Happy Birthday!


    Today was my dads birthday! And every single year, I have he and my mom over for dinner (for each of their birthdays!) for dinner, cake and presents! 

    But I like to make each of them unique and fun, so I pick a new theme every year. They’re usually children themed, but I like to keep them young! 

 

    This year, for dad, I chose Spider-man! We had homemade chicken and dumplings and strawberry ice cream crunch cake! It’s my favorite tradition! It’s the least I can do for them every year! 






 

    With that being said, I had my final dentist appointment early this morning where I had the remainder of the work done that I needed. It was a BRUTAL one, I had to have wedges and blocks and I am in a world of hurt as of right now. I can’t wait to be able to take more Tylenol! 

 

    I also need a seriously gigantic NAP. Because I feel exhausted! 

 

    Then tomorrow, I have to pack yet again because I agreed to watch my niece and nephew while their parents go on one last weekend hurrah before the baby gets here. 

 

    So with that being said, I am going to get a snack and take it easy the rest of the night! 

 

    Happy Thursday, friends!





 

XOXO

Cookie Era!

  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.  ...

What would you tell your former self if you had the chance?

So yesterday was all about confessions and today I am going to talk about what I wish I knew back then that I know now.   I have always thought the world was out to get me. If not the world, the people in my world. I haven ’t always had the easiest time and I have had some hard shit happen in my life; but who hasn’t?    Here’s a list of some of the things I've dealt with: 1.  Being an overweight child 2.  Having undiagnosed anxiety 3.  Being bullied 4.  Having literally no self confidence  5.  Being completely introverted   And h ere are the things I wish I could have said to myself back then :   Bullies:    It’s hard to even describe what it’s like to be bullied. Unless you’ve been there you just don’t know. My parents always made sure I had nice, name brand clothes and that I had anything I ever needed. But it didn’t matter, people couldn’t get over my size long enough to see that I had a good personality. And eventually...
