I'm Thankful For...day 10

Today I'm really having to think about what I'm thankful for mainly because it's the start of some long days and weeks ahead of me. 


Today I'm thankful for the fact that we have doctors that are able to help people like my husband's grandma. She is having surgery on her back today to hopefully relive more of the pain she suffers from. I'm very thankful that she is able to do this. I'm also thankful that we are in a position to stay with Grandpa and help him while she is away. 


I know that this is going to be a stressful time for my family as we relocate to their house and that Rex will have some adjustments he's going to have to make and this is the part that over shadows the thankful's I have listed. I'm really a little nervous about how this is all going to work. I know that one of the reason's I want to be a homemaker is to help out at times like this. I'm glad we are however I know it's going to be hard.


If you have a quick minute and would be willing to send up a quick prayer for Grandma's safety and fast recovery as well as sanity for me that would be fantastic!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
