They say breakfast is your most important meal....is it? I have no idea! But if you give me a recipe with sausage in it and tell me it is easy....I am in...if you like Sausage, easy, three ingredients, and healthy, read on...this one if for you!
BIG DAY TODAY! I AM TURNING 47 AND ANNOUNCING MY BLOG! WHY AM I SO SAD? READ ON AND YOU WILL SEE.
So as a mother of three very active boys I am always looking for quick and healthy go-to meals, and man have I found one! Come and take a look and give it a Whirl! I dare ya! You might just like it.
So I wish I could tell you I wake up EVERY day and spent my first 15 minutes with God....BUT, I can't! The truth is, my first 15 minutes are spent making coffee, getting the pup to pee, (me too if I am being 100 percent honest), and depending on the day....well, who knows what else.
I need an easy go-to salad and side dish that can feed a crowd. On top of the kids' soccer, acting and grocery shopping, plus whatever else life throws at me, I'm making a very simple Marinated Cole Slaw Salad. For 30. (Yes, you read that right.)
Grief is strange. I don't like it. It is weird. The thoughts, the what ifs. Wondering if my mom is ok, all the while knowing I really am not without her here. But I'm learning to look for the silver linings in my waves of grief. Maybe you are, too?
As I sat watching the Hurricane unfold in Florida and remembering the effects of Hurricane Harvey just the week before and the earthquake in Mexico and Kim in Korea, my goodness this is a lot of bad I kept thinking to myself! I started thinking, "What the heck God?!" I mean my mom's Death hit me VERY hard and I was doubting God, but now this? This has got to have a lot of believers doubting.
About a year ago, I decided to change the way I ate. I am not a hardcore Paleo mama by any stretch of the imagination, but I do try. My motto in life is pretty much anything and everything in moderation. This would include my diet. You may or may not see me indulge in a coke here and there and you will FOR SURE see me indulge in Vino and Vodka and the list goes on and on. But, for the most part, I do try. Here is my take on her Chicken & Rice Soup. I make it and eat on it all week long!
I don't know what happens to me, but when the music comes on and I begin the steps, it's like I go into this other world. It is very cathartic at times, very healing at other times, and just a full out party. A party that I get to attend and forget what is happening around me.
Last July, after a dance class I had just taken, my now mentor, Alana, approached me about teaching. Her timing could not have been more perfect. I JUMPED at the offer - and here's why.
Three books I can't stop recommending: Hearing Jesus Speak into Your Sorrow by Nancy Guthrie, It Ends With Us, by Colleen Hoover and Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult. Click to read more on these books.
Why am I making it my goal to read at least two books a month? Because the more you read, the more you know!
Did you know there are really Angels everywhere?
Somedays they just pop out and are so obvious...like the story I am about to share with you.
But, sometimes we have to look for them. Other times, I firmly believe they are amongst us, we just cannot see them, or feel them, or recognize them.
Summer is officially over and today is the first day of school. AGH! UGH! (and insert many, many tears here). Yes I hate this day! I am not your typical mom who can't wait for this day each year... I am not the one who has the champagne chilling next to the orange juice in the frigelator! No, I am actually quite opposite.
