I have been gone for awhile. I know, I know. But I’m back with awesome news– WE. ARE. ENGAGED!!! B proposed on September 3rd on the field at Camden Yards in front of the kids, my best friend and her husband! I have to admit, I thought something was “up” when three weeks before he randomly… Continue reading Big News!!
A few months into our relationship, B went on a guy’s surfing trip in Nicaragua. He brought me back a beautiful, hand painted coffee mug depicting a sunset (my favorite time of day). At the time, he was living in a bachelor pad and just starting to get his life together post divorce. The… Continue reading Picking your Battles
Surround yourself with people that inspire you. When I say surround, that doesn’t just mean physically. Make sure that even the people you follow on social media are those you look up to, those you aspire to be like . So much of social media these days (especially recently!) is so negative, draining and toxic… Continue reading Who inspires you?
That’s a lot of SssSssss. You guys. We had the most delicious and healthy take on Spaghetti Bolognese last night. Seriously, it was fantastic. I could have licked the pan. Life has thrown us some serious curve balls lately and B and I have both been stressed to the max. Sometimes that means over eating,… Continue reading Spaghetti Squash with Spicy Soy Chorizo Sauce.
We just had the best. dinner. EVER. I love Sundays because sometimes it seems like the only day of the week where we can slow down, clean the house, do the errands we need to do, and cook what we want to eat. A few years ago, B got a Himalayan Salt Block for Father’s Day… Continue reading Flat Iron Steak with Chimichurri Sauce
Since B has been home, I’ve had to get back in the groove of meal prepping since I’m not just fending for myself anymore. 🙂 I was looking to try something new with ground turkey, and stumbled upon this delicious recipe on Pinterest(<3) AND happened to have all the ingredients on hand! Winning!! A few changes… Continue reading Chinese Green Beans with Ground Turkey & Rice
Sooo today I found out I need to have my gallbladder removed. I swear, I feel like I have the health problems of someone who is SO the opposite of how I see myself. I have had pretty constant stomach pain for two weeks and didn’t think much about it until it really wouldn’t go away… Continue reading Out with the Old and in with the New
Last week, the kids buried their beloved betta fish, Matthew (that’s pronounced Matt-hue, thank you very much, M will kindly remind you). Today, just a week later, I buried their 5 year old carnival prize Goldfish, lovingly dubbed “fish.” Kids can be so creative. The hopeless romantic in me would like to think Fish and Matt-hew had… Continue reading Endings and Beginnings.
I’ve come to a humbling realization in recent weeks… For being a therapist, I really SUCK at change. Honestly- I haven’t been sleeping, I’ve been panicky, distracted, forgetful, grouchy. I really need to take my own advice. Why is it always so much easier to help other people with their struggles than to help ourselves? I begin… Continue reading Life in Transition
Ah, the whirlwind that is having B and the kids here for 48 hours. My heart is so full, my days are so busy, and then SO quickly the weekend is over, and the house is eerily quiet and empty. I almost always cry when they leave, and today I was way more sad than usual.… Continue reading CSA Trial Run & Roasted Beets with Balsamic and Rosemary
