIVE when we got back to them. They each liked DIFFERENT teachers (thank you Lord) so I think they'll be ok being separated come August.

Daddy let us celebrate the whole event with "chips and roll it ups (tortillas)" for dinner. We tried Desperado's over by the school and it was GOOOOOOOD! I'm a self appointed Mexican food critic and judge every place by the salsa. This salsa was SO good but wasn't the biggest fan of the chips.

SO we had a good night, we're preparing our house and our hearts for this weekend. I've asked the kids to keep the house / rooms as straight as they can so we can have a BIG birthday party ;) As we were getting ready to get them to bed, they both wanted to be held like they were "when they were little". We've been talking a lot lately about them being twins, being in Mommy's belly at the same time. Raina said, "Brody kept kicking me so much I HAD to get out of there"....HA!

These are fun times.....4 has been SUCH a good year for all of us. I'm a fan of 4 ;)

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 ...
