I'm sure the two people that read it have been holding their breath, waiting patiently as I got my act together. All jokes, obviously! The truth is the last six months have been so hard and trying I found no motivation to type a single word about it. I was in hibernation. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">We moved into my parents house early October, I found out we were pregnant and we had a two year old that we had to share a room with. I was sicker than sick, we didn't have a home and Quinne was a terrible two year old. Or should I say she was a really good one? After almost five months living in my parents home we moved into the fixer-upper we bought. (At that point anything would be better than living with my parents. Im grateful for them opening up their home to us, but it was a bad situation to be in for me.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">So now we are living in a consturction zone, no kitchen no living room and one tiny bathroom. Its crazy town over here! I'm truly impressed with myself and the fact that I haven't ended up in a hospital full of pregnancy safe meds. It has been so difficult and challenging for all of us. David and I rarely get time alone which is really really hard for me. And poor Quinne lives with drywall dust and nails surrounding her at all times. Thank goodness she in a resiliant little person and hopefully will never remember how crazy her mommy was during all this!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The other night David asked if I was excited to have life go back to normal so I could do the things I love like blogging. I thought about all the things I'm excited for. Not eating every meal with the microwave involved, and having a couch to veg out on while my body expands in every direction. And, ya I missed blogging! But I don't need a clean and put together house to do that. I was happy he brought it up because I have missed sharing what's going on in our lives to the tiny handful of readers. Writing is fun for me and I want to remember this time. Even though it's been hellish.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Hello internet world! I'm back(?)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Love </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Noelle</span>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10018663976013379779noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37518024623877650.post-49776622335587912952013-10-11T20:18:00.004-07:002013-10-11T20:18:40.051-07:002 minutes<span style="font-size: x-small;">Two years ago, from this exact moment that I write, Quinne was born into this world. It was the greatest thing I've ever accomplished and I'm thankful for her each and every day. There are days when I feel so run down and can't bare another meltdown or hysterical toddler. And there are days when I am so overwhelmed with love it physically hurts. Most of the time it's the latter of the two (thank god!) and I count myself extremely blessed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Quinne is are amazing. Seriously, she is the coolest little person I know. (Of course I am bias, but in all seriousness she is so cool. ) Her sense of humor is hysterical for someone so new to the world of comedy. Any question you ask the answer will be a simple 'sure'. And coming from her croaky little voice it's hysterical. She talks about tooting all the time. Yelling across the table to MoMo that she tooted. If you ask her how old she is her response is a silly 'two minutes!'. It's so funny I die all day long. If she were a real life version of the Truman Show people would flip. Obviously, we would be her parents and life wouldn't be in a giant fake moon. I just really think people would get a kick out of her adorableness. Ok. I'll stop now, it's late and I'm ridiculously tired. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Quinne We Love You!!!! I hope you know that. From the deepest most bottom places of out hearts, we love you.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Happy Birthday! </span><br />

I can start baking and eating everything pumpkin! And hopefully we get some cool fall weather over here. I want to bundle and feel that brisk air. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Life is crazy. And we are just doing what we can to stay sane, calm and collected. David's way better at that than me. But all in all it's moving along. My friend Erin came over yesterday and encouraged me that it wasn't as big of a disaster as I was making it out to be (And that I wasn't as big of a disaster as I thought I was!). Sometimes you just need someone to remind you that things are good and it will all be fine in the end. And that I am so grateful for!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I can hear Quinne calling my name from her room. Not mommy, but my actual name. (I wish computers could do emojis. They really bring home my feelings and express what I'm thinking all on that little yellow face)</span><br />

That's in less than a month!! And I'm stressed to the max. Our house went on the market last Thursday and papers were signed the next Monday. To say it went fast is the understatement of the year. I spent the last few days in shock and total confusion of where to start. How in the world am I supposed to pack up a whole house, work, and take care of Quinne in this small window of time?! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">My life is consumed by Americanos and boxes. Quinne tearing through piles I make and basically making packing impossible. F</span><span style="font-size: x-small;">inding old pictures, letters and memories that leave me a sentimental blob on the floor, in a bigger mess than when I started. Let's just say I'm going to be happy when this is all over. And then really sad because it means its all over.</span><br />

