whoa.....

It's been a while since I hit the ol' blog.... :/

I have a MAJOR Christmas project going on that is taking every ounce of days off and spare time I have.  ....but it's going to be gooooood :)

Work has been constant...which is good.  It seems we get through "this" and move right on to "that".  I like that. 

MD has been working and traveling a lot.  So spending time with him has been crucial for all of us. 

MD and I got a chance to go to the Cowboy game a couple weeks back and it was AMAZING!  I've been to the stadium before, but not for a Cowboy game.  Very cool and we had the BEST seats and the BEST company :)

Brody's Fall baseball season just ended....thank the Lord!  HA!  It turned out to be such a trial for us.  But onto spring.  We'll see how that goes.  :)

Raina Raina Bo Baina has been doing great in gymnastics.  She really loves it.  We'll do it until she's ready to stop I suppose.  Personally....I think the girl needs to be in softball...she played off the machine the other night with Brody and was hitting the snot out of the ball every time!  Girl's got a gift!  ;)


I'm just hanging on.  I've had some weird health stuff pop up.  Anxiety I believe is the major culprit.  It just got the best of me.  Thankfully....the earth shifted, the stars aligned and things calmed down again.  ....Either that or I'm coping better.  Stress and anxiety can REALLY do a number on you...ha!


As a Momma...I had to make some adjustments last week.  I had to make adjustments all the way around....with myself mainly.  I think this is an off-shoot of the stress/anxiety but I just got SO wound up.  Thankfully....I have the best kiddos and husband a girl could ask for.  They love me  no matter what....even when I'm not my best :)

We are going to the lake this weekend.  I can't wait.  A get away with my 3 favorite people and relaxation.  Naps, reading, fishing....yep....sounds good to me!

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 ...
