Edible Crafts Jello Play Dirt Dessert Kit
I am always trying to find something creative to do with my girls. I have them everyday all day during the week during quarantine so I have to get creative. I saw this at the grocery store in the jello aisle. Was a fun and easy craft to do this morning when it rained.
We had to add milk to the pudding mix to make chocolate pudding. It came with crumbled Oreos and bug shaped gummies. They stacked their bowls and got to eat it after. They enjoyed it and it was an easy, non expensive and non messy craft.
Don’t Let A Broken Heart Hold You Back
It’s easier to see things clearer when others go through something verse when you do. I have had my share of “oh crap why did I say and do that” moments. When it happens I try to redeem myself. It’s like I self sabotage.
I am all about figuring out my flaws and fixing them. I had a situation happen last week where I reacted out of frustrations and then had an oh crap moment.
I never thought what the argument would cause or affect or lead to. The thought of possibly not seeing the person again literally made me sick to my stomach. One day I couldn’t sleep. The next I was in bed when my kids left for their dads. It wasn’t pretty. It was silly since I caused my own chaos. If I communicated differently and thought it out I would have avoided this. Luckily it is fine now and we both apologized but it still could have been avoided.
A friend experienced something similar. And I said oh crap you pulled a J. Don’t do what I did. She quickly redeemed herself but it helped me see things differently.
During the journey of healing you have to make sense of stuff and situations, or your pain. Of your insecurities. You always hear people say they self sabotage or cause their own heartache because they don’t think they are worthy.
Finally I called BS on it and have come to my own conclusion.
We are worthy. Worth has nothing to do with it. When you abuse your body and mind with drugs and toxic people and harmful situations that’s when you don’t feel you’re worthy. If you could destroy your body and mind it’s because you don’t like who you are. But guarding your heart and freaking when you catch feelings is because...
You have had your heart broken before. In a course of three years my heart broke twice. Image that. Divorce and even after my divorce. So of course now I am on guard. I will run from a thought of loving someone. Not because I am not worthy but because I literarily had my heart broken and well was sick of it. Loving someone again scares me. It’s something I am working through.
BUT am I worthy. Yes. I deserve love. You deserve love. We all do.
Self worth has nothing to do with guarding your heart. Feeling insecure or being scared to love again. It has to do with healing your past relationships that broke your heart. It’s about trusting someone again. It’s about taking a risk.
I once read life ends with a broken heart so enjoy the process because it doesn’t last forever. We don’t live forever. We are here temporary. I rather have this person in my life then fear breaking my heart. I rather take a risk because I care about this person and don’t want to miss out on an opportunity to enjoy my life with them.
Friends For Life...Isn’t That The Goal
I was in 1st grade. I slipped her a note and asked “Will you be my best friend? Circle yes or no”
Gratefully she circled yes and we have been best friends since. Over 30 years and a ton of chats and laugh some tears lots of adventures and we are still going strong. I pray my girls have a friend like her. I pray they spend their life with someone who has their back. Tells them what they need to hear even if it’s not what they want to hear. It’s a lifetime bond. She turns 40 today and I am forever grateful for our friendship.

Let Go Of Worry
Make a plan and do the work and stop worrying...I say to myself over and over. Because it’s hard not to worry and it’s hard to not overthink but then you lose out on enjoying the moment. Enjoy. The. Moment. ❤️

Indoor seating. Gyms reopening. Bar seating...Still be safe and careful readers!
What’s In Your Suitcase?
We walk through life with suitcases. Unresolved issues and problems mean our suitcase are extra heavy. Once you release and sort through your pain your suitcase becomes lighter.
What are you carrying?
Reconnecting Within
Only way to see a change is to have you change...within. Your thoughts. How you handle situations. Your triggers.
It’s a learning process. Everyday. But it means a better you. You attract what you Need. Desire. Think. Want.

Today’s Sunset
How lucky are we to have the water near us. To be able to enjoy the beauty in little things.
Happy Birthday To...
My Pop. The only man I know who will love me unconditionally. We have this goofy bond. We act silly together. I notice he has that bond with my girls too and I love it. We all crack eachother up. It helps keep us young and happy. He’s always been my go to and how lucky are we all to have a person in our life like that. Who just wants to see us happy. Are you happy? He always asked. It always mattered to him. And even though everyday I work towards my happiness it’s always amazing to have people cheering you on. Be that person for someone.
Grateful for him!

Black Out Tuesday
#blackouttuesday #blacklivesmatter 🖤 This is just a peaceful, small gesture we can make. Reality we need to start our kids young knowing that everyone matters. You don’t judge someone based on the color of their skin. That we all have a right to have equal treatment and rights. No one has the right to take an innocent life. No matter what power you have!
My post is for my doctors who are my angels and saved my life during my pregnancies and my thyroid cancer. It’s for my clients who I admire and look up to everyday. It’s for my friends and my daughters friends who we love like family. It’s for my neighbors my teachers my peers. It’s for anyone who needs to be stand up for. Their color of skin should not matter. 🖤