Three years has really flown by. It has been long during some parts and a blink of an eye in others. We have had so many ups and downs but through it all we have loved each other. And more importantly, we like each other so much. We love the company and the laughs we share together. We are in it together and I'm comforted by that each and every day.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I love you David. I really really do and I'm so excited to see what this next year brings. Now take me back to Barbados! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">It is official, we are selling our home. This has been something that David and I have been talking about for a really long time and now that it is here I'm overwhelmed with emotions. Imagine that. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Our house is so great. It is spacious, roomy and always open to our friends and family. I met this house before David and I were together and have so many good good memories. The only downside is the area that the house lives in. We are on a really busy street and that I hate. We have so many people walking by all day long and most of them look on the suspicious side. I won't miss the loud sirens or the Big Gulp cups in our yard that's for sure. If only we could magically transport the house to another part of town! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Here's where the tears come in. I've been bitching about this place for so long and now that there's a for sale sign planted in our front yard I'm extremely sad about moving. On Thursday we had our first showing and I got a text from David saying it was happening at work. I couldn't help the tears that were streaming down my face. Having someone in my home inspecting it was too much. We've put so much thought and work into this place. Offering it up to the public to scrutinize and pick apart is so hard to do. Imagining someone else making memories here is so hard to swallow. But, I know it's for the best. It's for Quinne, it's for our family and that is all that matters. I want her to grow up being able to play in the yard without me being a hawk, thinking everyone that walks by might come back a steal her ( that is a real life thought I've had, call me crazy). I want to feel safe and know my neighbors when David is out of town. And we want Quinne to be in a school district we are proud to send her to.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I know that this is an amazing opportunity and look forward to the future. I just have to allow myself to feel the emotions and process this how I need to. It is after all just a house and as long as our family is together that is all that counts at the end of the day. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">"She naked!!" </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Obviously, this is not true! She had on a strapless dress and apparently Quinne has never seen bare shoulders before.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">>>While standing in line at the grocery store the man in front of us had dark slicked back hair. Clearly he was going for the gelled look:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">"Man! wet hair man!!" Over and over again. Poor man.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">>>"Quinne big pooped!! BIG poop" Pretty much anywhere you don't want your kid yelling 'Big Poop'. She actually talks about poop all day long. And I find it completely hilarious.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">>> She calls my dad "Grandpapa" which KILLS me!! It's so funny and formal and she called him that all on her own. If you could see my dad in his slippers and baggy sweatshirts you wouldn't think a fancy name like that would work. But it totally does. HAh!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">>> "Sawsaw on it" Translation: 'Salsa on it' We pretend, or in most cases put salsa on it. Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">>> In the mornings when David goes to get Quinne out of bed</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">D: Hello</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Q: I love you</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">D: Won't you tell me your name</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Q: Qwiin!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">This kid is hilarious and makes everyday worth waking up for. </span><br />

And lucky for me I have a friend who happens to be an incredibly talented graphic designer. Coming from someone who can barely email without having to ask someone for help (I'm almost serious!!) designing something on the computer with all those letters and symbols and numbers sends me into a panic. How in the world do you do that!? I really don't understand, and so I'm completely impressed and thankful for Carly.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I met her years ago and fell in love with her quirky personality. She is hilarious and so very nice. It was a time when wearing slips over jeans was cool and going to shows to hear your friends band was the social highlight of the week. I have many good and funny memories of her and even though we don't call each other after a crappy day or when we fall in front of strangers and everyone looks the other way I will always love her.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Oh and did I forget to mention she is beautiful, has amazing style and lives a dream life with her babelicious man and Frenchie named Danger? Ya that too. I'm a total creep on instagram, spying on her and whatnot. So thank you so so so much my friend for helping me out!!! You are so talented and I'm lucky to know you. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Love, </span><br />

