You know when you have to use a rubber band on your 12 year old "fat jeans", it's time to finally go through the closet and get rid of the jeans and pants that no longer fit. I had been dreading it but I decided to just do it!
So, here are my SEVENTEEN pairs of pants and jeans that don't fit anymore. This is a result of a hormone patch that I started in March and quit in September. I gained 14 lbs from my complain weight and 25 lbs from my low weight last year. The most frustrating thing about it has been not being able to wear any of the clothes in my closet. My shirts are starting to fit again though but I don't know if my jeans ever will so I put them up for now and maybe forever. I know one thing, I'll NEVER complain about my old complain weight again. Oh well! It's just life...and I'm just happy I am doing better physically. Oh, and the reason I have so many jeans is because I keep my clothes forever! I'm a clothes hoarder. I was reading an article about getting rid of clothes and I'm going to try to do it this week! We will see what happens. :)

More later! :)

I have followed you for a few yrs, and I honestly will say, you're beauty has truly increased. You are one of those people who could shave their head and be 100 lbs more, and no one would notice because they see your precious heart. ;) I know exactly how you feel though, as i have gained 30lbs in the last 2.5yrs due to brain tumor (non cancerous) and thyroid issue. It was very hard initially, to have no control over the issue, and to know my "old" body was gone, but now when I want to complain I stop myself and thank the Lord i am alive and i am not dealing with a life threatening illness. I too have severe chronic pain, fibro, IC and pelvic congestion syndrome (hope not tmi), and now horrible teeth issues which has probably been the hardest issue for me in many ways, but know that each day we are given is a gift, and that I am a daughter of the great physician who knows why I physically go through what I do. He will be faithful to complete what He started in me. I pray for you every morning as I know you struggle with pain too. Think how much your earthly dad cares for you, beautiful Heather, and remember that your heavenly Father cares soooo much more!! Blessings to you!!

Fast and Easy Rolo Brownie Bites

Happy Happy Friday, y'all! Some of y'all might know that back in the day I had a baking blog. And, by back in the day, I mean I started it in 2009 and my last post was in 2011. I probably should update it and keep adding to it, but I just don't bake or cook as much anymore now that our nest is empty. But, I did have so much fun with that blog. I would just bake or cook as usual but along the way I would take pictures and blog about the recipes. I still go back to that site and get recipes. I send my kids and friends there when they are wanting a certain recipe, too. It's so easy to just send them a link. I'm all about fast and easy recipes! One of my favorite super easy "go to" recipes are these super yummy and easy brownie bites. I first blogged about these in 2009 here but thought I would add the yummy recipe to this blog, too.  Ingredients: Brownie Mix (I use the Duncan Hines 13x9 family size). Rolo's (they now have them unwrapped) WOOHO...

Dresser Redo

I've been so bad at blogging in the past few years. I blog so I can remember. I painted a set of chest of drawers a few years ago in our other house and I loved the result. The only problem is I didn't blog about it so I have no record of what I did to it. I have no idea what red paint color I used. I thought I had it written on FB but I have searched and searched and I can't find anywhere where I wrote the paint color so now I have this wonderful red chest of drawers and have no idea what the color is. I didn't want that to happen again so I am making sure that I write about the chest of drawers in our master bedroom that I recently painted.  Here is the piece of furniture before Sorry about me in my robe in the mirror. LOL! I really wanted to lighten this up so I decided I would paint it white. I LOVE white and thought it would be great SO I used this chalk paint that I got at Michael's. I had already used it on my coffee table and thought it would be f...

My girl is MARRIED!!!

Oh, it's been so long since I've posted! I always say I'm going to start blogging again so I can remember things and then I never do. I get overwhelmed because I get so behind. It's like when I used to scrapbook, I would get behind and then just not do it. That's how I am about blogging but I just don't seem to remember things as well if I don't write them down and I love to have a record of life with pictures. But, I just HAD to write about Macy's wedding! I am just so happy about it!! I feel so overwhelmed with God's love for me and His goodness!!! Macy has always been such an example to me of God's grace and this is no exception. I always say, "How can Macy be MY child?" because she's just so NOT me. She is so much better! She loves mission trips, she is so laid back, and she has definitely not struggled in the same areas that I have struggled with. I've prayed for so long for specifics for Macy's future husband. The mai...
