Sunday Funday

   How is everyone this week? I've been busy busy busy! This is a busy but exciting week for me. I have meetings for Autism Speaks and CEO this week. I am getting my essential oils kit this week as well! The most important thing that is happening is Z, our toddler, is getting his Autism Speech evaluation this week. He's already approved for the programs but we need to see where he is at developmentally to see where to start and how many times a week he needs therapy. The doctor had already suggested three times a week but we will see. Right now he has 3 words (Apple. Car, and Eat). At 19 months old he should have a lot more, especially considering he doesn't "ask" for an apple. A car or to eat. He will point to an apple or a car to eat though, so that's good.

    As for the oils, I am really excited to just I'm general try them. I am in pain and exhausted daily so I won't have to wait for an opportunity to use them and I think that is what excites me most...the thought of being pain free or minimal pain just sounds incredible to me. I've hurt so very long. Being in pain all the time is exhausting and I always feel like I coud crash. Some people ask me how I do it all - family, work, school, etc and honestly I don't know how I do it sometimes. I am hoping that these oils help counter the affects of well, my life. I cannot wait to see if this oil helps. 

    I have 'plans' to make homemade laundry detergent this week, and get my cloth diapers stripped, also recruit a few gals to be on my doTERRA team. Besides all my school work, we have basketball this week, three shoots, and I plan on trying a Gluten Free granola crunch bite recipe...and post most of it here. Haha! We will see how it goes!!! 

My Typical Friday Fever...

   Where I live there is really nothing to do. I mean, nothing. Beyond walking outside and taking in the scenic beauty that does surround my home. However...with ice and snow all over there really isn't any place safe to walk. So, on Friday we take my step son to meet his mother about an hour away and I always want to go. I take joy in grocery shopping because it's out and about. I love where I live, I love the nothingness and how close to nature I am but every Friday all day long I am itching to get out of the house. Haha! So, trying to get some interaction from anyone reading..what are your plans for this fabulous Friday? How is the weather where you are at?

Life...in directions unexpected

     I thought my blogging life was over. I've been quite depressed as of lately and really not in the right state of mind to be writing. However, with my motto in mind "Onwards..." I've decided to move onwards. Since I have last posted so much has happened. I was diagnosed with Celiac disease, meaning everything I love to eat, I am not suppose to. So in my mind all the beautiful, delicious recipes I love to make was the past. No more...now, I need to be dedicated to making and creating new gluten free recipes and I would still like to share them.

  The "idea" of a foodie blog has been thrown out the window. Honestly, I cannot hardly keep up with this blog so creating a blog for each of the things I'd like to write about would be stupid on my part and setting myself up for failure. So, you'll get a whole bunch of goodies from now on (is the plan haha) from my blog!

A few things I plan on discussing:

deTERRA oils: This is a brand new adventure in my life. I hope they work for my daily pain, and problems I have with my body, emotions, stress and overall health. I would like to review the product and share with you how well they work for me. All people are different, but I know we are all pretty skeptical, so I am excited to see how it works out! Stay tuned for more on that!

Autism: My 8year old was diagnosed at age 3. Our 19 month old was diagnosed last week and will now be going through the early intervention process. It hurts me to think that I made two babies with autism. I want writing to be my outlet for my personal emotions, you know getting it out helps and maybe my emotions and moments good and bad will help someone else going through similar.

Makeup: I am nosediving into makeup for Jim and my photography. I want to learn new tricks and techniques. I do not wear makeup so this is a very very new journey for me as well. Looking forward to learning and growing and sharing my experiences with you.

Recipes: Of course, I cannot leave out recipes because I love love love to cook and bake. I want to make more delicious (and 'normal') tasting foods that us who are new to the gluten free world can enjoy without feeling like we are eating cardboard. I miss my bread, I miss my regular noodles, but mainly, I miss my bread. J bought me some UDIs Gluten free bread that isn't bad...but it's not the same.

Photography and Life: We shoot models, but I would like to shoot other things as well. Of course this is a constant goal of mine. I always want to shoot something with extreme emotion but haven't really had the time. Will try to get some of that in!

My life: School, work, kids, frustration, joys, tears, love, hate and my general emotions. I want an outlet...writing is that outlet. I want to record my journey to a healthier me. My weight loss journey, my getting fit journey included.

Open letters...probably lots of open letters lol..I have an opinion on everything.

Well, there is probably more but since it is so late and Z gets up so very early I must end it here. I will try to start posting daily about SOMETHING. <3 Please follow.

Until Next Time...
