End of the school year, beginning of Summer Vacation!


So much has changed this year. I changed my eating habits or in other words lifestyle change for the better. I have at this point lost 35+lbs and am so happy with myself! I have cheated a lot but my over indulging is a thing of the past. I am so thankful for the support from all of my friends and family and all the compliments as well! I am finally getting comfortable in my skin. 

I also recently started Copaxone. A daily shot for MS that I never thought I'd be able to do! I had to stop the Gilenya because of some side effects that occurred. So, I stopped the medicine and 2 weeks later I was hospitalized for a relapse. It was a pretty depressing experience and really really don't want it to happen again! Thankfully the Copaxone has been a wonder drug at this point.

A lot has changed with my girls too!

Mary turned 10, double digits?!!! I am still adjusting to that and we recently started a new journey together!! She is becoming such a beautiful and intelligent young lady and it scares me to think that she is really growing up! She is definitely not my little girl anymore :( She will always be my baby but I can't believe her maturity level and looks in general. She is questioning everything and trying so many new things! 

Jane is finally trying to express her self and it is a tough battle for her but she is tough and will get through it :) She is so sweet and getting so big! She wasn't reading much at the beginning of the year and by the end she received an award for reading over 600 books!! I am blown away by her dedication, proud mama moment for sure! 


Adeline turned 2 and is so smart!! She loves to swing, dance and watch Umizoomi!! She is such a ham and so different from Mary and Jane. Such a unique little sour patch kid. We gave her the nickname because like the candy, first she is sour then she is sweet. 


Now we have reached the end of the year and I am desperately begging for time to slow down! I am so excited to spend the summer with the kids and watch them grow and our relationships to get stronger! 
Here's to a new beginning and a bittersweet ending! 

Schools out for Summer!!

Sometimes its more than just a roof.

 12/13/2022 When we send texts, make calls, answer emails, etc.  We think what a miniscule interaction it is to us and the person on the other end of the line.  The simple error of a calling someone the wrong name, is not simple.  The assumption that this wrong name doesn't hold so many emotions, good bad and ugly. I have always been lucky enough to be happy with my name.  I am lucky enough to be happy with the gender I was assigned at birth. I am lucky enough to be in a safe relationship. I am lucky enough.      Today, I asked someone if they wanted any information about a product my company is offering to current and previous customers. Simple customer service, right?      The person at the other end of the simple text I sent, was covered with emotions of trauma and experiences I will never know or understand. I would've never known. I am so glad they addressed it. I was speaking to someone and addressing them by their abusers nam...

Happy Valentines Day! and some tips too

Just some ideas for a fantastic and budget friendly Valentines Day! 1. Buy roses at the grocery store instead of a florist. They make great arrangements for great prices! 2. Order a heart shaped pizza from Donatos . I heard Papa Johns is doing the same thing this year!! Take your pick, the hubs and I look forward to a heart shaped from Donatos Pizza every year. 3 . Rent a movie and snuggle on the couch and make home made popcorn. Cheaper than one movie ticket and more romantic too! 4. Make a romantic dinner at home. Spaghetti, garlic bread, and salad is cheap and delicious! Present it with heart shaped plates and red napkins. 5. This is the most important tip!! Make sure to tell the person you are spending the holiday with how much they mean to you! At the end of the day, all I really wanted was an extra special I love you and to know I am loved. I really hope I didn't gross you single people out too much! But if so.. I have a great idea that sounds like A  LOT ...

Pollyanna syndrome

My mom has always said she likes to find the good in people, similar to Pollyanna. Whether she likes it or not, it's not always a good quality to have. She always told me I wear my heart on my sleeve, another quality that isn't always a good one. Seems pretty negative to disagree with her wanting to find the good or people or loving everyone regardless of their actions but let me finish. She recently learned that it is sometimes hard or impossible to find the good in people, including the ones she loves...like ALOT.  She and a few others recently dealt with a pretty heavy situation involving people they love and the outcome wasn't pretty. It was quite ugly! Not the first time my family has dealt with some ugly situations but it affected someone that has NEVER  put herself first and always done what is right regardless of the situation. Back to my point I am trying to make..when someone lives their life always finding the good and overlooking the truth behind the good..it ca...
