A dose of encouragement

Christmas Tea

This tea is absolutely amazing and perfect in the evening when you're settling down with a good book and a soft cozy knitted blanket.

A few years ago, I was gifted this wonderful tea by a good friend who recently passed away from an extremely rare degenerative brain disease called Variant Creutzfeldt- Jacob (vCJD) disease. It was her favorite and one cold drizzly afternoon her and I sat and enjoyed this tea while having a deep girly conversation, I will never forget that!! She was a beautiful gentle soul and I will always remember her kindness, sweet ways, and humble heart. she left behind 3 beautiful children and a loving husband. Every time I think of that my heart deeply saddens.. She gave me the recipe that came along with the beautiful jar and I lost it. I was so heart broken. I reached out to her sister in law and she was happy to give it to me.

I will always think of you sweet Breidi when sipping this tea

LONG OVERDUE POST

Yes, I am barley now getting around to blogging.. 

SUCH IS LIFE

I have been so busy with life's demands and distractions that, I put this blog on the back burner - way in the back ...along with many other things that need my attention.  This morning I woke up and said no more fiddle-faddle pittle-pattle flipped opened my laptop and here I am..

Tealyn started her kindergarten year this past fall.

I am not going to lie she really had a hard time adjusting . She would cry every morning come home sad and not say or eat much.  I guess you can say she had a bad case of separation anxiety  This went on for nearly a month and a half. I seriously considered pulling her out. I started doubting my decision and wondered if I was failing her. Romeo and I would try and make mornings fun and exciting but, to no avail. I would drop her off and sob all the way home. Her sweet teacher kept reassuring me telling me that everything would be fine. She was right...

I PRAYED A LOT.

And by the grace of God things slowly got better.

And better

She now looks forward to seeing her friends and telling me all about her day 

We are half way through kindergarten and I am happy that she is happy 

She was in a Thanksgiving play that was so cute.
