Happy Independence Day!

    It’s the 4th! The countdown is over! 

 

    What are YOUR big plans?

 

    Mine consisted of sleeping in and then when my youngest sister got out of work, we drove an hour to where pretty much my entire family was camping over the weekend to hangout, 

 

    Cooking over an open fire, endless belly laughs from my favorite little people, s’mores, sparklers, fireworks, the quiet, music of course!

 

    There’s a peacefulness of being away from your home, deep somewhere in the woods surrounded by nothing but loved ones, nature and the ticks! For awhile you forget about all your problems and you just enjoy every second of the peace.

 

    We went camping all the time growing up! I remember it as always being a blast, but I never appreciated the quality of memories and peacefulness I was getting out in those woods! I appreciate it now as an adult! 

 

    I hope you all had an incredible weekend with loved ones! 

 

    I’ll be adding more pictures later! But in the meantime you can look at this one of me being patriotic AF! 

 





XOXO

Cookie Era!

Image
  Listen, I’m in my cookie era! Here’s what I did! I made a double batch, scooped them and placed them on parchment paper to keep them separated. Placed them in freezer bags and then froze the second batch. That way I have chemical free cookies ready to take out of the freezer whenever I want and bake fresh! This way I can bake 2 if I want instead of making up a whole batch.

My Manic...

Image
     I have been stressing myself out lately about perfection. I can’t share anything I do unless I know it’s perfect. It’s probably going to give me an ulcer.       I decided today that I didn’t need perfection.      It’s not about that. I mean I’ve always known that but I am so unbelievably hard on myself that I allowed those feelings to creep in and attack my inner peace!        I haven’t felt that manic in about a year! So it was definitely something that I had to take care of right away! I almost forgot that my manic was an emotional response to stress.          I was being unappreciative of my own strengths, too hard on my personal weaknesses and turning a blind eye to my mental state.       I called it quits yesterday and decided to do absolutely nothing all day to let my brain rest and recover from my own abuse. Until inspiration hit and I decided to DOODLE.  ...

Ditch Kitty!

Image
  It’s been awhile since I’ve had an update on my little rescued ditch kitty! Sirius is thriving! he came to me at 1.5 pounds soaking wet and he’s up to 7.5 pounds now! Which is perfectly in line for his age! He’s all up to date on his vaccinations and he doesn’t have to go back for another year! (Unless he needs to!) His personality can only be described as wildly unpredictable and entertaining! His favorite things are wet food, cucumbers and pull tabs from my almond milk and playing nonstop!
