Gluten Free Salmon Cakes
This is an ole to my mommy. I want to thank her publicly for being such an awesome person. There have been many a day as a grown up that I am exhausted with coming up with new and different recipes, which she managed to do seemingly to me effortlessly. My mommy on occasion when my brother and I were younger would make mackerel croquettes and honestly I could not get past the bones in the mackerel so I never really wanted it, but today, I actually especially on fried fish, love to crunch on those bones and look for bone in fish at restaurants and when available I would…

The Life We Never Expected Book Review and Giveaway
Being in the field that I am (assisting those with disabilities/challenges to work), I am able to see all types of productive and loving individuals caring for their friends and loved ones when they come in the office. At this point, however I do not see a lot of the behind the scenes interaction of the guardians/parents with their special needs child or children. I get to see them once they are grown or almost grown and depending on the disability I can imagine what the caretakers had to go through, but only a glimpse of it. Andrew and Rachel Wilson share with us in The Life We Never Expected,…

Gimmee Jimmy’s Cookies Review
Gimmie Jimmy’s Cookies Review Arrival of some yummy goodness. Yes, I knew it was coming, but I did not know what was included in detail. The gist of this review was to help determine the freshness of the cookies and how long it would be before they were not so fresh. I enjoyed this review because I was able to savor the cookies for a longer period of time on purpose. Most times, I would not let them last beyond 4-5 days, but these lasted 8 days. At the 8th day, this is were they crumbled a lot and became a little harder. They arrived perfectly in a white 2lb…

Unashamed Book Review and Giveaway
Watching from the side, I saw her mouth move to form, “Oh my goodness, I am so sorry for saying that Mommy”. My friend had said something very nasty to her mom and her mom forgave her, but had she forgiven herself? Years later she still manages to tell me the story and began to ask her about how she is feeling about it, because it seemed to me that she was holding on to guilt and shame. This incident lingering on for years like that is truly a sign of it, but sometimes we just overlook it as being normal. Heather Davis Nelson, the wonderful author of Un-ASHAMED:…

Walk it off Now Challenge and Giveaway
Join Me and Many Others In The Walk It Off Now Challenge! A lot of us had as a new year’s resolution to lose weight and eat better. To be quite honest, I have not done all that great with either one, how about you? I had unrealistic goals instead of little goals and work my way up to the more challenging ones. For example, anyone who knows me knows I love sweets so instead of cutting them out all together, I should have reduced the amount first and then worked my way down to next to nothing. So what happened? I failed and almost gave up and started beating…

Hale Fertility Journey Month 1 Part 1
Children are one of the necessary pieces of the puzzle that a lot of couples need/desire to complete their families and we are no different. We both have a past that has lead us down different roads and we we have 3 older men, not boys from my husband’s past relations. We have been married for almost 9 years and in that time this has been the most serious time that we have been downright serious about having children together. We have sadly experienced 2 miscarriages which were extremely challenging for us and quite honestly shook our faith in God, but thanks to Father God we were able to…