In real life it has been the opposite, hence the stillness. Between friends weddings, parties, work, husband, an almost two year old(?!!) and an overall laziness that came with the constant heat waves my motivation has been down in the dumps. But alas, I'm here to share our life lately! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">This summer has been filled with so much fun. Having a kid makes you realize how much you love summer and how much you want to be in the sun enjoying every last minute. I love it so much! Life doesn't get much better than a long day at the beach with friends and way too many good snacks.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">We've witnessed some friends share vows of commitment and a life of happiness together. Making me tear up and remember our own wedding. So many good memories and reminders of the special words we shared a few years back. I'm a sucker for a wedding and I've had my fill of them this summer.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">We've watched Quinne turn into this little kid that has many, many opinions! She is the sassiest, most determined little lady and with all the challenges that come with those qualities, it makes for some really good laughs. Quinne says and does the funniest and weirdest things. I could write a book about how silly this girl is! I have laughed, cried, wanted to down a bottle of wine and gone to bed way too early. Being a mom is really hard! It's equally challenging as it is amazing. Seriously its nuts!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm happy to welome the start of fall. All I can think about is pumpkin flavored things and leather jackets. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">The weekend was filled with so much fun and friends I'm sad that it has come to an end. It was packed with activities and hanging out that it flew by so fast. On Friday I got to meet up with some of the girls from work and enjoy good drinks and ridiculously good tapas. I love tapas! You get to sample many flavors and get stuffed off of mac and cheese and calamari, but in small quantities so you don't feel like a total pig.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Up next was a dinner at our house with some dear friends who just got back from their honeymoon. I love seeing couples after their wedding and vacation. It's so fun to hear about the amazing time they had, and David and I get to reminisce about ours. A win win! I made a whole chicken from scratch in the dutch oven for the first time. It was tasty and I'm now going to use a dutch oven whenever possible! The night ended stuffed and relaxing on the couch with a glass of wine in hand. Perfect.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">My favorite part was Sunday. We celebrated summer and friends with a fabulous garden party, and did a little grocery shopping while enjoying the most delicious food. The only thing missing was daddy. The weather was good, the company was even better and Quinne ate a whole watermelon to herself. (well, not a whole one but pretty close!) My dream in life is to have a garden to live off of and chickens and a goat. I was in heaven at this party and saw my future and how much fun we're going to have. Thank you Palmers for being such amazing hosts! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Our relationship has had many struggles in the last couple of years. And I'll admit that a lot of them stemmed from me and my selfish, non-budging ways. I was stubborn and unwilling to admit that I was wrong in most situations. I still struggle with that, but it's on such a smaller scale. Giving the silent treatment and not breaking down was one of my strongest qualities. Being unwilling to meet him halfway and giving him a chance to have a say was something I fought with both fists up.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I'm happy to write today about my accomplishment on backing down from my high-horse. On seeing Davids side and willing to talk things through. Over the last four months or so a lot has been happening in my heart. I'm seeing things and people in a different light. I have had clarity about things that I have been struggling with and a fresh pair of eyes to see what is going on around me. I'm so thankful to be in a place of love and respect. Being with David is the best part about me. He makes me laugh and teaches me to calm down and relax. He has so much love and kindness towards everyone. He never talks bad about others and would never want to make someone uncomfortable. These days I'm taking some lessons from the book of David. Our relationship is worth every effort in making it better and stronger and that is my focus. We still fight, we yell, we get mad. We are a work in progress and one that might take years to work out. But it's a fight worth fighting and I know there are great things in store for us. Together as a family we are strong. </span></div>

I could eat about ten of those things and still want more. I love it so much with a little salt and pepper. Quinne had her first cob all to herself the other day and I died laughing watching her eat it! She loved it, I mean how can you not, and was so funny about eating it. After a long day at work it was just what I needed. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Sometimes you don't feel like dressing up and going out to dinner. Especially after working all day. Sometimes you don't want to talk to anyone else but your date, and for these nights picnics are in order. It's so fun to lay out a blanket, lay out and munch on good snacks. Add some wine and a crystal clear sunset and it's heaven. </span></div>

