Trunk-or-Treat!

So it's technically not yet Halloween, but we had the annual Trunk-or-Treat tonight.  Our new church building also has a pavilion outside equipped with picnic tables so this year we also had dinner before the 'trunk-or-treating' began.  Potluck, buffet style chili dinner, cornbread and other misc. sides...mmmm good. We waited in line, struggled through the line-me carrying Brynlynn, Brent serving up two bowls while both dodging little lego men, princesses and so on.  Once we finally made it to our seats and sat down....
Chili went all over the floor and Brent...

She did, however, manage to scoop some of the chili and Fritos before they fell and get a good taste.  (I couldn't help but laugh because of a scene from Mr. Mom where the baby gets a can of chili..."You can't feed a baby chili!"; again, another Mr. Mom reference...seriously watch the movie if you haven't seen it and/or don't remember that scene!)
No biggie.  We cleaned it up, shared a bowl, then commenced to get some candy!  And we were smart enough (for once) to get some pictures BEFORE the food and activities.  WARNING: Pictures below are extremely cute.  Proceed slowly to not overwhelm yourself.

Mothers and Daughters

Just a warning, I am standing on my 'soapbox', so turn back now if you don't want to hear my rant of the day. I have strong opinions, so read at your own risk. :) I just watched this video, Mothers and Daughters , and had to share it. I watched a very disturbing episode of Oprah yesterday (the DVR recorded another episode for some reason). I won't go in to details, but despite all of the discussion I was very upset and surprised by the actions of the mother. She was basically the opposite of what a mother should reflect. She offered no love, support, encouragement and in this particular situation protection for any of her children. I particularly like how Elder Ballard mentions what expectations we as women are presented with today. Pointing out how, women are often made to look silly, and objectified. Our roles, that we are divinely given, are continually undermined . Women seek guidance on how we should look, what we should wear etc. from people that really do...

What's Fabric?

David's Bridal Highly Educated & Well Informed Employee: Thank you for calling DB. How can I help you? Me: Hi, yes I'm trying to order several yards of fabric. DBHE&WIE: I'm sorry, what? I don't understand you? Me: I'm trying to order some fabric. DBHE&WIF: order what? Me: Fabric. F-A-B-R-I-C (yes, I spelled it out for her just mistakenly thinking this would in some way make the communicating proces easier). DBHE&WIE: I don't know what that is. Me: (stunned, but I'm used to working with stupid people on the phone...here's my attempt to 'dumb it down') the stuff the clothes are made of--cotton, taffeta..? DBHE&WIE: Oh! Oh, I don't know...let me transfer you to alterations. Long story short: alterations first language was NOT English. She transferred me back... Hung up--called another location. They're going to call me back tomorrow to let me know. ps Tanlee-you owe me.

Food Strategies to Help You Stay on Track!

What is up, ya'll?! Yes, I'm from Texas, I say y'all...a lot. #noshame Today, I wanted to take a little detour from the cleaning, organizing, life stuff to chat a little more about fitness and nutrition.   As some of you may, or may not, know I am an amateur body builder.  I have competed in the bikini division for the past 3 years. I would not consider myself an athlete, well, I never did any way until recently!  They label you "athlete" at the competitions and I'm not going to lie, I loved it!  Though, on several occasions I would forget they were referring to me, too!😝 I have typically been active from high school on through college and as an adult, but obviously, this competing took my fitness and nutrition to a whole new level.  I am not a certified trainer or nutritionist, but I have learned a lot through this journey! Meal/Snack Prepping Tired of hearing about meal prepping yet?  It's gonna be a frequent response, from me, on how to su...
