Hello Friends! First of all I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! And I’m not going to get politically correct and say “if you celebrate Easter” like I’ve seen some doing…that’s kind of a given, right? The phrases we use like “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Thanksgiving” are never meant offensively, at least I can’t…

{MIMM #11} At Least I had a Good Weekend?
Hello Friends! It’s always something. Does it seem like that to anyone else? Maybe it’s just one of those challenging phases of life.Where I learn a whole lot about myself and what really matters and how to operate under stress and deal with the loneliness that comes from moving to a new city…. Or maybe…
{MIMM #10} It’s Monday BUT
Hello Friends! Sometimes it takes me a bit to recover from the weekend. Specifically the sleeping schedule. I stay up late Sunday evening getting things unpacked (when I go back home..like this weekend) and getting ready for the week…then it takes time to unwind and have my bedtime tea and cereal. As a result, it…
Look for the Helpers + Baby Snuggles
Dear Friends, How ironic is it that I was complaining about not being a mom in my post yesterday, when I found a very good reason to be thankful I don’t have to worry about my children just yet. I, like many of you, am still trying to process the tragedy of yesterday. If you…
{Faithful Friday #3} First Day of Winter Break
Hello Friends! Apparently this post can also be called “I’m a 25 Year-Old Woman and Not a Mother” or “Logic Vs Heart” or “How to Look Awesome When Your Walking in Cold Weather”(the original title) (You never know what will come out when I sit down to write!) Well my first day of break was…
Happy 50th Birthday (Grand)Mama Sue
Hello Friends! Mama Sue turns 50 today. A young grandma if you ask me. 😉 We threw my dad a surprise 50th b-day party, so we thought we might as well do the same for mom. Yep, we got her some “old people” items..including depends! In anticipation of sister Courtney having baby Aaron Philip, we…
Aunt Amanda
Hello Friends! Today I had the day off from babysitting, so I had planned on working on my Nutrition paper ALL DAY LONG. Just one day to type it all out, get the rest of the facts I wanted and then I would have Friday and Saturday to edit. It’s due Sunday (originally I flipped…
Thanksgiving 2012
Hello Friends! I took a surprisingly small amount of photos this holiday….okay I took some, but seriously, remember last Thanksgiving?? Lots of pictures…like this sweet one! My sis Rachel and I hung out the night before to do some baking and like last year…she didn’t really do much of anything except be a goofball. What…
Baby Shower–It’s a Boy!
Hello Friends! No friends, I’m not preggers. Someday! But for now I am in a near-constant battle with Chemistry and I’m pretty sure it is better done sans kiddos. I get my baby fix at my nannying job and occasional babysitting. And soon I will get it through my little nephew! My sister Courtney is…
Spicy Mexican Chicken Tacos
Hello Friends! As promised in Wednesday’s WIAW post, AND on my Semi-Healthy Facebook Page (if you haven’t already, head on over and “like” it to help me reach 200 “likes!!”) I am sharing a taco recipe that’s sure to kick you in the mouth. What a first line huh? Don’t leave! They won’t actually hurt…
