Blessings

Once again, Seattle pictures are on Jason's phone and I haven't had a chance to upload them on to here, but I did want to take a moment and give some thanks this Friday.

I sometimes have been known to take things for granted. I think we all have, right? So, on this Friday, as I am exhausted from being up all night with a sick baby girl, I thought I would give some thanks.

1. I get glimpses sometimes of how my life would be like as a single mom and I am so blessed to have a husband who is my teammate in raising our daughter. If you are a single mom, I think THAT is the hardest job on the planet.

2. I am so blessed to have parents that I can call at the last minute and say, "I can't miss another day of work to stay home with Avery, can I come down and have you guys watch her tomorrow?" And they say, "How soon can you get here?" And then, they spoil me and take care of me all weekend.

3. I am so blessed to have a beautiful, healthy daughter. She has some congestion right now, but I just couldn't even imagine what it would be like to have a daughter who is sick all of the time. It breaks my heart to hear her cough! I am blessed that at least for now, I have a healthy baby.

4. I am blessed to have a job. I am blessed to have a job that works with my schedule. I am blessed to have a job with a manager who also just had a baby and is sympathetic to how it feels to have just had a baby.

5. I am blessed to have a babysitter who truly cares about my baby.

6. I am blessed to have wonderful stepkids who love my daughter and love me!!



Have a happy Friday everyone, take time to give thanks for life's blessings today!

What is Your Skin Care Regimen?

Since turning 34 this year, I've been really trying to make sure I am taking care of my skin. I have been using Cover Girl Liquid Powder for years, but it always seemed to break my neck out. And full disclosure, my face cleaning routine consisted of using Avery's baby wipes (which actually do remove eye makeup surprisingly well). So, needless to say, my skin didn't always look its best.   So, I received some gift cards for my birthday and I decided to go ahead and spring for some better products. First thing I did was get something designed to clean my face. I ordered the Olay ProX Microdermabrasion System.     This system came with the battery-operated scrubber with both a brush and foam pad, plus every day face wash and microdermabrasion wash to be used twice a week. I have really loved using this system. The beauty is that you can really use any face wash you'd like. I will probably buy a pore-reducing wash after the tube they sent me is empty. This syst

It was a very good day.

I love it when God smiles upon us. I mean, He smiles upon us all the time. But sometimes, it's like sunshine, and Christmas morning, and rainbows, and babies, and awesomeness. On steroids. And I know that those times are not always permanent, so I learn to really wrap myself in His goodness, to take it all in, be happy, and just sit back and wait to see what He is going to do in my life. We have been struggling so long. I knew it was only a matter of time before things would be OK again. Where we would feel a little stability. Where we would take all of the things we learned while struggling and apply then when times are good. We have alot of great things going on in our lives right now. Some really great things. Some amazing, mindblowing, off the grid kind of great things. I wish I could share more, but for right now, let's just say that we are incredibly blessed with some great opportunities God is putting in our lives. I leave you with a gorgeous picture of our biggest bl

Why I am Pro Universal Healthcare and Changes to Our Healthcare System

Due to my recent proactivity with my credit and paying off debt, I decided to give the hospital a call where I was admitted about a month ago and ask about my bill. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail and I wanted to get an idea of what I'd be paying for my stay. I get on the phone with the billing department and the woman is just as nice as can be, really. She was surprised I'd even called her, considering I didn't even have a bill yet. She told me she'd sent the bill over to my insurance to be approved and paid but they hadn't heard back yet. "Just out of curiosity," I asked, knowing I would be responsible for 20% of the final bill, "how much was it?" What I heard next shocked me.   "$61,000" she said.   I said, "$61,000? I was only in the hospital for a night and only on anti-biotics, you can't be serious! My daughter cost me less than a third of that to give birth to and I was in the hospital two nights!&
