When I light my candle tonight

I will think of not only my child, but all of the precious babies that could not stay with us here on earth. It is sad we have to have a day for this kind of thing. It breaks my heart to think that others have suffered the same kind of loss. I never knew this day existed until I experienced the death of our daughter.

We miss her so much and think about her all the time.

We love and miss you greatly, Darcy Jayne.

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. ...

Rewind

I take back what I said yesterday. My life is not going back together...I kind of had a break down at work today. After that post yesterday, it all started going downhill. Can we say rollarcoaster much? ugh! When will I be "normal" again? I know I will never be the person I was a year ago, which is fine...but, when will all of the... I'm good.... Not so good.... I think I could curl up and die.... Oh, no I'm alright.... Why can't I have my daughter... Oh, no I can handle looking at a baby.... Get that baby away from me... stop?

Hello September

I can't believe it's September! So close to Fall. This time of year is one of my favorites. Of course, Fall in South Texas is not the Fall I am used to being from the Midwest. Football isn't the same if you're not freezing your buns off in the stands, holding a cup of hot cocoa just try stay warm. It reminds me of marching band practice and the fall festival in my hometown. Funnel cakes and potato gunfights. Freshly pulled taffy and the Ferris wheel that was always scary but the best view in town. And who can have the Fall without the beautiful changing leaves! My goal this year is to make it up to North Texas where I hear the leaves do change colors. And call me crazy, but I think this will be the first year I really jump on the pumpkin spice train. I like pumpkin but never really understood the whole craze around the pumpkin spice. But I made me some pumpkin pancakes the other day and I was definitely craving more after they were go...

The little time we have...