I love the fair, but then I sort of hate the fair. Being that it's in Paso means between the hours of 11am and 5pm you're going to be miserable from the heat. And you are going to spend an arm and a leg for things like deep fried oreos and half pound corn dogs (which David got both of and I was mortified). The carnies are all drunk and totally creepy, yelling at you as you walk by, trying to get you to toss the ring in a bowl with goldfish, who are all wishing they were anywhere but in that bowl. Or ride the rides that make me wonder it the man operating it was the one who put it together. But, it's all part of the experience! And that is why year after year we go and make sweaty, upset stomach memories.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">And that is why we took Quinne for her first fair experience. It would've been magical if the temperature was under the 100 degree mark and I wasn't about to pass out or barf from the beating sun. I had visions of her riding little baby rides and petting animals. In my mind sweat wasn't dripping down our backs and Quinne didn't have a beet-red face that people walking by commented on. It was nuts people! We hid under canopies and stood in front of misters every chance we got and prayed for some onshore breeze.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">But, with all the craziness it was a good day being together. We learned that going in the mid day was a bad move and next year we'll be arriving with the sane evening crowd. It's so fun trying things together as a family and making these memories even when they don't match up to the ones you've created in your head. Another lesson I am learning in this life. My struggle with control and expectations is finally easing and I'm able to find joy in disastrous moments. Yay for that! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">a portrait of my husband, each week, every week in 2013</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">This picture is beyond ridiculous. And that is why I had to use it! I mean every time I look at it I want to bust up laughing, or giggle uncontrollably. David is so funny and weird and that is one of the greatest qualities about him. Many times when I am trying to be mad and make a point he breaks the tension with a face like this one or says something so silly I can't help but crack a smile. We're good together like that. Neither one of us takes ourselves too seriously and for that I'm so lucky. It's no wonder Quinne is a little weirdo in her own way. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree! </span>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10018663976013379779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37518024623877650.post-84109386730161762922013-07-29T20:31:00.001-07:002013-07-29T20:31:32.463-07:00where has the time gone?!<span style="font-size: x-small;">This summer has been nonstop! It has been filled with so much fun and playing and my only wish is that it would slow down so I can enjoy every moment. Also, I'd like it to slow down for the sake of my house not turning into a giant trash can. Why can't I multitask and keep things in order when life becomes exciting and hectic?! If you know the answer please let me know!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I've been in Hollywood for a bachlorette weekend, where I realized I can't keep up like I thought I could. I was hungover from lack of sleep and eating everything in sight rather than from alcohol! I'm getting old and having a baby changes the party animal inside! We also went to see Tim Mcgraw in concert and it was the best time ever. We danced and sang our hearts out and it was so good. Letting lose is one of the best feelings, especially when it's with your love and good friends. What else? Just a lot of fun with Quinne and trying to keep the normalcy of her daily life in the mix of all our fun.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">So, I've put up a bunch of pictures of our fun. And, hopefully I stay on top of things for the rest of the summer!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm the worst blogger, apparently. I have missed WEEKS of this fun portrait project and feel like a total loser. David asked me the other day if I had quit the portrait buisness and I didn't even know what he was talking about. My mind has been in a million places all at once and I'm about to explode. It's time to take a deep breath and calm down.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">And to answer Davids question, I didn't quit and my next 22 weeks are going to kick ass. Sorry babe! </span>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10018663976013379779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37518024623877650.post-24325689271625926482013-07-15T19:40:00.000-07:002013-07-15T19:40:13.185-07:00kid things<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">One of the greatest things about being a parent is experiencing childhood all over again. But this time around you are seeing it with a fresh pair of eyes. Watching through your kids eyes is so much fun and makes you stop and appreciate the small things. Like the way Play-Doh smells. I love the smell and haven't smelt it in years! Thanks to Quinne and her ever growing imagination and curiosity I get to smell and play with the things of my past.</span></div>

I guess all holidays are so much fun in my book! Dressing up, food, days off together, more food, friends. A recipe for a great day. This year was so low key, I think it might have been my favorite so far this year.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Starting the day off with a parade in Cayucos with some friends, then eating huge burritos in front of mindless Netflix and ending the day eating ice cream in the park. Oh, and Davids ridiculous patriotic t-shirt. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Perfection! We are beyond lucky and proud to live in this country. I'm happy to call it home.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Saturday morning started out with garage sale that was sadly unsuccessful. Probably do to the fact that we had zero signs luring people to the house and that 89% of the stuff was my clothes, shoes and purses. So if you didn't wear a size 8 shoes and wear small and medium clothes you were out of luck. As all the men quickly found out. Luckily I was at a wedding doing hair so I didn't have to sit in the hot sun and be bored to death. Sorry David! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">But the morning turned into a much more fun afternoon, and we were headed to our friends wedding. I love love love weddings! It's so wonderful to see your friends come together and tie the knot. I always cry and look like an idiot, but I don't care! Being married is fun and an adventure I hope everyone who wants it gets to experience it. Amy and Garrett are the sweetest people. So kind and nice, never making you feel unwelcome. They are perfect for each other in so many ways and I'm beyond happy they are husband and wife. I was basically sobbing as Garrett walked down the isle with his little girl Riley, and then a wreck by the time Amy came down with her adorable dad. I was sweating, crying and had no tissues. A hot mess. But I was happy! And you could see happiness all around you, it was contagious. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Sunday came with more hot weather and we took to the beach, making the most out of our Sunday. It was the perfect day. We relaxed and snacked on fruit, played in the sand and water and spent time with good friends. We ended the night with a BBQ and talking all things wedding, honeymoons, and the silly things Quinne does. It's moments like these that make me beyond happy. The littlest details in life that add up to something so big. Having people you can count on, being able to enjoy a simple dinner with the setting sun, watching your friends love your baby, I could go on and on but then I'd start crying. I wish the weekend could go on just a little while longer. One more day to be reminded of how great our life really is. </span><br />

I cling to every minute knowing that it will come to an end and Monday is waiting to sink it's claws into me. Chores and appointments and errands loom over my head, but on Sunday they can wait. Sundays are for being together, when we can be, and enjoying every moment it has to offer. I live for Sundays. I hope everyone is having a nice one too!</span></div>

