6 Years


Most of you that follow the blog or know me at all know that every year on August 25th I celebrate :)

It what was a very long, hard and emotional battle to get pregnant. It pushes you to the very brink of breaking...physically, emotionally and spiritually. But we did it. Finally....we got a positive sign.

I can look back now and see God's PERFECT timing. I can see his Hand ALL OVER that situation. But it was hard when we were in it to trust. The Lord knew that I had lots of things to "get". I had some growing to do, I had some maturing to do. At the time...I didn't think I'd need to...boy howdy was I wrong.

God knew at 28, I could handle two babies crying at once, the demands that followed me day in and day out by myself. He was standing right there with me on the day I lost it and cried out....I was utterly exhausted, I was doing it on my own (Michael was studying for his BIG P.E. test day and night) and I was beyond tired. I cried out, Lord...you know I can handle this, I know I can too because you gave me these gifts....but right now...I just need to feel your with me.

Well of course he was...DUH! But do you have those moments...just a give me a sign type moments. Well he did, and he's continued to do so when I seem to be faltering. It seems that each and every time I get overwhelmed, I get something to just say...chill babe...I got this! :) God knew on August 25, 2005 ... that was the PERFECT day to see a positive sign.


I will never ever forget that morning, I will never EVER forget Michael's face. I will always celebrate this day, even it's just me, a quiet house and a cup of coffee ;)

So sweet. I think it's great that you celebrate that day! So many people take those positive test for granted!I often feel alone when it comes fertility issues (especially when there is a new facebook pregnancy almost almost every day!), but I am encouraged by others stories. And I know that it is God's perfect time, but the waiting is really hard!

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...

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 ...
