Happy Easter Darcy

Oh, how I wish my daughter was here to celebrate this day with us.

If you were here with us I would have picked out the most beautiful Easter dress for you and you would have looked perfect. We would have went to your grandparents' houses and you would have been smothered with love. I don't think I realized how hard this day is without you until I started writing this post. I would have bought you the softest stuffed bunny rabbit I could find to put in your crib. What I would do to have you in my arms again. But, you are celebrating Easter in the best place that one could celebrate Easter. We love you!

The Shake

When I signed up to be a coach I didn't really plan to use Shakeology. I had never tried it before and I really was just so sold by the workouts that I didn't think buying the shakes would really add that much more to my new lifestyle. But it all kind of came with the territory and I thought I may as well give them a try to see what they were like. I ordered the cafe latte, because according to research I had done that flavor along with chocolate was their biggest sellers. And I like coffee. It came quicker than expected and I was super excited to try it. It was a little strong on flavor. The first mixture I tried was using just unsweetened almond milk and I've now been adding water along with that to cut down the strong flavor. I sometimes add oats, frozen bananas, mint extract (careful with this one, a drop or two will do. I learned that the hard way) or peanut butter. But there are loads of recipes if you search around. ...

Silly faces

Elliot already has many silly faces that she makes. Like this one... I think she is already practicing the clueless look of "I didn't do it!". I don't know how I am going to scold a cute face like that. I am sure when I have crayon all over my living room wall it will be much easier. This is the look of, "Mom, that flash is way too bright!". This next one is one of my personal favorites... It says, "Yeah, I'm cute. So what?". And last, but not least... "Listen to me scream!" Gee, I wonder where she got it from?

Faith and speculation

I am so glad the weekend is over with! It was a bad one. Chris, my husband, lost his grandmother over the weekend. We were all very close to her and it was very sudden and unexpected. We just saw her last weekend and I think it hasn't truly became a reality yet. She was a wonderful woman and will greatly be missed. It's so amazing how things can change in the matter of minutes. I know most of you have experienced this in many different ways. Some, unfortunately more tragically than others. It's just a reminder that we are not in control of the big picture. When I was a very young girl I remember attending church. Really, attending Sunday school. Which, mostly consisted of arts and crafts with a little lesson to go along with it. Before I was old enough to think for myself and really understand what the Bible was all about, we stopped going to church. I have always believed in God and the Bible, but I've never studied it all. I always just called myself a believer. When ...