We were spontaneous<span style="font-size: x-small;">One of the things that I sometimes struggle with is the chance to do whatever we what whenever we want. I feel guilty admitting that, but I'd be lying if I never thought about how much our schedules rule our lives. Between David working so much, our schedules not lining up and, oh yeah an almost toddler we are busy.</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> Not being bound by our schedule is something I'm slowly learning to let go of. I have been so wrapped up in Quinnes naps and eating and everything else I forget how much fun we can have by letting go. I'm never going to fully ditch a schedule, they do have their benefits too! Yet, it won't kill me to have a little fun. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">On Wednesday spontaneity paid us a visit. All morning we were dealing with car issues and dragging Quinne around. No fun for anyone and it was the first day we've all been together in a long time. And then it hit me. Let's get out of here and go to the zoo! Yes, we were going to be adventurous and it was all my idea. I was so proud of myself for making a fast decision and not putting much thought into it. For being carefree and spontaneous, two qualities I lack in a major way. Once we were both on board I tried to talk David out of it( I'm such a freak), but he was set on seeing some gorillas and nothing was going to get in his way. I'm so happy we made it happen. Quinne had the best day and so did we. I'm realizing that I can't control everything around me, and when I try to I usually end up ruining my own day from too high of expectations.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm so grateful for new days and new opportunities. Remembering how much fun you can have at the drop of a hat was something I needed. Something I didn't even know I was missing. </span><br />

I'm not sad at all and would rather cheat with the ones I love then miss out! I made dinner tonight to get us back on track with a simple turkey burger and carrots. So good. Here's the recipe:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Ginger Carrots</b> ( a lot of ginger happens around here)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">4 large carrots cut into skinny slices</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">2 tbs. olive oil</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">4 tsp. finely chopped fresh ginger</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">a few drops of sesame oil</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">1 teas soy sauce</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">1 tbs toasted black sesame seeds</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Heat olive oil in a large pan over high heat. Add ginger and cook, stirring for about one minute or until you can smell the ginger. Add carrots, mixing ginger oil throughout the carrots. Next add 1/4 cup water and turn the heat to medium high. Cook until the carrots are tender, about 7 minutes and the water is evaporated. Stir in sesame oil, soy sauce and sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">In case you were wondering the turkey patties were dry. So dry we had to add hummus just to get them down. The day I don't over cook any sort of meat I will alert the news. At least we ended the night with silly smiles and strawberries. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Happy mid week everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10018663976013379779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37518024623877650.post-42649479280342498252013-06-24T16:32:00.001-07:002013-06-24T16:32:16.079-07:00bloat be gone<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">It's safe to say that I have a very sensitive stomach. Too sensitive for my liking, but it is what it is. And after having Quinne it has only gotten worse. I am a pretty good and healthy eater for the most part. I can't eat dairy without having the worst stomach ache of all times and I've cut out gluten almost all together. My sister has ciliac and my mom and I are both gluten intolerant so it's just the safe thing to do.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Lately I've been splurging more than usual and my body is mad. I inhaled a slice of pizza the other night and instantly thought I was going to throw up. Maybe it had to do with the fact that I ate it in about 30 seconds, but I think it was more. I was on the floor of the bathroom taking deep breaths like I was sick from drinking too much or I was pregnant again! Neither of the two were the case. So it's easy to put myself on a detox week after the pizza fiasco and a bloated stomach that is not cute at all. And it's really so sad because I love pizza so so much. I just wish it liked me back. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Over the week I'm going to share some of my favorite things that I eat and drink. A lot of veggies and smoothies are on the menu. For today I'm making ginger tea. I love ginger, and it is so good for you. It helps with digestion(yes!), blood circulation, strengthens immunity, and helps relieve stress. It does more, those are just my favorites!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Ginger tea</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I made a lot so I could use it for a few days. You can serve it cold or hot, both are delicious. Store up to three days in the fridge. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">per 4 cups of boiling water</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">4 teaspoons of finely grated ginger</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">4 tablespoons of fresh squeezed lemon juice</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">3 teaspoons of raw honey( more or less depending on your sweet tooth)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Mix all ingredients in a bowl and let sit while water is boiling. Pour boiling water into bowl and whisk all together. The ginger pulp will float to the top and it you want to remove it use a fine mesh strainer. Or you could leave it if you like that pulpy feel. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Enjoy right away or not. It's a perfect beverage from morning to night. </span><br />
