I find myself wishing time would slow down every second. I love just watching her. Taking her in and enjoying her. Watching her body move and work well. I think about it so often and am so thankful. I hope she always knows she’s a treasure. Not because I treasure her but because she just is. She’s wonderfully made. She’s a little dot in the world full of beautiful people but I always hope she knows who she is. That she is kind and generous but doesn’t let the world take advantage of her. That she remembers to say thank you for goodness. And knows how to cope with hard by digging in her heals and getting through. I’ll teach her. And I hope she learns and executes it in her life. But more than anything I want her to know she’s a true treasure. Her body is wonderful. Her mind is strong. She’s capable. She’s worthy. She’s enough just because. She’s gonna be so tired of me by the time she’s five 🙄😂but I’m going to show her and teach her by example and hold her hand as she learns to be a little lady. I’m so thankful she’s mine. I’m so thankful I’m hers.

I bought a new dress for Elliott Jane. It’s light blue and especially sweet. I went to put it on for her one year doctors appointment and it was to small. You know what I did? Tossed it on her little rocker and got something out that fit. No emotions attached. Obviously. She’s a 12 month old baby. But what a good life lesson for me and you. It didn’t fit so I choose something else. Real simple. Why are we. so. hard. on. ourselves. all. the. time. about. the. size. of. our. bodies? Healthy bodies are so many different sizes. Don’t cheat yourself out of health because you’re making excuses but also on your way to optimal health love yourself along the way. Love yourself because you’re you. Toss that shirt that’s to big or small aside and just choose another. No emotions. Just gotta wear a shirt today, that’s all. 😂 And then look in the mirror and smile at your reflection as hard as I’m kissing this sweet baby. Hard things are different for everyone. And not having emotions around my size [NO MATTER THE SIZE] has always been so hard for me. Work in progress. What about you? . Also enjoy Elliott Jane having an ice cream sandwich for the first time today...in the next slide 🥳

Copycat Lilys Chicken my favorite from Bonefish Grill // dairy free and delish . 6 chicken thighs 1 cup of bone broth 3/4 cup artichokes (I buy the premarinated) 10 ounces of fresh spinach 2 tablespoons of dried basil 1 tablespoon rind of a lemon Salt, pepper and garlic to taste 6 tablespoons of dairy free cream cheese or goat cheese Begin browning your chicken in your cast iron over medium heat. Add your bone broth and spinach. Continue cooking over medium heat as your spinach wilts. You’ll cook your chicken about 15 minutes on each side. Add salt, pepper and garlic to your chicken. Once your spinach is wilted and your chicken is almost cooked; add your artichokes, add basil liberally and the rind of the lemon. Turn your burner off and add a dollop of cream cheese (or goat cheese)to each piece of chicken and serve with caulimash.

My mom will say “is this what you thought she’d look like?” and I always reply something like I didn’t care. I didn’t pray for health. I didn’t pray for brown hair and blue eyes. I didn’t pray much. Because I was tired of asking. If I’m being honest. That’s not the pretty answer. I was tired of praying. Tired of the door closing in my face. Tired. Instead I exhaled a lot and said thank you. I’ll take whatever and whom ever I’m chosen to mother. And I’ll cry with gratitude daily. This morning my heart smiled as she pulled up with her “burpie” [her burp cloth she’s attached to] because I’ve always thought babies that carried a white little blanket (like Linus from Charlie Brown) were the sweetest and I love baby dolls and she does too. There she is. A little perfect brown haired, blue eyes baby with her little blanket she drags behind her to greet her babies. I didn’t pray for her but I did. I said more thank you than prayers. And every time she does something that “I would have prayed for” I’m reminded I wasn’t forgotten. Some things just take time. 🤍

Big is not a word I like. Because I have felt that word so much in my life and wrong or right it’s just not a word I love. Strong though. I like that word. I can’t think of any reason to not love that word. Strong in heart. Strong in body. Strong in emotions. So much more. So after looking this perfect little gem over and over at her checkup today when the nurse said “she is so strong!” it was music to my ears because she IS strong. And I’ll keep teaching her how to always find her strength and to remember how strong she is. Also we nearly took the entire room down waiting for the doctor but one year olds gotta do what a one year olds gotta do...and I was sweating and laughing and thinking “I mean they need a fan in these tiny rooms for the mamas!”😂

Peggy hasn’t been feeling well so she has to stay on the other side of the gate. And every morning Brad has been sitting with her having his coffee all morning. We’ll figure out answers today and hopefully she’ll be better soon. Yesterday in stories I talked about social media meanies (nothing done to me) and how we need to just be kind and generous with people. When it comes to weight loss or gain — PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY WEIGH — it’s okay to be SILENT AND SCROLL — think before you write or speak. Are you making that person better? Are you lifting them up? Would you want it said to you? It doesn’t matter if you have 0 followers or 10 million, you are an influencer. Your words are powerful. We are all the same. Tender needing love and acceptance. Love people well. Be generous with someone’s feelings. Encourage someone today just because. You know what happens, it comes right back to you.🤍
