Pain Teaches You A lot
We all have dealt with pain in our life. Some are worse than others. Some we have actually caused on people. Whether intentionally or not intentionally it has happened.
Pain isn’t just from a companion. It can be from a friend, a family member, a work colleague, a situation, a worldwide event or disaster. Pain comes from different avenues.
It’s is our job to take this pain and learn from it. When we suppress it it’s like putting clean laundry on top of dirty laundry. If you never get to the bottom or root of the problem the dirty messes up the clean clothes. See where I am going with this. It all blends. We can’t enjoy the good or clean clothes because those emotions are blended with the bad or dirty clothes.
Clean out your basket. Clean out your core and start over. Start filling yourself with positive experience. Pain isn’t avoidable. But healing is your responsibility. Pain will always happen. But deal with it at the moment and move on.
What To Do With Apples After Apple Picking
There’s no school today so I told the girl’s in the morning we would bake. There’s a ton of my favorite Apple recipes to make like...baked apples..apple crisp- recipe here and apple pie in an apple- recipe here, apple turnovers- recipe here. There’s even an Apple detox blend you can make- recipe here.
But this morning I decided to look up some new recipes and have the girls decide on what to bake.
15 Things to Do with All the Apples You Pick This Fall
Being A Good Mom...Doesn’t Always Mean Being THAT Mom
I have been blogging for over 10 years. I started out just about my journey of motherhood. But now I am
not just Mom. I am a foodie. I am Jay. I am a divorced mom to three girls. I am an entrepreneur. I am a girl who dates. I am a girl who has dealt with heartache and crazy life changes in such a short period of time. I am so much stronger, independent and wiser than I have ever been in my life. Self love is a major goal. Self acceptance too. I am so many things...that years ago if you told me who I would be today I wouldn’t believe you.
So I sometimes read my old posts. I like to see who I was verse who I am today. I came across this post. I swear I still am her yet so different. Things that used to have to be a certain way no longer have to be. I let go of some things and some things still remain the same. Of course my kids always come first and I still have wipes in my car and snacks well of course I carry so many snacks so much that even my mom jokes my “4th” daughter knows to come to me when she’s hungry because I always have enough for everyone.
So maybe I am sort of still that Mom but now I am so much more and I kind of really like her and hope the world does too!

Blue Jay Orchards In Bethel
This is one of my favorite orchards for apples. You pre pay for a bag and go picking. There are a ton of different apples. You have to be careful because the bitter ones are the better ones for baking and the sweater ones are better for eating. My girls love apples and I love packing them for lunch so I kept going back for more fugi.
I love this orchard because across the street is where you can go on a tractor ride and their store is filled with awesome goodies. Best Apple cider donuts ever.
The tractor ride has these cute signs of how an Apple tree grows and no matter how many times I go on these things one fact always sticks with me.
This time it was this: it’s takes an Apple tree six years to grow before it producers apples. 6 YEARS.
Can you imagine? I would be like after three years thinking yeah this tree was a dud. But nope. You have to wait six years before it’s gives you apples. This is where patience needs to set in.
I was that mom reading out loud about all the fun interesting facts. After we started to joke around with the kids and quiz them.
It was a perfect Sunday morning. Next up to will be pumpkin picking.
