Hummus. Yes, I bet your mouth is already drooling at the simple sight of the word. So delicious, so healthy, so fresh, so smooth, and dare I say… EASY to make. A few weeks ago I bought me one of the greatest tools for the kitchen- a food processor. We bought the Ninja and boy … Continue reading »
The Story About The Yellow Yarn and Faith
I was compelled to buy the yellow yarn. The more I browsed for different colors, the more I looked over at that bulk yellow yarn. I didn’t have a specific project in mind, I just wanted more yarn. I left the store with two more things I was sure I didn’t need: yellow yarn and … Continue reading »
How Pinterest Made Me ‘Hip’
Before Pinterest I was simply a dull, uncreative housewife. I cleaned my home, cooked meals, washed clothes, and decorated it just perfectly (or so I thought). I later discovered what the whole Pinterest Rave was all about. Finally, my eyes were opened and realized I could actually be a creative being! Last week I tried … Continue reading »
{end} victimization
She told me to stop being a victim. Words from a stranger. Words that pierced my heart. Words that took effect after I hung up the phone. Words from the mouth of a woman who has no chance to ever conceive because cancer took over her body. “You’re not a victim” she said. “We are … Continue reading »
{not} NOW
I want NOW to happen now. I want the adoption to go through NOW. I want to get pregnant NOW. I want to move NOW. I want everything done NOW. But from what I’ve learned in life is that now doesn’t happen when I want it to. I cry and throw my tantrum and ask … Continue reading »
Paper Pregnancy
Such a weird term… Paper Pregnancy. It popped into my brain this week and I can’t stop thinking about it. I feel overwhelmed. I feel emotional. I started having surreal dreams about it. Adoption… I woke up today… in a somber mood, such an inexplicable feeling lingering over me. Hours later I remembered my vivid … Continue reading »
Eat This!
Remember in the beginning of the month when I wrote (here) about weight loss and my goal to keep it off? Well, I’m here with a little update and some recipes that will surely make your mouth water… at least I hope. I’ve so far managed to lose six pounds and keep them off. For … Continue reading »
My Good Man
Rough and tough journey’s aren’t meant to be traveled alone… at least not for me. Without my husband, I’d be more of a wreck than I am now, which is hard to envision being that I am pretty messed up as it is. I’ve been able to write on how I’ve been coping with the … Continue reading »
Bye Bye Hot Flashes
“I’ve moved on. Yup, totally over it. Nothing to think about here…” I feel the need to reassure myself with those words a few times a day on days like these. Yes folks, I am once again talking about the baby-making-infertility issue. I have been fine, surrendering it all. Moving on. Accepting it. Thanking God … Continue reading »
The Part Where We Wait
It’s all out of our hands. The part of the adoption process where we simply wait on our social worker to complete our home-study. The part that feels like an eternity. The part that makes me want to make a sort of bribe to get it done faster (not like I’d do that, of course). … Continue reading »
