So often when I see pictures of myself I don’t see the moment of why I took that picture. I don’t enjoy it. I only see how far I still have to go on my weightloss journey. I let all those limiting beliefs creep in. Today I stepped so far out of my comfort zone I let a 4 year old little boy pick out my outfit. I admit I was pretty scared when he opened my closet and asked that I wear something from there. You see there are clothes that don’t quite fit me they are a little...

I had this great thought out post I had planned to share with you today, however I was finishing up so many other things I had been procrastinating and I just never got the chance to crunch the numbers for it. Maybe Friday I bet you are on the edge of your seats waiting right? Anyway I know how much you miss me so I thought I’d share a few pictures from the past month! The Most Amazing thing that has happened in the last 30 days is I became a Grandmother! Elise Jessie was born on June 19. I...

Rory and Finn had so much fun at the zoo it was all they talked about. Steve was coming up for the weekend from Key West and I mentioned that maybe the following day we could all go to the zoo.

Then we rented one of those pedal car...

Isn’t she cute? I have to admit this is the first...

The planning for this party seemed to start forever ago! I asked Rory what kind of birthday he wanted this year and he excitedly told me a rainbow and unicorn party. I think easy enough and plan on a few decorations and to make the same strawberry cupcakes (note: I alter the recipe to have 1c pamela’s gf pancake & baking flour & 1/2c pamela’s gf bread flour) I made him last year because they were delicious. Then one day I start thinking about the decorations I saw on Facebook a while back of OhMeaghan’s Rainbow + Rollerskate party and dropped her...
