What an awesome day! Yesterday was my 35th birthday! I had a full long day with the man and kids. This year I thought to myself if I get out the house my number 1 mission is to make it to Sephora and Ulta for my free birthday gifts! I always miss them every year but not this year!!!  Sephora/Ulta Birthday gifts! So we started the day at Denny’s where I had a grand slam breakfast free (all you need is to show your ID). Lennox spilled his orange juice on my feet and Dj knocked his sprite into my lap. Yay me! So we hurried up and I took my jeans off in the parking lot. The upside to living in a beach town is that my actions were ‘normal’ 😂   We headed to Target where the man so kindly ran in to purchase me a new pair of pants so we didn’t have to drive home. Next stop, the mall. I rarely ever go to the mall. So little in fact that we didn’t even know that all the shops don’t open until Noon. I took the opportunity to head over to Starbucks and get my free birthday drink. The...

I’m slightly obsessed with making my own egg bites now! Starbucks is great but if both me and Husbeard both buy 2-3 servings each we’re going to go for broke real fast. So I played around and tweaked a recipe I liked until it had me twerking in the kitchen!  *this made six...but I ate one! I blend 3 eggs with 2tbsp of heavy whipping cream, 1/3c of cream cheese, and 1tbsp of rice flour until smooth. Then I strain it to get lumps out. I use and fill silicone molds then add seasoning and shredded cheese. To cook them I boil two inches of water in a skillet that has a cover. Place filled molds in skillet and cover. Cook for about 10 minutes or until you can see center is set. It comes out super silky like Starbucks egg bites. And you can put anything in it. Last week was pepperoni and mozzarella. These are cheddar with southwest mrs dash. Next week is black forrest ham and baby Swiss!!

Have you ever wished you could try wine before investing in a bottle or case? Plenty of times I stood in front of large selections with shelves of wine and thought how much easier it would be for me to find my signature wine; a go to as a gift, for meals, with my late night chocolate if I could just try a glass before settling it wouldn’t seem like such a daunting task.

I anxiously waited until I was out of my 1st trimester to announce that Marquis and I were expecting a new addition to our family. At 19 weeks and 1 day I had a miscarriage.I don't think I've healed at completely yet. At the time I originally started detailing this post it had only been hours but writing has always been therapeutic to me. It's part of my healing process and I'd like to share it because you don't read about miscarriages too often. We all know it happens but never the story, just the sadness or the happiness after successfully conceiving after a miscarriage. I for the most part had a natural miscarriage at home. I did go to the hospital at first but after no fetal heartbeat was detected or movement via ultrasound I was sent home. It was Friday March 13, 2015. I was given a prescription for pain should I need it and instructed to see my OB the following Monday. Saturday was a fairly pleasant day. I wanted to stay in bed all day but Marquis encoura...

Every single morning it take a dozen or so phone calls, numerous text messages and more phone calls to get me out of bed. My day starts with two really great friends that go above and beyond, two sisters, in fact twins, that call me starting at 5am. I am not sure if they coordinated a schedule on their own as far as timing but it never fails that two to five minutes after one calls the other does. This is followed by several text messages and ends with a call from each that engages me in an actual conversation requiring me to think...and respond to the point that I know I can't fall back asleep. I'm pretty sure there is probably an underlying condition other than insomnia and I was right (to some extent). A could of weeks ago I went to have my annual physical done. I haven;t done that in years because I generally never get sick besides seasonal allergies. Please note that I also never had allergies until I moved South. Well the good new is that I am pretty healthy. I was half...
