Carowinds- Trip #1 2017

Image
We had our first trip to Carowinds in 2017 today! We met Leigh Ann and the kids for a fun day on the first day of spring break. Mom came with us for a little "Disney Prep."We lasted about 4.5 hours until the kids melted down. Mom and I felt pretty good that we lasted longer than them! It was perfect weather and the crowds were low. It looks like Natalie is going to be following after Allison in the daring department. She will ride any of the rides she big enough for. I even road The Cobra roller coaster with her. She loved it. I threw up. Having kids ruined me for any sort of motion! Being with their cousins really made the day fun and they can't wait to go back. We learned the kids need sunglasses and a break in the afternoon. Overall, super fun day.

Why I love....bold honesty {my eating disorder recovery}

The lying started in high school...at first, it was just my feelings & emotions. In college I progressed to hiding some pretty horrible behaviors.

And I didn't know why. I had no idea why I was so depressed, confused and angry. I had had a wonderful childhood and came from a great family. There was no abuse, no rebellion, no tragic deaths or horrible secrets. So the guilt set in. Shoot, I don't even have a good reason to feel this way. Depression turned to guilt turned to shame. It all became too much and the feelings needed an outlet. Thus, the birth of my 7-year-long struggle with an eating di...

I don't know how you do it

Image
I've been wanting to post on this topic for awhile now. I don't go through a week without someone saying the words, "I don't know how you do it," or some variation of that. Most people are well intentioned, and just can't imagine having 4 young kids, especially having twins....at least, I think that is what they mean. I always want to have a really good comeback, but most of the time I wonder what "it" is. So I decided to see what Google had to say on "it." I stumbled upon a blog and thought the author, Misty, had some enlightening words when her mother had a sudden, massive heart attack : When I was doing all the things I knew to do to take care of my mom, I never even thought about “how” I was going to do "it". Most mornings (and most nights) I told God that I couldn’t, so He had to. He did. He woke me up every morning, got me showered and cleaned, put me in my car, drove me to the hospital, and got me back to that room (not...
